To dispose of bodies, criminal enterprises send people back in time to kill them. For some reason.
I mean, it’s a movie. It’s not bad, but it’s definitely dumb.

A boy is saved by a mob man, and becomes an assassin as repayment only to become embroiled in the crime world.
Gentle and moody. A little cheesy and a little lame, but I still like it a lot.
Properly titled Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

In a world where lifespan replaces currency, one man is given more than his due, upsetting the balance of powers.
Good story, pacing, and acting.

A criminal group sedates and enters the dreams of targets to steal their secrets.
I’m sure it’s wonderful and nuanced for lots of people, but to me it’s just okay. I find it rather obvious and uninteresting.

Two acquaintances keep bumping into one another until a friendship starts; testing the scientifically-proved uncontestable fact that men and women can’t be friends, which is a total fiction.
Phenomenal, even all this time later and compared to everything that was made before and since. Billy Crystal really carries this movie.
TODO – My DVD dies 2/3rds in, and needs to be replaced…

In the backdrop of a mirrored Earth appearing in the sky, a woman works through the consequences of causing a horrific tragedy.
A drama through and through, and honorifically called science fiction, this is moody and slow-paced. I liked it quite a lot, not least of why is the looks of the lead character; damn.

A boring man learns he is part of a greater story when he hears his own narration.
Moody and paced; highly recommended.
No this is not a comedy.
