Mathematically Thrilling Oscars

DVD

Abduction of Eden starring Beau Bridges.  This looks incredibly disturbing.  Girl hitches a ride and is imprisoned with other women as a sex slave in a ring run by a local policeman.



Dallas Buyer's Club starring Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto.  Guy illegally imports drugs for HIV/AIDS treatment.



Amy Schumer: mostly sex stuff by Amy Schumer.  Woman stands on stage and tells jokes.  People in audience laugh.  Good luck finding a clean audio clip.

Fiction

The Bootlegger by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott.  Another thriller novel cover with boats and flames and explosions.

Black Horizon by James Grippando.  A massive oil spill in Cuban waters is heading north and the Cubans will fire on any ships coming to assist closing the leak.

Moon Sisters by Therese Walsh.  Walsh's author photo has her kneeling between rail road tracks.  I learned to stay away from railway tracks when I lived in Kansas.  The novel is a, "mesmerizing coming-of-age novel, with its sheen of near-magical realism."


A Circle of Wives by Alice LaPante.  "A searing and spellbinding psychological thriller of marital deception, revenge, and murder."  Let's apply that to real life, shall we?
Deception: "Yes, I put the dog out."
Revenge: I'm going to change the TV station.
Murder: "Aaah, spider!  Spider!  Kill the spider!"
