A man becomes a music teacher, and teaches music and stuff.
An adequate movie. It’s easily a high-caliber for the kind of movie it is. It’s just not my thing.
PG rated

In the far future, the scarcity of water prompts pirates to steal ice, but they are swept up into a rebellion.
Swashbuckling-and-blasters, this movie is cheezy without being funny. I think it has some cult following merely because there wasn’t much of interest back then, and this style of movie was popular for reasons outside of quality entertainment. This is like some sort of movie version of shitposting.
Absolutely not recommended, as it doesn’t tick any boxes outside of nostalgia.

Do not watch this! Instead watch the fan edit Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie). Even at its much lower quality it’s head and shoulders above this movie.

A hitman is witnessed just after a job, and becoming a suspect pushes his employers put a hit out on him.
While I can imagine this being really cool at the time, it certainly isn’t any more. It has a slow moody atmosphere with a main character stiff enough to be a walking corpse. It’s also just shy of being a silent film.
I only finished watching it because of the similarity Ghost Dog – (1999 movie) has with it, because I like that movie.

On the way to moving to a new town, a girl stumbles upon and is trapped in a pocket dimension with an old Japanese bath house run by spirits and non-humans.
SHE SHOUTS A LOT
A spectacular movie. Youthful but with a balance of fantasy spectacle and horror.

Three movie stars, mistaken for the heroes they portray, are lead to Mexico to protect townsfolk.
Maybe this was good in the context in which it was made, but god damn is it awful now.
- Properly titled ¡Three Amigos!

In a world where video game characters are alive, a lonely bad guy tries to earn appreciation but ends up threatens ruin.
A fun movie, most appropriate for the nostalgia fans of various old arcade games. It goes very very old, like Pixels – (2015 movie), which puts it in a particularly odd space. I think this one ends up being childish and unique enough that its various reference aren’t in the way of an actual proper movie.

A military unit is sent on missions in a future where all of humanity is at war with alien insects.
The show is animated, and not “anime”. As such, it has not held up well with time. The music is fantastic, though. Truly. However, its other high points do not make up for the visual issue I have.
While it doesn’t do it for me, I would recommend this for fans of the movie or movie series who can also handle the visual style and jerky movement that to me is reminiscent of ReBoot – (1994 show).
- Properly titled Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles
- Ran from 1999-08-30 to 2000-04-03
- Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein
-
Based the movie Starship Troopers – (1997 movie), and is definitely not a sequel to it.
