Boston Strangler
This was an interesting movie. I really enjoy true crime stories, and this is a solid one. Kira Knightly does an amazing job being American and honestly I could completely forget she was British so well done ma’am.

MH370 The Lost Flight
While I typically try and be fair/easy of movies/tv shows, that will not happen with this one. Conspiracy theory central. This entire show is 100% a cash grab or "LOOK AT ME" by Jeff Wise. He is an aviation reporter and basically the entire show is him making the most outrageous theories possible.

Power Moves
Adam Grant has some great interviews that tell of really interesting changes in the dynamics of power. This short book is a great quick listen that will at least provide you with some insight into your own motivations and how to support and grow yourself.
Movies
The Covenant
Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim are an amazing duo. Both of them are at their peak and provide an amazing overview of the view by most service members about the interpreters. They both provide a truly believable experience

House
Having watched this show a number of times and it is always an entertaining show to rewatch. Hugh Laurie is amazing in this show consistently and doesn't miss a beat the entire series. The supporting cast is really good until the end of the series where some of the new cast showed up.
Movies
American Sniper
Every year I watch a series of movies that are based on true stories of actions taken to secure the freedom that I have and live with every day. This is one of those movies. It is one I watch out side of that time frame as well as it is full of action and a great story.

Split
James McAvoy should have won EVERY award for this movie. His ability to switch physically as well as his voice between each character is amazing. It is because of this, that he should be your favorite actor for the rest of eternity.

Rise and Kill First
I know Israel has done some shady shit over the years, the amount of innocent blood on their hands might put the Crusades to shame. Bergman does a wonderful job of presenting decades of “preemptive” strikes against some legitimate threats and some people who were definitely not.

The Great Unmaking
When I wrote the review for Five Tribes, I specifically said that I felt the book was a stop gap for the third book. I was 100% right. The book created a problem half way through the book and that took a higher threat than the original threat which was already very large.
