Elden Ring
The most frustratingly light story telling for a game that is so f***** difficult, but what they don't tell you is that you are a rubber ducky to the bad guys that bring bats and have a home run contest with you across the map.

Crimson Tide
First off, what a great cast. I mean it was 1995 and a lot of these people were either in their prime or just starting their careers and I don't remember it being talked about a lot. Some where not as strong as others, but when you are surrounded by heavy hitters, someone isn't going to shine.

Helldivers 2
What makes the gameplay super annoying is the devs making changes. While I understand there was a time where people would kick people for not using the meta, that doesn't mean to adjust the weapons so harshly in a PvE game.
TV
FUBAR
So it is a funny show. Low brow comedy, but fun to watch. If you liked "Mindy" then this is a great show for you. I am thinking back at this show and I remember being relatively bored. There isn't a lot that isn't predicable and just downright sloppy at times.
Video Game
Ghost of Tsushima
Beauty and Japanese flutes is just the beginning as you make mince meat of Mongols while disappointing your Uncle. There are some really cool story beats that tear at your heart especially in the Iki island DLC.
Movies
Minority Report
This movie did NOT age well. It is hard to see, bad acting, and honestly a mashed together timeline and story that easily makes this Steven Spielberg's worse movie. The lens flares and halo effect that are supposed to push a "futuristic" world makes it impossible to watch at time.
TV
Jessica Jones
I was attempting to do per episode review of this show and Episode 4 killed me. This show has no damn purpose and I was never able to finish it. I have attempted 3 times since writing this over a year ago and no. Its a 4.
Movies
The Machine
So this is a polarizing movie because it is stupid, or stupid funny depending on who you are. I meant IMDB gives it a 5.8 and rotten tomatoes a 33% which isn't surprising as critics will hate this movie. On the flip side, the audience score was 88% so like I said... polarizing.
Movies
John Wick 4
For the first time, we see the John Wick isn't just Baba Yaga. He has friends and they are there to support him in his quest. I know Winston was his friend, but at the end of the last movie there was some ambiguity to that. I say all this to point out the evolving story telling in this series.
Movies
Top Gun Maverick
This is a great movie, it is as simple as that. This was an amazing summer movie that you should have seen in theaters and if not, enjoy it with some surround sound.
Movies
Mad Max: Fury Road
I have never seen the Mel Gibson Mad Max films, I know the story thought, and I won't after this. It is a very stylistic driving movie that he some really cool action, but lacks in any real substance as far as the movie. I know that that last statement is a VERY hot take as this movie is beloved.
Movies
Fury
The acting in this movie is really just top notch with a star studded cast that is truly at their peak. I mean dark comedy, fear, love, and sacrifice are just the simplest actions that take place and these 5 people in a tank could show you it all.
