Two priests, exiled to an island in the middle of nowhere in Ireland, try to make due.
A mid-1990s British comedy with a laugh track. If you aren’t positive you can handle that, then pass. It has only a few moments, but is otherwise crap.
 Special "letterbox" edition.

The world learns that an old artifact is alien in origin, and set out to Venus to meet its creators.
Not terrible, but not my thing. I’m not a fan of old B-movies, and it being so old makes it impossible for me to judge it properly. I can summarize with: It has classic stiff acting and awkward writing.

Archaeologists discover an ancient body with impossible technologies, giving evidence of a time-traveling journalist.
Quite a good movie! With a three hour run time, it was an easy binge and one that strings together seamlessly. A great story, and while it has some storytelling moments, it has unforgiving realism for its characters.
It has only a couple of awkward “like it’s totes real, yo” moments because of some characters, but thankfully it’s well-balanced and is overall absent of religion aside from the major plot point.

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.
This has no relation to The Mummy – (1999 movie).

An antiquities reclamation rogue discovers an ancient Egyptian prison, and becomes an unwilling agent for the curse within.
At best this is an adequate movie. I could weakly recommend it for fans of this sub-genre, but otherwise give it a pass. It has a budget that’s stronger than its writing or acting.

A documentary on, and interviews with, Edward Snowden.
I suppose it has some interesting material, and certainly the topic is great, but as a viewing experience this movie is boring as fuck.

Something something Hungary something mole.
An incredibly slow and boring movie.

Based on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy – (1974 book), by John le Carré
 The studio didn't get to keep his career.

An infamous criminal hides from or fights bounty hunters for years, only to be declared the enemy of a galaxy-spanning crusade.
This comes after Riddick – (2013 movie), but isn’t really a continuation as such. If you didn’t like that movie, then obviously don’t see this one. If you did, then this is a risky recommendation. It’s definitely not the same in any way.
I didn’t like it, but it’s not awful or anything. Maybe the fact that I didn’t take a lot of notes says something. Well maybe it says that Disgaea – Hour of Darkness – (2003 game) is more interesting to grind while watching.

College kids go on vacation out into the woods, and everything goes horribly wrong when misunderstandings spiral out of reason.
A great movie with a great tone. Really fun to watch, but, as with most of its peers, it’s great for just the one watch.
