Apollo 11
Critical Score: 85
Very interesting to see how they did it. Neil Armstrong walks on the moon.
Alone on the Wall
Critical Score: 95
Authors: Alex Hannold and David Roberts
Alex Hannold is totally rad.
Deep Work
Critical Score: 85
Author: Cal Newport
Some great ideas in here. Deep Work is worth owning to re-read once per year.
Rise
Critical Score: 85
Author: Paige VanZant
Heavy in parts and inspirational.
Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse
Critical Score: 80
Starring: Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Nicolas Cage
Pretty cool animated movie. Love the munchies scenes with Spider-Gwen.
Bad Blood
Critical Score: 95
Author: John Carreyrou
Investigative journalism at its best.
The Favourite
Critical Score: 85
Starring: Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Olivia Colman
Director: Giorgos Lanthimos
A surprisingly dark comedy. Emma Stone is the bomb.
Border
Critical Score: 65
Starring: Eva Melander, Eero Milonoff
Director: Ali Abbasi
Border is just too weird. I watched the whole thing, but it was very strange. It took some interesting turns; acting was very good; basically science fiction. It’s a Swedish movie with English subtitles. The two stars are supposedly “Trolls” or something other than not quite human. Probably would not recommend unless you are Swedish or a fan of one of these two actors, or if you like very different science fiction flicks.
