Um, Actually

The nerdiest game show ever, and I love it – great guests, perfect hosts, and a formulae that just keeps getting better.

Legally Blonde

Feeling a little dated, but still a fun (and funny) movie with an incredibly strong aesthetic.

The Sandman

A wonderfully crafted fantasy world with a stellar cast and some fascinating ideas.

Battlefield 1

A light offering, but what it does provide is exceptionally good – until you get stuck in the mud.

The Gentlemen

Everything you'd want it to be and then some: funny, intelligent, suspenseful, and downright brilliant.

The Anthropocene Reviewed

An engaging, heartfelt, and often funny collection of essays on an incredibly broad range of topics, even if it can be a little formulaic.

The Jagged Orbit

An eccentric novel with a steep learning curve, but if you can push through, the eccentricities pay off and the plot reveals some intriguing ideas.

A Buzz in the Meadow

A disjointed yet intriguing collection of anecdotes from the academic side of conservation and environmental research.

The Hunt for Gollum

An amateur yet heartfelt and true expansion of the epic tale, with some surprisingly solid practical effects.

Dune: Part Two

A masterclass in narrative, action, and – in particular – design. 

The Scapegoat

A tightly woven tale wrapped around some excellent character work that help sell the otherwise outlandish central premise.

Mr. Right

Chaotic neutral in film form, which makes it very hard to pin down.
