After meeting people trying to make it big in Hollywood movies, a criminal weans himself off of his old life to try it for himself.
Maybe it's because I saw it "back in the day", but even after re-watching it I still really like it.
based on Get Shorty - (1990 book), by Elmore Leonard

A reporter goes to a small odd town for one story, but a local murder changes his interests.
Though adequate, I didn't finish it; this isn't my sort of movie.

In a world where everyday people use the internet through total-sensory virtual reality, a specialist intelligence agency tracks down murderers and terrorists.
Slow and confusing, this book isn't just a challenge to read, it's a challenge to read with a straight face. One of the risks of speculative science fiction is that they can get very, very, wrong in their predictions. This book hand-waives people being transported into a magical world with no explanation as to how it's possible or what it's like. It is vague in everything it demands the reader suspend their disbelief in. It is awed at 900 Mhz computers. This is definitely a 1998 book that had way too much hope for its future.
I had a sticker with two, and the book had two.. and none of these are coming up with anything:
This inspired Netforce - (1999 movie)
TODO - Watch the special features, there's a lot.

A cop's early investigation into a police fund theft has him killed, leaving his framed hostage-negotiator partner to use the only tool he has available to find the real killer.
A really great movie with a unique topic. Recommended.
 This poster is more exciting than its movie |

A stupid and deaf guy does stupid things while being deaf.
This was listed as a thriller and isn't even remotely thrilling. It is slow and depressing throughout. I got well past an hour without being thrilled.

A woman is abducted for a mind-control experiment. Hilarity ensues.
This is not "experimental science fiction". This is outright horror.
I think I've seen this before, but blocked it out of my memory.

A woman is pulled back into a life of crime, only to learn that what she helped steal has other interested parties.
A mediocre movie which just feels off and awkward. Definitely not recommended.
Olga Kurylenko is either an absolutely awful actor, or playing an absolutely awful character, or maybe both. Probably both.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.
Not my thing.

Something something narration and murder-mystery.
Great acting, but not a very good story or presentation.. I just didn't like it. I only saw this for Michelle Monaghan, and it was worth it.

Joker Rising on YouTube (full movie)
The birth of a villain, this movie follows the man before the Joker.
A slow and moody film, it manages to be extraordinary.
