A zombie apocalypse fells Japan and it’s up to an almost-NEET everyman to mostly save a couple of people.

A straightforward and largely unsurprising movie; fine for wasting some time.

Blade - (1998 movie) poster

Born as the survivor of a bitten-pregnancy, a part-vampire “day walker” continues his crusade amidst one of their ranks’ power play for leadership.

A classic movie, before the whole superhero genre got entirely out of hand. It’s an unfortunate rewriting of the original comic book, but it does well with what it has. It’s blunt and stiff, yet entertaining.

It has only a couple of moments of technology which feel old, otherwise it has held up well.

The universe is actually ruled by an emperor, who toys with the Earth and gets the attention of a few people who try to stop him.

Fun and silly and not for me.

A cripple does science that goes bad.

This movie is a special kind of bad all it’s own. There are movies which are bad, you know it and you can point it out. For those movies you can pick them apart and agree on things or argue over what you imagine might have been done better. Morbius, on the other hand, is bad in a way you can’t put your finger on. There are pictures and they move, but the writing, acting and sound are void of substance. The audio in particular is insubstantial.
