Our hero the American is requested to aid a church with a ransom.
A campy movie that’s precisely what you’d expect for a 1980 sword and sorcery movie.

A man tails a racist who goes back in time to arm the slavers in the upcoming American Civil War.
Fair I guess. Not particularly time travel or science fiction, but once it gets into things it’s more of a period piece; not my thing.

A fan edit of Star Wars – The Last Jedi – (2017 movie). It’s actually quite good, though its ending is incomplete.
Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and shit characters and shit writing.
The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.

A bunch of superheroes aren’t so super.
Awesome, but I had to stop watching because I was recommended not to.

A kickass preacher is infected with a power, and for some reason there’s a vampire.
Maybe it has potential, but it’s scatterbrained and kept sliding into slow moody boringness.

A highly-virulent weaponized virus breaks containment and wreaks havoc.
It starts strong then goes downhill into some odd religious stuff. Generally terrible later on. Worth watching if you’re into this genre.

An optics specialist is sent to investigate the unusual readings the military is getting from his equipment.
A solid movie all around. Great action and a good world, but with enough fuzzy science and The A-Team-style jury-rigging to rivet it solidly to TV-movie quality.

A comedy where wannabe-terrorists are too stupid to terrorize properly.
A terrible movie which I couldn’t finish. British humor is already kind of crappy half the time, but this is incredibly weak.
