Baby Driver (2017)

Edgar Wright directed Shaun of the Dead. Since that triumph he has not hit a new level. Baby Driver continues this trend. Its a nice movie done well. Super cast and a story that I have seen a thousand times before made almost fresh.
Ansel Elgrot  gradually wins you over. Similar for Lily James, this is a girl that everyone watching the movie could fall in love with, and that is cinematic magic.

You have seen this movie, repeat a thousand times before. Its worth the one more time. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 93%.  It has generally rave reviews. I call hype and hubris but still give this a solid rating

3.1 for those that love skid marks stars

Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017)

The original Starship Troopers based upon the Robert Heinlein juvenile novel was IMHO a Orwellian Masterpiece. 

I could be wrong but this is the first Anime movie I have ever watched to the end. Maybe it was Casper van Dien doing the Johnny Rico voice, or maybe it was the cynical spot on writing, whatever I really dug this cartoon.

If you think Orwell was underselling the problem watch this movie.
