Video Game
Assassin's Creed Series
Easily one of the best video game series in existence. Some of the games are great, some of them are meh, a lot of them I skipped, but you will not be mad at the story that is being told.

Shelter
The girl, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, in this is far better than I expected her to be since I have no idea who she is, and she is relatively young. I feel for her and for sure think she will become an incredible actress. Honestly, most of the main people do a great job. I mean, Bill Nighy is there
Movies
Black Panther
The Afrofuturism the is both legitimately and figuratively woven into the background culture of Wakanda is outstanding. Their cloaks are shields. The beads are communicators. There is just an overwhelming amount of outstanding design and thought that you can easily miss how smartly it was done
Movies
The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift
The racing is cool. I very much makes me think of Need for Speed Carbon and I loved that game when it came out. I just realized they came out the same year. That is cool. Either way, the movie gives a very 2000s vibe and just makes you want to race which I think is part of what they wanted
Movies
Thor Ragnarok
This was my first experience with Taika Waititi and it was funny. I thought it was really well told story about redemption and really finding out who you are inside. I think that is something that the whole of Marvel Phase 3 really works on is pushing this idea that we are more than our name.
Movies
Spider-Man: Homecoming
It is a movie that just keeps on giving. The action and slapstick comedy works so well with the Friendly vibe. I must applaud Tom Holland for the shape they got in, and his American accent. His chemistry with MJ and Ned is so good. I mean it makes sense he and Zendaya are in a great relationship.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
He could leap buildings in a single bound. However, in each comic they gave him new powers to fight the new villains. With the Infinity Stones being the major premise of these phases, you have to tame the people who can wield them. So this entire movie is to take away that power from him.
Movies
War Machine
This type of unlimited firing without reloading is a major no-no. This isn't [[Heat]] from the 80s. We can just fire until the Second Coming. This is nothing compared to the absolutely lazy writing in initially calling Alan's character a Staff Sergeant during INDOC and then a Corporal at the end.
Movies
2 Fast 2 Furious
The Skyline is by far the best car in this movie, and I am so sad that it plays such a limited part in this movie. The scene where all the cars push out of the garage is fascinating. Kind of stupid, but fascinating. The acting is still just a push. You can see it getting better, but it isn't great
Movies
Doctor Strange
I think part of it might be Chiwetel Ejiofor's character constantly talking about everything going on off screen and the "battle for your life" every couple of seconds. I just never liked his character. Plus the super white bald Sorcerer Supreme is an odd choice
Movies
Captain America Civil War
Another banger from the Russo brothers, and another outstanding Captain America movie. This is my favorite of one. We get a great bad guy, Zemo, who really makes a lot of sense for a dude who lost everything from a city being dropped down. Then you get to meet the Black Panther.
Movies
The Fast and Furious
in John Wick Chapter 2 or John Wick Chapter 3 we did get good motorcycle combat. Why do I bring those movies up for a movie that was made 20 years prior? Because they guys in that movie were stunt coordinators on other films at that time and people said that the realism wouldn't sell tickets…
