Inside Man
The acting is great though. Outside the writing, I feel the cast dove into their characters and it was really good to see. There isn't anyone that I feel cheated the role or anything else. They all are dedicated to it.
Mystery

Don't Worry Darling
It is not often that I don't see the twist coming, but damn was I wrong, kind of, about the ending of this movie. They story itself is wildly incoherent at times, but it is intentional once you see the end. I think in general the story itself is a little confusing even at the end.
TV
Presumed Innocent
The show is good. It tells a good story with suspense, and it is really well written. The acting team is superb. The kids do well with there acting and are super believable. They play a great role and give some additional depth to the story that I think played a big part in me enjoying the show.
TV
MythBusters
"MythBusters is a Trojan Horse of reason, hiding behind a thin veil of explosives." "Sciencebait rather than jailbait." This is a super entertaining show, just don't binge-watch it.
Movies
Blade Runner 2049
The shots in this movie are awesome. From the desert storms, the big cities, the San Diego trash sites, and to the giant digital display of Joii is just so good. This is a masterclass of blending CGI with practical effects.
Movies
Blade Runner
My major complain for a similar movie, Alien was that the quiet pieces were just too quiet. This movie doesn't have that issue. The music feels and adds so much to this movie that I am 90% sure it fueled music for games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Movies
Prisoners
The story is excellent and while I had a feeling about how it was going to end, I was thrown through the loop and had to second guess the ending. It is so well written with no real sign post that I loved. This is another of Denis Villeneuve fantastic movies.
Movies
The Lincoln Lawyer Movie
The story is very well constructed. You get a really nice presentation of the main players and the side elements that play a role. I typically do not appreciate some of the side elements that are thrown in just cause, but there isn't a single one that doesn't pay off.
Movies
Glass Onion
The setting is also really cool. I mean who doesn't love seeing what a billionaire with a more money than they know what to do with does with a house. I mean Edward Norton has a Porsche just sitting on his roof, because "There is no where to drive it on the island." Yeah that makes sense.
Movies
The Nun
As for the story, its simple. Nothing crazy, no hard twist or turns if you think about it or have watched the others in the movies in the series. It isn't really anything to write home about, but I do appreciate the inclusion of the Knights Templar.
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.
Movies
Leave the World Behind
Ok I finished the movie and they are all way wrong so much so that even tell you that isn't spoiling the plot at all. The biggest reason they are wrong is because the movie finishes half way though. A "One sentence review" = "A cyber/dystopian Swiss Cheese that sprinkles in steroid injected animals"
