Tired of lax justice, two brothers become particularly effective vigilantes against the criminal element in their greater area.
I don’t know what to say about this movie. It’s fantastic. Good characters, a good story and with a good flow to it.
TODO – A two-part comic book story, serving as a companion to the movie sequel, was released in May 2010.

Aliens are sending spores to colonize Earth, but when humans send a retaliatory force to their homeworld they learn the bugs are a far more dangerous foe than anticipated.
It’s a largely flawless movie. Amazing fun for what it is, which is the sort of military movie where only one soldier runs out of ammo once in the entire movie.
Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein
TODO – take better notes when I next re-watch this.

A very good movie, notable for its unique handling of issues in time travelling.

A pair of scientists learn they can push electrons back in time and can send emails.
Calm, enthralling, and deeply moving. This movie does all the right things with science fiction and time travel. It keeps the core values of the characters, lets things make just enough sense to have the audience both engaged, confused and planning ahead, and has a romantic streak to it.
Highly recommended!
This movie is entirely in the Dutch language.

A young, broken, man, enters an underground community of computer crackers, trying desperately to prove himself but with consequences.
An extremely good movie. While not quite mandatory, it’s definitely a proper advancement of the “hacker kid” movies that have sullied past movies. Highly recommended, even for people that “know their stuff”, as it doesn’t lay on the techno-babble which describes everything painfully wrong. Instead, it takes a reasonable middle ground, staying away from pop culture and fairly-firmly on the social side of storytelling.

A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.
I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.
This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A zombie-survival first person shooter that I played the hell out of until late-2015. It still had a very active player base.

A guy goes mad and has visions, except they’re real people.
Decent, with occasional awesomeness between cringeworthy moments of “let’s see if we can put this shit in a show”. Oh, and it’s no wonder, it’s from “The Wachowskis”. I’m just going to let this die.

(on Wikipedia) (Summarizing it would spoil it.) Adorable and heartbreaking, this was one of the first if not the first short film which got me interested in this sub-genre.
Entertainment > Movies > https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2333508/ A princess, being chased by orcs and to be a sacrifice, passes through a gate into our world but the orcs follow her. If this movie could be considered a B-movie, it is extraordinary. It’s well-written and well-acted, and unlike Orcs! – (2011 movie) there is no comedy and I have no feeling that there is need or room for any. I easily consider this a low-budget A-movie. It was good. Very good. Not surprisingly good, actually good. I don’t know how strongly I can or should recommend this. My heart melts for Aleya, so I’m pretty sure I’m biased.
