| Date | Category | Title | Author | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-01 | Movie | A Scanner Darkly | Richard Linklater | ⭐ | Live action with interpolated rotoscope. Not really that great, had potential. Dystopian with mass surveillance theme. |
| 2026-01 | Movie | Beverly Hills Cop | Martin Brest | ||
| 2026-01 | Movie | Crazy, Stupid, Love | Steve Carell, Emmma Stone, Gosling, etc | ⭐⭐ | Pretty entertaining. Takes a cast like this to make the audience actually give a shit about the characters. |
| 2026-01 | Movie | Eddington | Ari Aster | ⭐⭐⭐ | Clever look back at Covid era insanity |
| 2026-01 | Movie | One Battle After Another | Paul Thomas Anderson | ⭐⭐ | Good at times, but story seems more like something a 26 year old would write. Does poke fun at both the right wing nationalists and the left wing ‘revolutionaries’ |
| 2026-01 | Movie | The Batman | Matt Reeves | ⭐ | Kind of cheesy. More of a Watson and Sherlock mystery, waay too long |
| 2025-12 | Movie | Bugonia | Yorgos Lanthimos | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Dark and, at times, hilarious. Gets pretty weird and then just doesn’t stop. Emma Stone is one of the greats. |
| 2025-12 | Book | The Alchemy of Air | Thomas Hager | ||
| 2025-11 | Audiobk | An Immense World (2022) | Ed Yong | ⭐ | Lot of interesting info on the ways that animals sense. Really enlightening and incredible, but kind of drags a lot since it can just feel like a collection of facts, albiet impressive ones. |
| 2025-11 | Movie | Kinds of Kindness | Yorgos Lanthimos | ⭐⭐⭐ | three very interesting short stories, all somewhat haunting. Same actors in each and one minor character who recurrs throughout. |
