Joan Didion: The Centre Will Not Hold
A brilliant and deeply personal introspection of an incredible individual. A truly nuanced and exacting character analysis and a documentary style which I hope to see emulated much more in the future.

Brilliantly acted and directed, though at times almost too painful to watch (in a good way).
A brilliant introduction to the Green Lantern franchise; a near-perfect anthology of critical moments in the development of the series and lore.
A solid (false-) start to the soft reboot of the Green Lantern Corps and everything that comes with it.
A surprisingly complex take on the Silver Age of superheroes with a new cast of characters, very much in their heyday yet dealing with some pretty major issues. Think Watchmen meets Justice League, only set in the 50s.
Clearly a script rejected by every other major action franchise with a completely out of place Cambridge academic forced into the titular role. Makes no sense, has no fun, isn't worth any of your time.
A nearly perfect adaptation. Where, in this instance, the word nearly means almost entirely, barring only the slightest possible chance of an overlooked error or two.
So much action-packed goodness with a great plot and yet further fantastic performances from the central cast. Frankly, Netflix are beginning to rival their silver screen relatives in terms of deserved hype.
Hilarious, campy and just creepy enough. There are some bad parts but overall a very enjoyable reboot of the franchise. Zuul, grant us a sequel!
An incredible, frustrating, brilliant, terrible, masterpiece of bad acting, awful props, astonishing world-building, and iconic characters. Yes, much like its central time travel mechanic, Doctor Who is best considered a paradox: at once perfect and yet banal, riveting and yet baffling. Just sit back and enjoy one of the greats of classic-modern sci-fi.
Feisty fun but definitely beginning to show its age.
Definitely mediocre but fun enough with some decent acting, interesting world-building and beautiful effects/sets.
