Two dumbass kids are given a time machine to help with their oral report for history class.

These were simple times, where a movie’s comedy was as light as the effort to make it. A straightforward no-thought movie, perfect for getting drunk and talking funny. Though I recommend it, I fear it is drifting away from its original target ages and may only be good for people old enough to have already seen this.

Continues with Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey – (1991 movie)

A guy, trying to finally pull his life together, has it ruined by a woman who forces him into fatherhood.

Very funny, but ultimately dark as hell.

Properly titled Clerks II
The woman in the poster is in the movie. I assume they photoshopped some cracker onto her.

While the primary fleet is away, fresh-recruits are sent to investigate a distress call from an allied planet.

A reboot and alternate-timeline of the series. It’s “good”, but is also the bubblegum one ought to expect these days.

In a ruined world, the last remaining city is revealed to be populated by clones, the need of which the lead scientist hopes to cure but his brother works to persist.

Overall a decent flick, but with great music that quickly becomes over-the-top with its loud pervasiveness. It starts strong, but its big ending action sequence looks cheesy as all hell. I can tentatively say I like this movie. I have, after all, seen it multiple times. Something in me is saddened somehow, as though this movie should have been better but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m not familiar with its source material, but I expect those who are would have more grounds to find fault with this movie.

Properly titled Æon Flux
Based on the TV series Æon Flux.

A death in Antarctica spurs an investigation that leads to a murder mystery over lost Soviet-era cannisters.

Decent enough to recommend for a watch, but as I’ve seen three times now I can say that it’s a forgettable movie save for Kate Beckensale being hot.

No relation to Wite-Out (correction fluid)

A dragon, having, for unknown reasons, landed as a meteorite but on top of a clutch of eggs and somehow not damaging them, heals a not-knight who risked his life for the eggs but actually to steal them is cursed to become the slave of a druid who is for some reason called a sorcerer.

This is basically a high-quality TV-movie but released for the big screen. It’s not dependent on the other movies in this series, which is probably for the best. It’s not great, not particularly good and only worth a one-time watch for people who are fans of this sort of genre.

This is a prequel to the series, set about 100 years before the first movie.

A king, resurrected with half of a dragon’s heart, rules with an iron fist but is opposed by his former-mentor, a former dragon-slayer now allied with that last dragon who has the remaining half of the king’s heart.

A fine, action-heavy, fantasy. Has a lot of recognizable stars.

Vampires are real, and a secret council, whose formation is never explained, support a good-vampire on her mission to mercilessly slaughter bad-vampires in search for the worst-vampire who she was told killed her father.

For a while I was quite captivated by this movie. It was good in every respect, but it seemed to take a turn for the worse half way through, and just kept sliding. Overall it’s good, but elements of it are too similar to other famous movies for me to really find it interesting, especially since those elements are rushed.

It’s decent enough to recommend for a one-time watch.

Properly titled Blood: The Last Vampire
The opening titles stylize Blood as Bl∞d.
Based on the anime Blood: The Last Vampire (2000). Other media exist based on that anime:
- Blood+
- Blood-C
See also Buffy the Vampire Slayer – (1997 show) for a similar slayer concept.
- .. as well as Angel – (1999 show) and a little of Blade – (1998 movie).

The widow of an underground-resistance fighter falls in love but her life gets complicated when she learns her husband didn’t die.

I can easily see the allure of this movie, and I don’t have complaints, but it doesn’t do it for me. The legacy of this movie remains in all sorts of little quotes that I recognize. I know I must have seen this years ago, and it’s stuck in my head until even now. I don’t regret re-watching this, but it’s not something I’ll watch again.

A non-secret organization learns of an assassination plot against the delegation of a new country, and brings on board the ex-girlfriend of the man in charge to save them.

Good enough to spark my interest in these old cheezy spy movies and shows.

This is the film which was expanded from the pilot episode for the series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. – (1964 show).
Shot in 4:3
