TV
The comedy and drama have a pretty good balance. There are times however, where they have pushed the characters to just be at the limit of acceptable and mainly that is Missy. Actually the more I think about it, the more it feels like all main Young Sheldon cast are just being written out.

Diego Luna should get an Emmy for this. For two seasons he has brought Cassian to live. Played a complicated and growing character that only got better as the show went on. He is also surround both others who bring the heat in their performances that you can't stop watching this show.
Movies
Michael Fassbender is at it again with a stellar performance taking most of the rest of the cast to school. That makes it sound like they did bad, they didn't, but Fassbender is just excellent. Cate Blanchett is also superb in her performance.

These two though have some great scenes both together and on their own. They feel like brothers, they fight like brothers, and if I didn't know better, I'd say they grew up together in real life. This shows that while they might not have had banger after banger, they are outstanding actors.

Let me start by saying something slightly controversial. I have never been a big fan of Harrison Ford as I think he is overrated. However, this show puts him where he belongs for everyone else. He was funny, he was emotional, and he was believable. This honestly goes for the rest of the cast as well
Movies
This is basically scene for scene the same as Gladiator. Yes there are some differences, but the story is the same. Solider gets picked up as a gladiator and then has to lead other gladiators to fight against overwhelming odds. This means people look into his background...
TV
This show has felt like a drawn out drama at times, and others it has felt like a comic book action show with an over the top amount of gore. I am not saying the gore bothers me, I am just saying that amount that is flying off each person as they get hit is about 100x more than it should be.
Movies
These movies have a huge nostalgic feeling for me. They are both simple and somewhat entertaining. I find myself a little more intrigued with the stories of Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie than Edward and Bella at times. These movies are at least worth watching once.

I will say, that if I were a vampire and had money for days, I'd buy an island too. That place was super cool. I am not sure how you get groceries with any regularity (I guess if you have money like Scrooge McDuck, then someone can drive it out to you), but that can be solved.
Movies
A "triumphant" return to better story telling. I mean that in straight sarcasm, because I can see what the movie is attempting to do when explaining the powers of Alice and Edward, but it is still wishy-washy. She can watch the future of people she chooses? All of their futures?
Movies
The wanna-be-date scene shows Jacob to be a narcissistic, egotistical, asshat. "I laugh at what makes weaker men vomit." I understand that he is attempting to himself to be better to Bella, but this is a bit much. This is where I think Taylor Lautner's skill starts to be tested.
Movies
Granted, my enjoyment from this really stems from a place of nostalgia. When you are stuck in foreign country with no way to leave a small outpost, what do you do at night? Watch crappy movies that don't mimic real life.
