Snowpiercer

Tilda Swinton understood this was a series of high-concept set pieces. No one else in the film did.

Doctor Who: Season 23

That's the end of classic Doctor Who for me. That is, until Netflix decides to finally make the remainder available...

Mad Men: Season 7, Part 1

The drama of the series can be truly annoying, but then we get the last 3 minutes of this half-season.

Star Trek: Voyager: Season 4

Although the actor behind 7-of-9 must have been chosen for the young male demographic, it is fascinating that the writers did not abandon her.

The Fault in Our Stars

Better than most in the dying-of-cancer genre, although the plot "twist" is beyond obvious.

Lorenzo's Oil

Not sure how I missed this one the first time around. The best thing? The sound design.

Muppets Most Wanted

As they say in the film, "the sequel's never quite as good."

Jodorowsky's Dune

I don't believe Giger wouldn't have been discovered, but I greatly admire this wacky visionary nonetheless.
