Anime, descending order of quality:

• Hellsing Ultimate (review)
• Wolf Children (review)
• From Up on Poppy Hill (review)
• Hotarubi no Mori e (cute one-shot with predictable twist ending, no real reason for anyone to watch it)

Movies:

• Prince Avalanche: beautiful visuals of a burnt but recovering nature, pretty good OST by Explosions in the Sky, story was kinda an awkward buddy flick which felt almost deliberately dumb. Recommended as nature/scenery porn.
• The Princess Bride: fun and enjoyable, and now I will understand references to it.
• Mediastan: sort of an awkward exploration of Wikileaks trying to find people to write articles on its cables.

Anime: Shin Sekai Yori is essentially several layers of unintended consequences placed into a puzzling world. It has three arcs following Saki Watanabe's early life in a society with psychokinesis, lots of hidden rules, and somewhat questionable morality.

A subtly wrong word ends up being very important.

So, Thor: The Dark World, transhumanism and violently incompatible value systems.
