It is the 50s, and a Los Angeles private detective is swept up into intrigue when a job he takes goes sideways.
Meh. I can see how this would be interesting for someone who like gumshoe movies, but I don’t so I’m bored. It, throughout, seems like it’s trying too hard to be like an old black-and-white movie.
TODO – replace my copy

With killer-machines digging down to bypass the defences of the last refuge of mankind, a man with sudden magic powers magics with his powers.
Oh god, make it end. The writing is so fucking sloppy that the second movie and this third movie should not be watched by anyone, most especially fans of the first movie.
 Just like this poster, this movie has no brains.

The war against The Machines escalates, and it’s a race between them digging down to Zion and The One pushing his way into the core of The Matrix for reason that wasn’t explained very well.
If there are people out there who saw the first one and somehow get to this post before seeing this movie, please avoid this. Yes it’s more of the same and it’s “good”, but this is a shit story that should be skipped.
This movie does not have an ending. It is part one of a mandatory two-movie binge.

Artificial intelligence is created but is somehow only used as a personal assistant.
Awkward and slow, and so lacking in intellectual merit as to make it far too weak a story. Science fiction chick flicks are fucking weak.
As always, Send a philosopher.

An American captain, suffering from PTSD-induced nightmares so bad he became alcoholic, is brought back into the trade as a consultant and trainer to suppress the civil war in Japan and fight against its old warrior class, the samurai.
Dare I say this is one of the greats. It has various classic elements without being tiring and obvious, and maintains a great pace and tone.

A recently-ex-con world-renown hacker is swept into the well-planned efforts to fund long-term anti-terrorist terrorism.
I-like-hyphens.
Ignoring the Hollywood-hacker bullshit, it’s a good movie, particularly because so few, at least at its release, would be so A-class and yet have this particular topic. It helps shape the understanding of the passion behind Lawful Evil.
Partially playing off of the Swordfish (password).

During the thrashing of an epileptic seizure, an editor stitches together bits of various unrelated shorts into a single movie filled with famous people and great music.
If one can labour past the non science-fiction, it’s pretty good. In fact, I think if one cut out everything except two of the storylines, they would make for good shorts. I may do that one day.
I wouldn’t imagine this to have been a critical success.
Based on Cloud Atlas (2004 book), by David Mitchell

In a world where everyone must take a daily suppressant to survive a deadly plague, one cop is put on the case of a string of murders targeting its researchers.
As usual, Christopher Lambert is a terrible actor. I just realized he’s another Keanu Reeves, where if you like the guy you’ll be just fine.. and you’ll also know how each of his characters will look and feel.
Kelly Brook is a work of art.
Released 2003-12-16

Two friends go on vacation, with one of them seriously ill and possibly dying, but a new illness progresses.
How do I describe this without spoiling it? I know a lot of people don’t like found-footage movies, but this one is quite good as it actually shows everything.
