Our dude uses every resource for revenge against the Harkonnen who murdered his family and people.
It would be watchable, even good, if it didn't have odd gaps in it. It's as though there is another movie whose cloth this was cut. I'm betting there is a super duper extended length version, because I feel there are missing scenes.

Murder in Washington, D.C. - United States has been solved by precognition, except for one mysterious case.
I like it quite a bit!
- Not actually a time travel movie per-se.
- Inspired by The Minority Report - (1956 book), by Philip K. Dick

Cell phones turn people into zombie bees or something.
A nothing of a movie that makes no sense and has a shit ending. There was unrealized potential, but this is definitely not recommended.

For people who don't like this movie and bail early: This was made in a time when you can't pause or leave. It's meant to be "bad" to an uncomfortable degree before it begins to make its point(s).

A pig farmer gets stoned and hallucinates.
Gritty, scary, and gripping; a product of its time. Recommended both for real parenting and people who appreciate decent cinema. It's nowhere near the calibre of something like The Secret of NIMH - (1982 movie) or the like, but think gently in that direction.

A satellite brings back a deadly pathogen which scientists desperately try to figure out a cure for.
It's got that oldie feeling, but with enough of a timeless element to make it really riveting.

- Inspired by The Andromeda Strain - (1969 book), by Michael Crichton
- Inappropriately rated: Rated G but with a topless woman, bare men's bums, sex comments.

This inspired The Andromeda Strain - (2008 show)

Harry Potter works to chip away at Voldermort's base of power, while Voldermort's army holds a tight grip on the whole of the wizarding world.
Worthy of a three-part episode in a TV series. Bad writing.

Harry and friends are on the run and looking for clues to help them destroy Voledmort.
Terrible writing and it's just another episode.
