Deadpool learns that his murder-spree has a consequence, and when his coin and a teddy bear struggle, a time machine lights fists on fire or something. Also X-Force.
Fucking awful.

A reporter goes to a small odd town for one story, but a local murder changes his interests.
Though adequate, I didn’t finish it; this isn’t my sort of movie.

An agent of the witness protection program “erases” people so they can hide while awaiting their court testimony, but one proceeding has powerful interests.
An adequate-enough movie for its era.

Inspired by the story of the forty-seven rōnin . If you don’t know it, then don’t look that up. I can’t give a description without spoiling it. Consider yourself lucky to have a fresh mind.
This is a patient yet tense movie. I have next to no notes, because there’s really nothing to write or even think about. Recommended, though not “highly recommended”, as there are a lot of movies which execute this general manly-man theme extremely well. Though it’s not among its number, anyone who likes the samurai genre should give this a watch.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.

Survivors of an alien attack crash next to a prison and learn that the alien came with them.
This was my first movie with a shaved-headed woman. I guess I was all “oh no she di’int, now wesa gettin serioooos”.
In my mind, the franchise was significantly weakened by this movie. It just didn’t “feel right”. Perhaps the previous two were so good that they became too tough to follow, but after yet another re-watch this movie really just doesn’t seem all that good.

A synthetic bounty hunter of synthetics learns of a plot for synthetic-synthesis. Or something.
Plodding and nervous. Another unnecessary remake.
todo – watch the director’s cut

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.
A direct descendent of Alien – (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.
