"The Woman Who Wasn't There" (available on Netflix) is worth watching -- a documentary on an extraordinary pathological liar.

Zero Days

Alex Gibney explores the phenomenon of Stuxnet, a self-replicating computer virus discovered in 2010 by international IT experts. Evidently commissioned by the US and Israeli governments, this malware was designed to specifically sabotage Iran’s nuclear programme. However, the complex computer worm ended up not only infecting its intended target but also spreading uncontrollably.

I have no idea how famous Bill Burr and Jim Gaffigan are outside the United States, but here they are emerging as two of the funniest voices in comedy. Each has one-hour specials available on Netflix. Burr’s humour is very dark and edgy, while Gaffigan never says a cross word. Both are absolutely hilarious.

However, when he finally returns home, he finds that he cannot leave the war behind.

I thought it was a pretty good movie. It is a slighter broad movie, the performances were very good, Bradley Cooper did a good job acting like Chris Kyle.

Iron Man

After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.
Sam Harris

The movie where there is a distinction between a not human and a one that is very clever human, like Iron Man. It is very clear distinction. In the end it is probably more positive to show that the real human ingenuity can produce magic level changes in our world, rather than waiting for somebody from Krypton to come help us.
