Movies
| Quick review | ||
|---|---|---|
| Oppenheimer 2023 | My #1. My textbook heroes brought to life, the whole crowd of them in one room. | |
| The Matrix 1999 | The first movie I ever saw in a theater. Made programming feel like more than a job. | |
| Vivarium 2019 | Watched it in the middle of a midlife crisis and saw my own life, not a horror movie. | |
| The Social Network 2010 | As a wannabe founder and a programmer, I felt like I was him. | |
| Joker 2019 | Saw it with a friend who was genuinely messed up by the time it ended. | |
| Moneyball 2011 | As someone who works with data, trusting the numbers over gut really landed. | |
| The Founder 2016 | ||
| The Big Short 2015 | ||
| The Wolf of Wall Street 2013 | ||
| Dil Se 1998 | The music is the best part. | |
| Taare Zameen Par 2007 | As a parent, a reminder that every kid learns differently. | |
| 3 Idiots 2009 | Rancho’s “Aal izz well” still makes me smile. | |
| Crash 2004 | ||
| Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2000 | ||
| Life Is Beautiful 1997 | ||
| Pan's Labyrinth 2006 | ||
| Scarface 1983 | ||
| Pulp Fiction 1994 | ||

| The Lion King 1994 | As a parent, Mufasa’s death lands much harder than it did when I was a kid. | |
| Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981 | ||
| Entergalactic 2022 | ||
| Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989 | My favorite of the Indiana Jones movies. Connery and Ford bickering carries it. | |
| Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984 | The darkest one and my least favorite, but the mine cart chase is great. | |
| The Pursuit of Happyness 2006 | Hard to watch as a parent. The subway bathroom scene got to me. | |
| Leaving Las Vegas 1995 | Depressing and real. Cage is a very convincing alcoholic. | |
| The Whale 2022 | You start out disgusted by Charlie and end up rooting for him. | |
| Watcher 2022 | Kept wondering if she was just being paranoid or if there was real danger. | |
| Hunger 2023 | Started strong, then the message turned into: don’t be your best. | |
| Sonic the Hedgehog 3 2024 | Saw it with Ayden. Liked that it works “make good choices” into the script. | |
