Her (2013)
A deep exploration into the nature of consciousness, relationships and love; both Human and AI. Profound existential, ethical and philosophical questions raised, lighting the mind on fire as the movie gently plays in the background of your experience.

Barbie
A movie by women, for women. It's not anti-men; it's pointing out how gender inequality hurts everyone. It's not preachy, it's giving a voice to gender-based double-standards and stereotypes.

Music
I'd love more Autistic-centered movies. Just not like this one. A badly-researched, poorly-executed sensory nightmare, Sia claimed "Music" was Autism-centered for Activist!Points, when it was actually full of racist&ableist stereotypes.

The Warriors
Without question the best, nearly perfect video games I've ever played. For a game that was released before individual fingers were rendered, this is game is nearly perfect. A great way to expand on and honor the original source material. My only critique, this game should've way been more open-world.

Bohemian Rhapsody
I was never a great fan of Queen, mainly due to my homophobic dislike of their camp image. Then I heard this song and I was no longer a homophobe. This lushly produced, multi-layered, mock opera cum heavy progressive rock song blew my mind baby. I am a changed man.

Normal People
Against rolling Irish hills and freshly-washed linens, Marianne and Connell touch and love and part and chase and fail. Their minds and bodies are ravenous, their souls and tongues damaged. They leave me wanting more.
