Iron Man is a prick, dooming the world unless The Avengers can save it.

Another comic book movie. Meh. I’m sure it made money, but it makes no contributions to anything whatsoever. Recommended for pop comic book movie fans.

  • Properly titled Avengers: Age of Ultron

Facing hard times, The Ghostbusters are called back into action when the city’s mood dips deep into anger.

Definitely not as good as Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), but an adequate film nonetheless.

  • Properly titled Ghostbusters II.

The survivors of an alien attack struggle to stay alive aboard their research vessel, and learn its true purpose.

Perhaps because Alien 3 – (1992 movie) wasn’t as amazing as the first two, Alien: Resurrection wasn’t that impactful. I think it was a cop-out of an odd reboot.

TODO – Crime and stuff.

After seeing Black Mass – (2015 movie) I’m reminded to put this into the growing catalogue. I’ll have to come back and re-watch it to add any real notes. Though I’ve seen this, it isn’t in my collection and I don’t expect to see it again any time soon.

Being ancient and good, this movie has become the standard for a “certain type” of movie. It got there first, so it set the bar. One which arguably hasn’t been reached by other movies.

A lawyer becomes entangled in intelligence when he accepts a defense case for a Soviet spy.

I’m not sure what to say about this movie. It’s quite good. I like historical intelligence movies.

Stephen-Fry - More Fool Me (2014) cover 2

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4701426/

This is Stephen speaking on stage and then reading from his book, and not (really) a standup routine.

I like him, and this was enjoyable but not recommended unless a person already knows a bit of him. He is very personable and accessible to me.

How To Kill A Zombie (2014) poster

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3694988/

An experiment intentionally infects a local town, and a survivalist and his son fight to escape the horde.

A playful zombie movie. One of the main characters is a terrible over-actor, but if you like this genre of movie, this one is pretty good.

A world broken by plague sends a team back in time to prevent the virus from spreading.

It’s better than a B-movie but definitely not A-quality. I would class this as a good TV-movie. Worth a watch if you’re into science fiction.

  • In the year 2204

Fire City - End of Days (2015) poster

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!
