Item	Type	Year	Rating	Note
No Other Choice Park Chan-wook	Movie	2025	★★★★★	A slow burn dark comedy with some whacky twists and turns. But it's from the Old Boy director so you know it ratchets up to some hellish and hilarious moments.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die Gore Verbinski	Movie	2026	★★★★★	This is an action comedy that almost defies description. Suffice to say: if you enjoy dark humor and want a fun action movie you cannot go wrong with this one.
Bugonia Yorgos Lanthimos	Movie	2025	★★★★★	Brilliant acting, dark humor, and one heck of an arc that I cannot recommend enough.
Coyote vs. Acme Dave Green	Movie	2026	★★★★★	A Looney Toons movie with lawyers and valuable life lessons about the abuses of power and the importance of standing up.
Eddington	Movie	2025	★★★★★	How self-interested can we be? Another set of terrifying tales from the twisted mind of Ari Aster that's excellent and unsettling and hopefully far from the truth.
Babylon Damien Chazelle	Movie	2022	★★★★★	A winding tale on the beginnings of studios in Hollywood. From silent movies to talking pictures, you follow the wild journey for insights on what built the entertainment we all know and love.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Weird Al Yankovic	Movie	2022	★★★★★	If you ever enjoyed Weird Al's work, you will likely enjoy this quasi-biography.
The Odyssey Christopher Nolan	Movie	2026	★★★★★	An epic by modern and ancient standards.
Backrooms Kane Parsons	Movie	2026	★★★★★	Like describing a dog to somebody who has never seen one.
Cunk on Life Charlie Brooker	Movie	2025	★★★★★	Faux-shoshin mockumentary. Perfectly executed delivery on asking life's greatest questions.
Tár Todd Field	Movie	2022	★★★★★	A slow-burn drama for anyone who likes calling folks on their bullshit. Cate Blanchett at her most.
