An assassin doesn’t want to kill in front of a child.. and probably some other stuff.
This was way too slow for me to continue watching.

Receiving a signal from her now-dead foster-parent race, Samus Aran investigates.
There is no plot. It’s confusing and ugly. Do not watch this.
A Sam R. Balcomb film.

Upon contact with aliens, humans set up a space station to promote ambassadorial relations among species.
Easily among the best television I’ve seen. Everything about this series is phenomenal: acting, stories, sets, etc. Unfortunately, the graphics do appear dated in places, but it otherwise holds up very well.
Mandatory viewing.
See also Crusade – (1999 show), the spin-off which should not be watched!

Movie Box, cd 1 – Babylon 5 – The Gathering – (1993 movie)
SPOILER ALERT – Although there is important information in the introduction to the station, I think it’s important to skip to 1:15.

The bar for entry into the police force is lowered, and misfits enter the police academy.
Overall, this was worth a couple of laughs, but the sexism and racism need to be viewed too in-context for me to deal with it. This language/culture/whatever difference removes any chance of timelessness this movie might have had.

Primarily a parody the original Star Wars trilogy.
It technically holds up well, but there are references which wouldn’t make sense to a younger person. Bits and pieces feel old, but a surprising amount of it doesn’t. All in all, I can see why it was a cult classic, but it’s almost entirely boring to me. 1980s comedy has a specific flavour which is really simplistic and underwhelming out of context.
Recommended as a one-off watch for those who have seen and appreciated other bubblegum 1980s comedies. Otherwise, pass on this.

The Soviets and Cubans invade the United States, and a small band fight to survive.
It’s important to understand this movie in the context of the Cold War. As such, this movie doesn’t exactly stand the test of time in this respect. The 2012 remake had to blame North Korea because our times are different. Back then, this movie had a believable-enough plot line.
The underlying ideas are good, but the actual plot and movie itself do feel old. I like this movie a lot, but only for its concepts. I don’t think it’s re-watchable for a non-survivalist.
This was remade as Red Dawn – (2012 movie). That version sucked.

People abandon Earth to flee to Mars, and a ship of three are sent with supplies to aid in recolonization.
I couldn’t get 20 minutes in because of the acting.
Why would a few days be fucking people over like that? I bet it’s because they’re 30.
Okay, I’m going to stop now.. the acting is just too bad.

A failure artist finds new muse when his prize mannequin creation comes to life.
A fun and imaginative movie. Easy on the brain. It’s accessible to people who don’t like or want to see a “heavy” romance movie.
The movie was filmed at Boscov‘s department store, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.

The dying breath of the queen of witches curses a man with immortality, who becomes a witch hunter but only one who incarcerates witches, which turns out to be a bad idea because they didn’t see Demolition Man – (1993 movie).
An adequate movie, but doesn’t bring anything interesting. The world, the plot and the characters are all boring. Perfectly fine for people who like bubblegum action fantasy.
