A tower defence game with space ships.

Highly customizable and extremely fun, but with poor replayability. Worth a bit of coin if you’re a fan of tower defence games.

I didn’t take notes from back then. All I have are some saved fleets. Some of the game gets extremely hard, especially with technology restrictions. I fucking hate having those restrictions. This was a big downer to playing all the way through.

Bonus points for the author throwing away all sense of storyline. Fuck all that shit, I just want gameplay. I’m not joking.

I never tried its expansion Parasites.

A failure artist finds new muse when his prize mannequin creation comes to life.

A fun and imaginative movie. Easy on the brain. It’s accessible to people who don’t like or want to see a “heavy” romance movie.

The movie was filmed at Boscov‘s department store, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

Evil returns to find Ash.

Playful. It is clearly capitalizing on the success of the franchise, but it’s not really interesting to me, as though it’s stretching out the story ideas. It’s okay, though not especially recommended. I watched a bit of it, but I’d rather do other things with my life.

Iron Man is a prick, dooming the world unless The Avengers can save it.

Another comic book movie. Meh. I’m sure it made money, but it makes no contributions to anything whatsoever. Recommended for pop comic book movie fans.

Properly titled Avengers: Age of Ultron

Facing hard times, The Ghostbusters are called back into action when the city’s mood dips deep into anger.

Definitely not as good as Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), but an adequate film nonetheless.

Properly titled Ghostbusters II.

The survivors of an alien attack struggle to stay alive aboard their research vessel, and learn its true purpose.

Perhaps because Alien 3 – (1992 movie) wasn’t as amazing as the first two, Alien: Resurrection wasn’t that impactful. I think it was a cop-out of an odd reboot.

Properly titled Alien: Resurrection

TODO – Crime and stuff.

After seeing Black Mass – (2015 movie) I’m reminded to put this into the growing catalogue. I’ll have to come back and re-watch it to add any real notes. Though I’ve seen this, it isn’t in my collection and I don’t expect to see it again any time soon.

Being ancient and good, this movie has become the standard for a “certain type” of movie. It got there first, so it set the bar. One which arguably hasn’t been reached by other movies.
