Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005) - Rated 17 Jul 2025
"This is about the pinnacle of Western animation. I was in my 20s when this came out, and was prejudiced against watching a kid's show on Nickelodeon, but I kept catching bits and pieces of it on in various places, and it starting piquing my curiosity. When I finally gave in and started watching it, it's got great action, solid world-building, and intriguing, multi-faceted characters. It's just quality TV, all-be-it aimed at a younger audience."
Attack on Titan (2013) - Rated 17 Jul 2025
"One of the best animes of all time, the art is incredible. I think the plot went off the rails by the end of the series, but it's hella fun until that happens."
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) - Rated 17 Jul 2025
"I don't know how this franchise went from the shitshow that was it's second entry to high-quality summer blockbuster, with slick spy sequences, tight action choreography, and a Tom Cruise who is defying age and performing pretty badass stunts."
The Fly (1986) - Rated 17 Jul 2025
"The Cronenberg classic, a remake better than the original. And, I gotta tell you, young Jeff Goldblum is near the top of the list of body types I wish I could obtain. Great practical effects, a tight script, and a pair of confusing baboons (like, seriously, where do you just get test subject baboons like that?)"
The Big Bang Theory (2007) - Rated 16 Jul 2025
"Mostly terrible, with jokes that just don't land in a vacuum. The casting is just so good that you can forgive parts of that. The problem is that no one on the writing team knows fuck-all about science or geek culture. References are made and then laughed at out of recognition, but anyone who knows anything about comics or Dungeons and Dragons or board games or science will just roll their eyes at the mockery the show makes of these communities."
The Exorcist III (1990) - Rated 16 Jul 2025
"A passable sequel to the first film, the script seems a bit jerky with details. George C Scott is a commanding presence, and the first third of the movie with him and Ed Flanders is the highlight. That, and the dream sequence where we see Fabio, Samuel L Jackson, and Patrick Ewing all in quick succession as angels. With a weaker casting this would have been a terrible film."
Black Mirror - Season 1 (2011) - Rated 15 Jul 2025
"A clever anthology series. Each episode is hit or miss, but in general they're just thought-provoking and interesting enough to call, the first season at least, sensational television. The episodes went downhill quick, and had I watched episode 3 first, I might not have watched the other two at all."
Frankenhooker (1990) - Rated 15 Jul 2025
"Terrible acting, a loose plot that is riddled with holes, low-budget special effects used creatively, tons of boobs, and ridiculous one-liners. This is peak Troma. When you're in the mood, this hits like a fine wine, but if you're going into this with the wrong mindset, it hits like Chinese baijiu. Plot really picked up when a hotel room full of prostitutes started smoking super crack and exploding."
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"The worst entry in the GotG trilogy, it is still a solid super hero film. Great characters, including a few new additions to the ensemble. I found the villain uninteresting, but not necessarily the acting by Kurt Russel. I wish scrappy space mercenaries was just a movie genre."
Silver Linings Playbook (2012) - Rated 14 Jul 2025
"I liked it. Bradley Cooper manages to elevate everything he's in. I liked the weird chemistry with Jennifer Lawrence, too, and it was good to see her in a role like this. It's nice to see a story of people being functional while being so dysfunctional."
