Third Times the Charm:Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
Guardians of the Galaxy three puts my assumtions on a rocket and sends them into outter space! It details my favorite rabbit's, or rather now clearly raccoon's, origins. He finds family and understanding in the face of utopian delusions and hate.

Idiocracy
Set in what is now a more realistic than ever future. Depictions of failed society in ever growing distractions. Capitalizing in the failure to hold tangible intelligence.

Lord of the Rings
The mesmerising landscapes of New Zealand provide the only solace for enduring this lengthy saga. Emotionally unstable man with sword tries to thwart group of little people searching for a ring. Or disposing of a ring? Something about a ring.

Primer (2004)
If you want a hard-science, very grounded and jargon-heavy take on time travel, watch Primer. It avoids many of the fantastical tropes associated with the genre, instead focusing on the moral questions and implications time travel raises and creates. Definitely a film that requires a number of rewatches to understand.

Aliens: A Critique
Ripley’s second round with the xenomorph has it all! ACTION PACKED! Badass colonial marines, cute kid, weird robot guy. And of course monsters, more monsters. Bigger and badder. Ripley in Caterpillar Power Loader exoskeleton machine fights massive alien queen. Best sequel ever made. Dare I say, better than the original?

So immersive that people quite literally had to seek psychiatric help to cope with the knowledge that there is no Pandora for us to escape to.

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1997)
Forget the forever overhyped Office Space. This is the one Mike Judge movie you need to see. Beavis and Butt-Head literally do America in this farce that sees Demi Moore and Bruce Willis deliver some of the strongest work of their acting careers. This was definitely overlooked by the Academy.

Lord of the Rings (Critique). Top Story - August 2023.
Movies: decent adaptation, wonderfully cast. A lot of detail cut to make these books fit to the screen, and yet characters gaze meaningfully for minutes on end. At least I finished them.

The Unlit Mermaid
Someone wake up Xavier Bardem and get him an espresso. Several espressos. Somebody, anybody, turn the lights on. Not awful, except for Xavier Bardem and everything Lin Manuel added. A dutifully formulaic film, the Mermaid charms, the Prince bores, the crab annoys. Try reading the Hans Christian Anderson version.
