The Terminal List: Dark Wolf
This is so full of action, tradecraft, and honestly this dance with doing the right there. There is this constant conversation about "Means justify the end," "Who is the in the right," "How far is too far?"

The Blood of Dawnwalker
Where it really starts to weigh is after you gain access to the full map and see all the different things that are available to do. Each of these task from simple ones to killing bosses, imposes a time component to it. More important items can take 7 "Hours."
Movies
Wanted
Not because of the way they made her look badass, but because of her devotion to the belief of what she was doing. When she found out that things were not as she was told, she followed the letter to ensure things didn't happen to someone else like it happened to her.
Video Game
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
The fighting was a lot of fun. I think they also knew it was fun because they created these fighting pits and I just loved doing those trying to pull off these multi-kills. The mini cutscene they did for the multi-kills did get old quick when it happens a lot, but it was still cool to watch.
Video Game
Palworld
I enjoyed us all working together, mainly Carter, to achieve the roles, but I think the requirement to grind for 10000000s of resources to make one item quickly got in the way of fun. It could have been a second job to keep the base up and running.
Movies
Tag
This is a wild story. Something that I don't think would work these days with the cost of things now compared to even 10+ years ago. I also can't imagine have a friend group so strong that people fly each year to go play tag. Mainly because I have never lived anywhere long enough
Movies
Mortal Kombat II
Let's start with the acting/writing. I legit felt like I was the 90s of Mortal Kombat. They even call it out with "No one wants to see an old man doing karate poses" when that is all he does. There is even this over the top choreography moment between Johnny and Baraka that looks more like a dance
Movies
Supergirl
I think Milly Alcock does a great job in her role though. I don't have an issue with her role or how she plays it, but the writing was miserable. The amount of cliché, tag lines, one-liners that are way off the mark, and just lazy characters is kind of miserable.
Movies
In the Grey
I had never thought of Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill working together, but they were outstanding. They played their roles so well that it did feel like they had been doing movies together for a long time. They have great chemistry together in a brotherly fashion.
TV
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
With the weight of those moments, I do feel like it is glossed over with these comedic buddy comedy moments that have a much more prominent feature in the show. One that I am not sure was needed over and over again. It makes these moments that are supposed to be so important, brushed aside.
Video Game
Assassin's Creed Unity
The parkour the changes from Assassin's Creed III, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag, and Assassin's Creed Rogue, which are all really based off the same system to unity is night and day different. You can move up and down with much more fluidity than you ever did
Movies
The Hunt for Red October Movie
Alec Baldwin is an "ok" Jack Ryan. For sure not my favorite, but there could have been worse choices. I think for the time and how the character is written in the book, he does make a better choice for the studious and almost nerdy version we have from the book.
