A crew on route to a space station learns that it’s crippled by a meteor storm.

It’s 1990s quality. Seeing as it’s a TV movie, that’s not surprising. Overall it’s fair, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

aka Black Horizon
There is the occasional unsubtitled Russian language bit, but they are meant to be unobtrusive.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow
Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

Receiving a signal from her now-dead foster-parent race, Samus Aran investigates.

There is no plot. It’s confusing and ugly. Do not watch this.

People abandon Earth to flee to Mars, and a ship of three are sent with supplies to aid in recolonization.

I couldn’t get 20 minutes in because of the acting.

Oh the teeth on that woman (Dawn).
“Lab apple” wouldn’t be much of a concept for people born 330 years after Mars colonization.
How come Dawn and dude could be arguing and other woman wouldn’t come in then, but came in when she hallucinated.
The acting seems sub-par to me.
Oh gods the flashback type stuff annoys me.
With three people, this is pretty bland.
Hmm, waiting until 30, that sounds a lot like other population or resource-constraint movies that send people away.
Just how big is the ship? For three people, she sure has a lot of space.
Why would a few days be fucking people over like that? I bet it’s because they’re 30.

Okay, I’m going to stop now.. the acting is just too bad.

Demons who feed on suffering suffer a terrible plague that threatens to starve them to death.

A unique world, great makeup/appliances and plot make this particularly interesting. I’ve heard this called noir-esque, and it really does have a style that’s similar to other movies I’ve seen. Recommended!
