Aliens (1986)
Movies | Sci-Fi, Horror, Action
No more barely-seen horror of Alien. James Cameron’s sequel brings a relentless army that drains resolve and weapons as the odds rise. A really excellent action horror movie!
Alien - Romulus (2024)
Movies | Sci-Fi, Action, Horror
Finally, a good movie in the Alien franchise! I found this to be a really good surprise that brings and builds the dread and horror in some amazing moments, but the main small weakness is the lost opportunity by messing up few key moments by characters.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
Movies | Action
Alien: Prometheus (2012)
Movies | Horror
Some really great moments, especially near the end. A good movie in the Alien franchise. But it felt more CGI-heavy, losing the charm or scar of the Alien universe.
Alien (1979)
Movies | Sci-Fi, Horror
A perfect space horror movie about something you don’t even see often or clearly. Some may find it slow at first. But it does not let go for even a moment once it hooks you.
Prey (2022)
Movies | Action, Horror
Set in 1719 with an excellent heroine in the form of Naru, a Comanche hunter, who is looking to prove herself. Built around patience instead of firepower. Brings back the magic of the original 1987 movie but in its own way!
Predator (1987)
Movies | Action, Horror
The movie drops an elite rescue squad in a gorgeous rainforest where you watch them dominate and try to survive. Full of great moments from a cast and crew you can feel working hard in a harsh environment, making smart choices despite tough challenges. Not hard to see why it has become a legend.

The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker

The Argumentative Indian by Amartya Sen

I’m eager to explore how Amartya Sen traces India's roots of pluralism, democracy and public debate to understand how diverse societies progress through dialogue.
Grand Transitions by Vaclav Smil
Books | Science, History
Where 'How to Feed the World' focuses on one survival pillar, this book by Vaclav Smil zooms out to energy and economics. I want to read this demanding book to better understand the macro-systems driving human progress.
