During a zombie apocalypse, a guy with a past gets selected for his skills to pursue a cure.

A couple moves to a quiet and friendly town, but the wife, with no job and her kids grown up, has enough free time to be unhappy.

I didn’t like it compared to The Stepford Wives – (1975 movie).

A coal miner survives an apocalypse, but his struggles are only beginning.

Patient and excellent. A solid movie that survives its times. Also good for the terminally woke, to rub in the fact that this content has been mainstream since forever.

A Beauty and the Beast story about a warrior poet man who feels unworthy of love because of his appearance.

A couple moves to a quiet and friendly town, but the wife, with no job and her kids grown up, has enough free time to be unhappy.

Many movies build very slowly, and this one comes from a time when that was acceptable. So if you can handle have the patience to not fidget while you wait for “the big reveal” then you will definitely like this.

I don’t know how to describe this without spoiling it.

It’s good because it’s pre-woke and can handle difficult topics.

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.

I’m forced to mark this as disliked if only for the fact that many many avoidable movie-quality mistakes were made: From dimness to grimness, this movie was not youth-friendly in the least.

Wholesome if you don’t think about it too much, which is easy to do.
