Given a YouTube or Vimeo URL, downloads the underlying video file, with a sensible file name. It downloads the highest resolution version of the video available: first it tries HD MP4, then regular MP4, then WebM, and finally FLV. It also works on playlists, and works as a bookmarklet to download the video you’re watching.
I liked it well enough.

A malware scanner.
Mostly-meh.
- Their portable scanner is still just an installer.

It found an Wajam plugin from Magic Camera, presumably installed for either Internet Explorer or Edge.
- During scanning, it claims to have found infected files, but those files were neither reported at the end of its scan nor found in its quarantine. What gives?

I have no idea what’s going on with this, but after nearly a half an hour I’m just going to give up.

A non-superhero girl is out for revenge, boring the audience to tears.
It has Samuel, but not enough of him to make this a watchable film.

Everything has gone to shit, and though the moon has a colony which is at war with the survivors still on Earth, they don’t bombard it from space to win.
Too low-budget for me to bother with.
