Easy A
Honestly the acting is outstanding. Stanley Tucci's dad role is so funny. The joke about the kid NOT being adopted is outstanding. I have seen this movie a few times and laugh every time. It just hit me right in the funny bone.

Black Bag
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.

A Knight's Tale
This is easily one of my favorite movies. I haven't watched it in years, but I was so happy to revisit it. With solid performances, great set design, funny characters, and a plot point being that choices matter no matter where you are from, it is a stellar movie even decades later.
Movies
Twilight
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.
Movies
Good Will Hunting
I have never watched this movie from beginning to end, seeing scenes online or catching part of it when it was on TV. However, now that I have watched it, I can tell that I had seen more than I thought. I can also tell you that those scenes influenced so much of my growing life.
TV
How I Met Your Mother
This show ended a decade ago and while some of the pop culture references are a bit dated, the rest of the show has really held up. The cast is outstanding and after years of working together, it really shows the amount of love and faith they had in each other.
TV
The Big Bang Theory
This is one of my favorite shows that I can watch on repeat as the episodes are individual which for a 30-minute show, that is exactly what you want. You want something that you can jump into and out of.

You People
This movie was funny. Truly funny. Poking fun at everyone as well as showing the immediate defenses people put up when the possibility of racism occurs.

Passengers
I have seen this movie before and it is still a good movie. I mean it has only been 5 years, but it has held up well. As I watch it just for this writing, I really feel it does a good job of portraying a time of events and lostness of being alone.
