A girl, engineered to be a killer, flees her keepers, but as a woman she pursues general vigilante justice by helping a crime-fighting genius.

This series hits the ground running, featuring not just a stupifyingly hot Jessica Alba, but a great world, plot and everything else.

However, like too many series’, Dark Angel suicide-bombs like it’s been lit on fire and is heading for a volcano to end it’s suffering. Not only is the second season bad enough to end the show, it’s bad enough to not watch, even and especially for people who like the first.

When a family goes on Christmas vacation, their eight year old discovers he is both left behind and being burgled.

It’s adequate at best; I guess I can recommend it.

A veteran mercenary is double-crossed and finds himself blacklisted into becoming a general in hell’s army.

This is a very high low-budget movie. It’s over-the-top, corny but only almost-fun. Some of the effects are amazing, but some are so damned bad I can’t imagine how they thought this could be anything more than a middling success. From a writing perspective, it’s not bad moment-to-moment, but the overall plot is a bit stupid.

This has nothing going for it but the incredible acting of a clown.

A handful of Nazi scientists have toiled in secret to find and use a ring kept by some Americans in Egypt which they believe leads to an advanced civilization.

A rehash of other ideas done in a somewhat more amateur way, with a cheap ending as a prequel to either the original movie or series. Interesting to watch if you’re a fan of the franchise but absolutely skippable if you’re not.

A high school girl’s reality breaks down.

A fucking awful mess of a storyline that teases just enough sense to stay mostly interesting.

A boy that’s beaten up a lot decides that murder is both the best revenge and career. Wait, it’s about the man though. Well there’s narration so don’t worry he’s never in any danger.

Kinda funny and kinda interesting sometimes, but god damn does it drag on; it could have been done much better, and done better quite easily too.

Kung Fury travels through time to fight the forces of Kung Führer.

A fantastic action-comedy, most especially for people who grew up in the 1980s.

Bad Guys want to blow up a shithole to make money in rebuilding.

It’s okay I guess, but the writing is off and it’s frequently a tired revisitation of the earlier movie.

  • Trailer
  • Properly titled District 13꞉ Ultimatum
  • Original title: Banlieue 13: Ultimatum

A man wakes, reconstructed as a cyborg, and finds himself hunted by unknown forces.

A fucking astonishingly great movie! Fast, bloody and fun. It’s effortlessly hilarious, and without being a comedy.

I was initially rather annoyed at the found footage-style shaky camera, but it got so intuitive so fast that it really helped me get into the character and movie. If you like bloody non-stop action movies, definitely give this movie a chance.
