In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong.

Not bad, and it might have been good in the era it was made in but it’s mediocre now.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.

It’s not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It’s “okay”.

Three movie stars, mistaken for the heroes they portray, are lead to Mexico to protect townsfolk.

Maybe this was good in the context in which it was made, but god damn is it awful now.

An archaeologist seeks an ancient Egyptian amulet to gain godlike powers.

A great fan film. I wish I had a better source than the 240p on YouTube, but I didn’t actually look around at all.

Hitler is pulled into his future, and being able to do nothing but be himself, he is taken to be a comedian.

I know this is meant as a comedy, but.. it’s just off. It’s worth a watch, but just the one. It touches on quite a lot of .. well touchy subjects. Perhaps this movie will greatly improve in time, while things aren’t so sensitive.

A spy does spy stuff, drinks, hits on women and makes a jackass of himself while being surprisingly competent.

A fun, light, series which has a whole lot of laugh-out-loud moments.

  • Though I’ve seen it all, I didn’t begin taking notes until later on.

Doing a search on Twitter for pulls out bill gives too many results to be useful.

The apocalypse happens, and a bunch of average celebrities try to survive.

Moderately terrible. Worth a watch if you like these particular actors and their previous works.

To judge the Earth, aliens grant a single man the power of wishing, but he’s an everyday guy and has no idea how to handle it.

A moderately good movie, with solid comedy throughout it. I only really care about it because of its subject matter and the way it handles it. Strangely, he grants himself wisdom early on but never clues into using it to give him proper understanding of it and how to use it. That’s the major theme of the movie, and the source of its comedy.
