A man, waking with no memories and thought to be a serial killer, flees his pursuers and not only learns he isn’t who they think he is, but they aren’t who they think they are either.

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.

Slow. While it has potential it really doesn’t work out, especially because it stops making sense nearing the ending.

High school misfits are each brought in to an all-Saturday detention and crack under the pressure.

An incredible drama with spectacular acting.

  • While I consider this “youth-friendly” it’s actually rated R for on-screen drug use, sexual language (including rape), and descriptions of abuse.

With the power of Nietzsche, a barbarian-turned-warrior seeks revenge on those who killed his people.

This movie ROCKS. Very thoughtful stuff.
