It’s the post-zombie apocalypse, and somehow in permanent-winter a nine year old is a whiny first world prissy little bitch.

There is no plot. Even if, and especially if, you like zombie movies.. avoid. I liked it at first, but it soon drove me mad with confusion and annoyance. I had to stop before the half way mark.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

  • Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
  • Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
  • Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow

  • Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.

Overall it’s an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can’t imagine it’s held up well at all. It puts me off because it’s so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange “Disney violence” oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

Driven by De Beers‘ manufactured value of diamonds, the story follows a robbery being investigated by police and an ugly insurance woman of some sort.

Maybe it gets better, but it’s slow and boring. Maybe I needed to see an extended-length pilot episode. This has John Hurt, but that’s not good enough for me. Maybe I should have given this more of a chance, but .. I’m not going to.

  • Has scenes spoken in the French language, with English subtitles. It takes place in France, so there are a lot.

  • Has scenes spoken in the Serbian language, with English subtitles.

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.

I like it so far.

I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).

There is a blackout and shit goes sideways.

It’s not bad, but I can see why people would give this 5/10. It’s a fair movie. It’s not compelling in the least, with characters I never really felt attached to. Maybe following multiple people worsens it.. cutting between them is jarring for me.

James Bond, aka 007, runs and drives around, things happen, explosions and shootouts.

Meh, decent but not great unless you’re a fan of the Bond universe. Not much of a “spy movie”. Worth a one-time watch though, even though it’s predictable as all fucking hell.
