Shaolin Soccer
Stephen Chow
“Very little soccer, but lots of laughs”
Gears of War
Epic Games
“This wasn’t a “Halo killer” but it did exist in the same place: The bare confines of bachelor pads in college. We played the campaign together late into the night. This game with a tight game play loop and fun controls.”
Les Chants de l’aurore
Alcest
“Alcest continues pushing a genre normally known for tending toward gloom and melancholy into triumphant and joyous territory. This album is one of a kind, and a beautiful summation of Neige's work to this point.”
Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
“An album from a time when Tumblr still ruled the internet and Instagram was strictly for photography. I find it funny they tried to make the most pop sounding song possible and became their greatest hit”
Party Rock
LMFAO
“Looking beyond the cringe, some of these songs aged really nicely and are fun to listen to”
MTV Unplugged
Alice in Chains
“Second greatest unplugged album of all time”
Unplugged
Eric Clapton

“There's no crying in baseball!”
Lee Cronin's The Mummy
Lee Cronin
“It was a bit of a rollercoaster, some parts I loved, some I hated. Overall it was alright.”
Weapons
Zach Cregger
“Well directed and acted. Not what I expected despite the memes spoiling parts for me. A lot of movies are filmed in Georgia but I’m not sure the peach state looked better. Also I laughed out loud at the climatic scene. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I’m just saying that’s what I did.”
Hamnet
Chloé Zhao
“Family downer based on Shakespeare’s inspiration for hamlet”
The Game
David Fincher

“Alien Bill Clinton as the president will always be funny to me”
Incantation
Kevin Ko
“Intriguing Taiwanese horror movie on Buddhist folklore”
Jet Set Radio Future
Smilebit
“Hidden treasure bundled with the original Xbox”
Practical Magic 2
Susanne Bier
“Just a contrived retelling of the first movie with copy/paste plot points and character arcs. A nostalgia bomb pandering to your witchy Pinterest boards.”
Practical Magic 2
Susanne Bier
“How does Sandra Bullock look so good in her 60s? Plastical Magic?”
The Big Short
Adam McKay
“Most entertaining way to explain the housing market crash”
Samurai
Lupe Fiasco
“Definitely Nujabes inspired”
Reborn
Kavinsky
“Zenith is a good sequel to nightcall”
Where All Light Tends to Go
David Joy
“Read this a couple years ago. It was a really engaging coming of age story with elements of country-noir and has really heavy emotional notes. It was a book that started me on a path of reading more and more often.”
