It is cliche but true to say that time flies, but after twenty-five years The Matrix still translates with the test of time, The technology (CG) that was seen as cutting edge back in 1999 still works for this viewer as if I first seen the movie back in the day. And in spite of Carrie Anne Moss's very dry and wooden acting job, the rest of the movie's cast does not cause the movie to come to a grinding halt which made and makes The Matrix an enjoyable viewing experience. Lastly, the existential messaging of what is reality versus what may not is universal and should cause one to think and that is the greatest form of respect given to the viewer.

The series Luther is top notch from its headliner, Idris Elba to the supporting cast. The onscreen chemistry and magnetism that he and Ruth Wilson has created makes them of the most iconic and memorable couples (although very untraditional) in the history of the small screen. It would be easy to pigeonhole, Luther as a complicated character who blurs or flat out crosses the lines in order to "get his man", but in reality he is fighting the losing battle of self loathing in spite of the fact that his work and his personhood is making the world a better and a safer place to reside. A loner who has coworkers and superiors looking to undermine and misunderstand his methods and motives makes Luther to a vulnerable and likable character. At the end we see a character looking to find solace from within despite his darkness, frailties and failures and acceptance from others.
