Robert B Parker-"Brimstone"-A Virgil Cole novel, set in the late 1880s in the American West. This is the third of this series, and as always, Parker's writing is brilliant, sparse, and lovely.
"Night and Day"-The 8th Jesse Stone novel. Another one of Parker's series, this involves a small town police chief, and is also, as always, well done.
Robert L. Sawyer-"Rollback"-Another book by the author of Flash Forward. This one involves aliens, but not in any overwhelming way-even non SF fans might like it.
"The Terminal Experiment"- Another engaging tale with just a tinge of SF. Very highly recommended.
"Year One"-Another deeply silly Jack Black vehicle, purporting to be a tale of a caveman who winds up embroiled in prehistory.
"Monsters and Aliens"-A very cute little cartoon about, well, Monsters. And Aliens. It has its moments, though.
"Tropic Thunder"-An utterly silly tale of a fake Vietnam movie that becomes a real adventure. It's full of showbiz inside baseball, but Tom Cruise does a good job as profane studio head Les Grossman.
But I'm glad I didn't pay for a ticket for any of them.
