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.

As with many bands, I don’t care about the band as much as the singer. In this case, it’s Rebecca Need-Menear.

A bad guy blackmails the good guys because he likes this one good girl.
My impression from the first few episodes was:
Seems “ok”. Unless this has a more interesting story-arc, I won’t consider this particularly good. The predictable and episodic nature of television bores the shit out of me. It makes a series only valuable only the course of multiple episodes and individual episodes become the shit I have to slog through.
My later impression, from the end of the second season:
Characters were slow and stiff until they were developed more fully. When they were, a broader story arc took hold, making this show quite a bit more interesting.
My final impression:
It gets repetitive and annoying.
Avoid cliffhangers: Watch more when it’s part way into the next season.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.
I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.

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.

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)

https://www.uphe.com/movies/dragonheart-3-the-sorcerers-curse
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.
Properly titled Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer’s Curse

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.
Based on the anime Blood: The Last Vampire (2000). Other media exist based on that anime:
See also Buffy the Vampire Slayer – (1997 show) for a similar slayer concept.
