The people of Detroit are being forcefully evicted and relocated to a corporate-owned city.
Unless you’re a serious fan, just give this a pass. It doesn’t really build on the franchise and it’s corny.

A new wave of tailor-made drugs sweeps over Detroit, whose even bigger problem is a corporate takeover of the city.
While interesting, it’s not ground-breaking like the first was.

They band together to save the planet from Galactus, a world-consuming alien.
Mediocre.
Properly titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Two orphans become witch hunters.
This is not horror. It’s kindof a light action film. Quite good.
The style is medieval-meets-western. I’ve seen other movies which do this, and I like it quite a lot.
Unnecessarily foul language. It’s jarring.
Great effects, camera work and general atmosphere.
The name and some ideas are taken from Hansel and Gretel in Grimms’ Fairy Tales – (1812 book), by the Grimm brothers

A space-western-esque MMORPG whose most interesting elements are movement in combat and a light/comedic tone. Oh, and player housing for the girls.
Meh. Just meh. I gave this a good shot, but the gameplay and interface are just shit.
I got to level 10. TEN and gave up. It was quite fun until I did a dungeon. I was told to keep playing until I did one, and .. well.. it failed miserably.

A mortally-wounded cop is used as the foundation to build a police robot meant to be a tool for control but whose artificially-repressed memories and inerrant awesomeness surface to save the day.
This was a great movie in the day, and I’d bet I’m biased in saying it’s still great.

I read “post-apocalypse” and took a look.
This is a dirty and confusing film which I couldn’t give much of a chance before moving on. I didn’t get ten minutes in.
Spanish with English subtitles.

A military science experiment haunts local Yugoslavians when the infected turn into madmen.
An amateurish zombie movie with nothing interesting to add to the genre. It’s worth a watch if you’re zombie movies, otherwise don’t bother.
aka 2012: Apocalypse of the Dead

Based on the life of John Forbes Nash, Jr., the nobel prize winning mathematician, this film explores his life, genius and madness.
Media which explore intelligence, its quirks and consequences are (obviously) rarer than the geniuses themselves. That this movie has appealed to a broad audience, helping embrace and enlighten more typical people, is rarer still. This movie is very strongly recommended.
Inspired by A Beautiful Mind (book) (1998), an unauthorized biography of Nash.
The show was cancelled after two seasons, at which time I stopped caring enough that when I learned it had been un-cancelled I continued to not care.

A psychologically-disturbed young man’s fantasies spiral out of control as he pursues a lunatic’s dream for economic anarchy.
Fast and loose. This is one of those shows which tries to cash in on this generation’s theme of general discontent. It generally fails. More-or-less entertaining.
For everyday people this is somewhat recommended. For fans of psychological stuff, and anti-corporatism, this is somewhat recommended. For people who know enough about computers but don’t like psychological stuff or anti-corporatism, I do not recommend this.
Mr. Robot seems to be made as an homage-sequel to Fight Club – (1999 movie).
