Movies:
I really don't get around to watching anything that isn't a documentary about the next global crisis we've gotten ourselves into. But Transformers was pretty cool, and I'll always be a fan of Alien and the Matrix.
Television:
Planet Earth in Blu-Ray 1080p goodness is the best thing I've ever seen on a screen - hands down, The History Channel, NOVA, Discovery HD. Battlestar Galactica and Weeds are two new favorites.

How We Live, How We Die, The Holographic Universe, The Omnivore's Dilemma, Various car rags (not books, but they might as well be for me), medical textbooks and journals.
Heroes:
