Saint Jack by Paul Theroux (1973)

After my glowing review of the movie version of this book I of course set out to read the inspiration, and, now that I've read it, I will say that while it's a great book, its inconsistent tone makes this one of those few situations when the movie adaptation is clearly superior.

Soul (2020)

there's a lot to unpack here; this struck me as a unique and very psychedelic story, which I appreciated (and of course as a pixar feature it's very entertaining!), but I'm not sure if I trust (trust in a "keep your hands off my brain" kind of sense) the underlying metaphysical assumptions the narrative's plot implied.

Lucy (2014)

By Leli
Lucy is about doing a lot of drugs and becoming the singularity; watching it feels like doing it and doing it is what gets it done, so don't skip this late luc besson classic - and also don't mind the haters; they just don't understand his genius.
