The Watcher in the Shadows
An at times terrifying and macabre tale with nuanced and likeable characterisation and a great, descriptive writing style. At once both a book that aims too low in its intended target audience and wildly overshoots it.

Interesting Western with good characters, a competent plot and some very off formatting choices and narrative gimmicks. Distinctly meh.
A solid entry to the Baker Street archives and a very enjoyable mystery.
An interesting-enough overview of all the things that being "American" can mean, though ultimately the format (and time) was clearly too restrictive and the writing lacks the level of intellectual introspection that makes Fry so much fun. Decent, but hardly essential, and very cursory in places.
A film all kids need to watch and which most adults would benefit from as well. Beautiful story crafting and brilliant characters.Β An instant classic.
Terrible, character blind and very poorly conceived. Actively undoes the message (and characters) of the first film.
Still a brilliant story with a moral underpinning that remains incredibly relevant. A children's classic that is well enough made to be enjoyable for anyone.
A brilliant and deeply personal introspection of an incredible individual. A truly nuanced and exacting character analysis and a documentary style which I hope to see emulated much more in the future.
A brilliant introduction to the Green Lantern franchise; a near-perfect anthology of critical moments in the development of the series and lore.
A solid (false-) start to the soft reboot of the Green Lantern Corps and everything that comes with it.
A surprisingly complex take on the Silver Age of superheroes with a new cast of characters, very much in their heyday yet dealing with some pretty major issues. Think Watchmen meets Justice League, only set in the 50s.
Clearly a script rejected by every other major action franchise with a completely out of place Cambridge academic forced into the titular role. Makes no sense, has no fun, isn't worth any of your time.
