A woman in a wheelchair goes on vacation alongside various religious tourists.

I couldn’t get to the half-way point without succumbing to boredom. This movie has a kind of absence of flavour that drones on like one unwavering tone. I don’t know how the hell this movie got into my inbox, perhaps as a reality-questioning movie. Maybe it got into interesting things later, but I was unwilling to give it that chance.

It had no explosions or lasers.

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.

A British wizard travels to New York City, but his case full of endangered magical creatures causes trouble in a city that already has its own creature problem.

Weak characters, a shit plot with lots of filler and generally unlikeable. Especially bad in light of the earlier movies set in this universe. God that main character is fucking terrible to watch.

I will forever misremember this title as Fantastic Breasts and Where to Find Them. No fantastic breasts were found in this movie.

Avoid, especially if you like the Harry Potter series!

Roswell – (1999 show) >

Its general theme is set up quickly, and then it has a significant evolution. Overall it’s light on the brain, and has generally-believable characters.

Unfortunately, the character who can be most easily seen as the lead is as charismatic as a stone. This is really distracting, and it took most of the season for me to even begin to empathise with him.

A girl learns she has magic powers and stuff when a bad guy and his henchmen who all like demons hunt her down for a thing she has.

A superhero-girl-witch movie. Adorable and stuff. Recommended for girls who are fans of this adorable trope genre.
