A brainwashed daughter and her manipulative mother practice a con to satisfy their hypergamy, but love gets in the way.

Mediocre, but worth a watch if you’re fairly interested. It has some moments, but it’s got a kind of campy attitude. While it has a plot, it hand-waves plot-critical character decisions. For me, this wasn’t even a bubblegum-movie. It hurt my brain to sit through it, and only the blistering hotness of Jennifer Love Hewitt could keep me interested.

A comedic commentary of Aeon Flux – (2005 movie).

Although amusing and with a few laugh-out-loud moments, this is mostly a waste of time. The RiffTrax concept might be nice for either fans or haters of a film, but this RiffTrax of this movie was not particularly entertaining to me. I’ll likely get into other RiffTrax’s later, so perhaps my opinion will change, but for now I don’t recommend this.

In a ruined world, the last remaining city is revealed to be populated by clones, the need of which the lead scientist hopes to cure but his brother works to persist.

Overall a decent flick, but with great music that quickly becomes over-the-top with its loud pervasiveness. It starts strong, but its big ending action sequence looks cheesy as all hell. I can tentatively say I like this movie. I have, after all, seen it multiple times. Something in me is saddened somehow, as though this movie should have been better but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m not familiar with its source material, but I expect those who are would have more grounds to find fault with this movie.

Properly titled Æon Flux
Based on the TV series Æon Flux.

A dragon, having, for unknown reasons, landed as a meteorite but on top of a clutch of eggs and somehow not damaging them, heals a not-knight who risked his life for the eggs but actually to steal them is cursed to become the slave of a druid who is for some reason called a sorcerer.

This is basically a high-quality TV-movie but released for the big screen. It’s not dependent on the other movies in this series, which is probably for the best. It’s not great, not particularly good and only worth a one-time watch for people who are fans of this sort of genre.

This is a prequel to the series, set about 100 years before the first movie.

A king, resurrected with half of a dragon’s heart, rules with an iron fist but is opposed by his former-mentor, a former dragon-slayer now allied with that last dragon who has the remaining half of the king’s heart.

A fine, action-heavy, fantasy. Has a lot of recognizable stars.

A child with an allergy to peanuts hallucinates an indian statue as Tonto telling him a story with the Lone Ranger.

Johnny Depp has started taking terrible cornball roles, and this movie is a steaming pile of shit. His native-American character feels cringeworthingly blackface-esque. I can see how the occasional comedic bit can make a movie fun, but the entire spirit of this movie feels just a touch too serious for there to be the right comedy-adventure feeling like that in Pirates of the Caribbean꞉ The Curse of the Black Pearl – (2003 movie).

See Lone Ranger

An ancient discovery in Egypt, from before the pyramids, is found to be a gateway to another world which is still kept as a slave planet by Ra, a self-appointed god who is an alien just trying to get by.

A fantastic movie. Not exactly mandatory. Perhaps elements of it don’t feel like they have held up well, or maybe there has been so much excellent science fiction before, during and since its time.

If you like this movie, see Stargate viewing order for the viewing order of other shows.

An dying old rich man has his mind transferred to a younger body, and learns the dark secrets of the process.

Overall a good movie. It’s not particularly science-fictiony, but it does explore an interesting topic.

Two agents become an unlikely pair to thwart the creation and deployment of a nuclear warhead.

I overall liked this. It has a classy feel something like the old James Bond films but with its own flavour. Younger fans of that genre will likely also like this movie.
