A pretty princess turned-warrior leaves paradise to hunt the god of war during World War II.
It's got a slow pace, good mood and is not your usual superhero flick. The pretty girl really makes this movie, even making up for the ugly male lead.
 It really was in theaters. I went back to see it.

Two interns and a lovesick magazine reporter follow up on a crazy old classified ad requesting a partner for time travel.
It's not exactly a time-travel movie, science fiction, a comedy or a romance or a romantic comedy, but it does have a light dusting of everything. It's "okay".
Based on a joke published as a classified advertisement in Backwoods Home - (1997 magazine), by John Silveira

A broken man, having done the hokey pokey as an assassin, is forced back in. Again.
Adequate. It borrows from feelings and elements of other movies, and does a mediocre job of entertaining.
Continues from John Wick - (2014 movie)

Thrust back into a life he thought he exited, a contract killer vows revenge for the brutal slaying of.. his dog.
An adequate movie.

An investigative reporter, most recently working on criminal drug stories, gets a lead that takes him down a rabbit hole few knew existed.
A fair movie at best, which I can only recommend for people of the mindset with interest in the United States' government's involvement in Bad Things.
Based on Kill the Messenger - (2006 book), by Gary Webb

A special agent combat-cyborg pursues a cyber criminal who comes to have a special interest in her.
Although I like it, I suspect it's because I like the original so much and I can't be unbiased. I also think Scarlett is hot.
I became even more interested in seeing this movie in light of the incorrectly-supposed-whitewashing of the lead character. Antisocial injustice is actually pretty good at recommending things.
Remade from the animated movie Ghost In The Shell - (1995 movie)

Aliens arrive, but nobody knows the first thing about talking to them.
This is another movie whose description would spoil it. With a rather mellow and thoughtful tone throughout, it pulls the viewer in. I think it will hold up well over time, too.
 No, her eyes are not like that

A ship malfunctions, and a passenger on a deep-space voyage to a new colony is woken from hibernation early.
Good and not good at the same time. It works out quite well, and has a good overall tone to it, but the story itself is sad.

A feminist's documentary about men's (human) rights.
A refreshing piece of work, with the intellectual morals to actually talk to the men's rights advocates being talked about. The contrast between "the sides" is truly astonishing.

Betrayed by his partner-in-crime over syndicate buy-in money, and by his wife over his affair, a man returns from his assumed-murder to collect his cut from their last job.
An amazing movie that has a great tone throughout. It's straightforward and blunt. Although Mel Gibson is flat, it works for both the character and the movie.
A remake of Point Blank - (1967 movie), which is in turn based on The Hunter - (1962 book), by Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake)
