Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
(1980)

THIS is cinema
I think every movie should take some inspiration from this. Its compelling characters, its love arcs, its perfect structure. This film builds on sci-fi like very few others will. Its climax isn't about the end of the world. It's about our main characters in danger. This film will always hold a special place in my heart, and will inspire generations to come.

Star Wars
(1977)

A Masterpiece and the Start of an Amazing Journey
Star Wars is probably the greatest first film in a franchise ever, and it truly stood the test of time. This film not only created the greatest franchise and fantasy universe ever, but it also inspired countless blockbuster hits to come. Every scene builds the story and characters, and the effects are truly breathtaking. This film was the first step in the evolution of modern cinema.

Hot Fuzz
(2007)

The Greatest Comedy-Action Film Ever
This is one of those films that every single scene is either inspiring, horrifying, or just hilarious. The plot is compelling, the characters are well written, and the cinematography is something else. Comedy, action, thriller and movie lovers alike will surely enjoy this masterpiece.

Bølgen
(2015)

Your average disaster movie
This film had pretty good dialogue and cinematography, but it wasn't anything special. Interesting, but probably wouldn't watch again.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
(2018)

One of the modern best westerns ever
A fantastic watch with 6 individual stories. Many shocks and emotions watching this film. Brilliant acting, cinematography and storytelling.

The Office: Casino Night
(2006)
Episode 22, Season 2

The Pinnacle of TV
This episode is everything any show should be. It's hilarious, heartbreaking and wholesome. Not many episodes do I think, "Wow, I'm glad I saw that", but this episode did. A truly perfect season finale, and one of the great milestones of The Office.

Rick and Morty: Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri
(2020)
Episode 10, Season 4

A satisfying finale
Even though I normally dislike shows that base episodes on popular movies, this episode was adapted just enough to make it enjoyable. There were loads of hilarious scenes, and heartbreaking ones. This episode ties with Wedding Squanchers for the best season finale of Rick and Morty.

The Office: Conflict Resolution
(2006)
Episode 21, Season 2

An absolute classic
A great episode with hilarious scenes and good character building. One of season 2's best. Fits well with the last episode

The Office: Drug Testing
(2006)
Episode 20, Season 2

Dwight Schrute: Volunteer Sheriff's Deputy
A hilarious episode focusing on Dwight and his character. We see how his relationship with Michael effects him and a funny line from almost every character.

The Office: Michael's Birthday
(2006)
Episode 19, Season 2

"So that was probably my worst birthday."
A pretty good episode focusing on Michael and a good cold open. Kevin's b-plot fits nicely together with the main plot. Also starts the arc with Michael and Carol

The Office: Take Your Daughter to Work Day
(2006)
Episode 18, Season 2

Wholesome
A really feel-good episode. We look really deep into Michael's character, and learn a bit more about almost all of the characters.

The Office: Dwight's Speech
(2006)
Episode 17, Season 2

Dwight's moment.
This is Dwight's highlight scene of season 2. We see that he is a strong leader and a good friend. The B-plot with Pam's wedding is slightly forgettable and is overshadowed, but it still is an enjoyable episode.

The Office: Valentine's Day
(2006)
Episode 16, Season 2

"It's me. I'm the bobble head"
2 pretty good plots: the office's Valentine's Day and Michael in New York. Some funny scenes with Michael, but not a memorable episode.

The Office: The Carpet
(2006)
Episode 14, Season 2

Immature
An episode is supposed to build upon an interesting premise. This episodes premise is kind of foolish and unoriginal. Although some of the scenes throughout the episode are hysterical, I just don't like the plot. Pretty good b-plot with Jim and Pam, though.

The Office: Boys and Girls
(2006)
Episode 15, Season 2

"Because I am collar blind"
A pretty good episode with some funny moments and good arcs. Particularly good character building for Pam, and it's nice to see more of the warehouse characters, and Michael's relationship with them.

The Office: The Secret
(2006)
Episode 13, Season 2

Not a favourite.
I'm not a huge fan of this episode. I see how it is a nice addition to the episode 'Booze Cruise', but it just seems unnecessary. It does build on Michael and Jim's characters, and it does add to the Jim and Pam love story, but it's just really forgettable.

Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood
(2019)

A slow start but a great ending
For the first hour or so, it is hard to distinguish what the plot of the movie really is. It seemed like a jumble of different scenes, with no real connection. I'm the middle of the film, we had some really good acting from DiCaprio, and a plot awakened, And in the last 40 mins, it was pure cinema. Brilliant cinematography and acting. If the film was consistent, it would likely have been one of the best films of the year for me.

Rick and Morty: Childrick of Mort
(2020)
Episode 9, Season 4

A good episode
This episode wasn't anything special, but there weren't really any flaws. It wasn't really funny, but it had decent structure and some good scenes.

The Office: The Injury
(2006)
Episode 12, Season 2

By FAR the best episode yet.
This is the pinnacle of a comedy sitcom episode. No b-plots, no added drama. Michael has burnt his foot, and Dwight got a concussion on his way to pick him up, and that's it. Instead of adding new comedy plots to an episode, it builds on one hilarious one.

The Office: Booze Cruise
(2006)
Episode 11, Season 2

"Never, ever, ever give up."
A classic episode. Good a-plot with Michael (whilst being quite cringe-worthy), and brilliant b-plot with Jim and Pam. This episode takes the next step on our office story.

The Office: Christmas Party
(2005)
Episode 10, Season 2

On of the Best Christmas Episode From a Sitcom
A highlight from season 2. Hilarious scenes from every episode. Great b-plot with Jim and Pam and the best Christmas episode on the show.

The Office: E-Mail Surveillance
(2005)
Episode 9, Season 2

"Detective Michael Scarn!"
In this episode tells us more about Michael as a character. We see that Michael really doesn't have friends outside the office, and that his need to be liked is all he really wants. Also one of the most 'unique' cold opens. A classic episode.

The Office: Performance Review
(2005)
Episode 8, Season 2

Not memorable
This episode has an interesting premise and the suggestion box scene is gold, but it's just a follow up from the previous episode and it is quite forgettable

The Office: The Client
(2005)
Episode 7, Season 2

The Story Arcs are Opening
Engaging more in the Jim-and-Pam arc and starting the Michael-And-Jan storyline. A classic episode with a great main plot and b-plot.

The Office: The Fight
(2005)
Episode 6, Season 2

"I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."
A classic episode. Hilarious main plot between Michael and Dwight. Although I understand how it changes their character, I didn't particularly like the Jim-And-Pam b-plot. But overall a good episode.
