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.

Something about a boy in the 70s wandering around and a girl from earlier who also wandered around because reasons and things happen but they’re not exciting so just give this a miss.
I don’t know what the fuck these people were thinking, but this is beyond confusing and awful.
Inspired by Wonderstruck – (2011 book), by Brian Selznick
 Starring Morgan Freeman and this other guy.

The Earth is ruined when aliens invade, and a maintenance skeleton crew monitors killer drones to protect resource-gathering efforts for survivors.
A fantastic movie from every angle. A very strong mood throughout. Highly recommended.

A standard broken-family Disney movie, but with magical thinking.
God damn this is a low-effort piece of shit.

A space-environmentalist works to cull the people who don’t recycle, but polluters aim to stop him.
An adequate movie which for once has a sensible major plot arc.
 I guess he's kind of interesting.

Our favorite web slinger has relationship problems.
Still quite a good movie. Recommended if you liked the earlier one.

A breakthrough in rapid genetics-alteration has unintended side-effects.
I’m fond of the earlier ones, but I think they get classed as “nostalgia”. This is a very good movie, and that’s likely enhanced by Emma Stone, who is incredibly attractive in dress, appearance and action.
 Nerd.

In a dystopic future akin to Brave New World – (1932 book), by Aldous Huxley, everyone is lost in a virtual reality, playing a game to take control of the world’s largest corporation.
This movie is parasitic to the childhoods of old men and permanent-children. It’s worth a watch if you’re over 40, otherwise it’ll be a fairly confusing mess of references.
Inspired by Ready Player One – (2011 book), by Ernest Cline

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.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon – (2009 movie), though I don’t see how.
