The FBI make an alliance with the mob.

I’m not a particularly big fan of this type of movie, but this one was good. I don’t think it’s worth watching a second time. I got bored most of the way through.

  • Based on Black Mass (2006?) by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill

A maladjusted ex-soldier gets into fighting to repay his debts, and his now-ex-con working-class brother turns to vigilantism when the fighting goes bad.

Decent, but definitely not good enough to watch a second time. Not impactful in the least.

In the past, a dude retells the story of some stuff that happened on some island way over there. Also there are accents and titties.

Maybe I’m not in the mood or my tastes have changed. I thought I’d like this, but I got bored.

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.

Soldiers, separated from their opposing factions, travel with the last techno-druid to their sacred land, hoping for knowledge.

I wanted this to be good, but it’s as though it had all the most boring parts of any random anime, except this was live-action. Not recommended, even for people who might like the concept.

Balloons threaten monkeys, and you coordinate their defence.

I’m big on tower defence games, and this is a very good one.

The Flash version is liked. The Steam version is disliked. Maybe the more adult multiplay on the Steam version would make it worth some money, but not at its price.

How To Kill A Zombie (2014) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

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!

A failure of a delivery boy is frozen for a thousand years, where in the year 3,000 he’s an interstellar delivery boy who continues to fail a lot.

A hilarious and intelligent show, with many subtleties. Watch an episode or three, and if you’re interested then you’ll enjoy the rest. Highly recommended.

I watched a couple of seasons before my interest petered out. I want to do other things with my time.
