A nerd fulfils his dream of being on the high school football team and has a crush on a geek girl, a desperately lonely single mother and an ex-assassin neighbour.
Not a dudebro movie and not a chick flick. I’m not sure where this stands, but it’s watchable.

A struggling writer takes drugs, giving him incredible results with unforeseen consequences.
This is an uncomfortably-great movie. It’s semi-horror in the sense of a tactile empathy the viewer has. I don’t know that I’d consider this mandatory viewing, because it would strongly depend on the viewer. I don’t think this would be a “love it or hate it” movie, because it’s .. just odd. It’s original, and that alone would make it mandatory viewing for some.
If you like this movie, definitely check out John Dies at the End – (2012 movie).

A buddy cop series, but with aliens, with overtones of very difficult social topics.
This is surprisingly good, either in addition to, or separate from, the movie. While I didn’t particularly like the movie, this series is recommended. Anyone who liked the original movie should definitely continue the franchise with this series.
This continues from Alien Nation – (1988 movie), including a story arc.

The surviving humans of a war against angels garrison themselves, and one of them is said to be their saviour.
Recommended. It’s got a lot of religion in it, but it’s generic.
I never did take notes for this. I probably should have. Maybe if I re-watch this series I will.

An adequate miniseries that I didn’t get through.

Aliens come to earth and offer their technology but have ulterior motives.
V is another show which got cut before it got into its plot. I might be biased because of my appreciation for its subtleties and the previous TV show and TV-movies.
I do like it, and I wish it continued. I don’t consider this recommended viewing for people unfamiliar with the earlier works because it doesn’t get into its complete story.

A man escapes death by teleporting himself to an extremely-distant planet, whose residents went mad from an unknown plague.
Really great for what it is, but its genre is not my cup of tea.

If you liked the earlier one, you’ll like this one even more.

Though there are other survivors of a spaceship crash, one pretty girl runs around beating things up and looking damned good doing it.
A fair watch. Reminiscent of many other movies.

A girl escapes slavery and pulls together a band of people to go on a quest.
This outclasses other B-movies or B-TV. If you like the class and genre, you’ll like this.
Followed by Mythica: The Darkspore (2015).
