The son of a criminal boss strikes a deal that goes bad, and veteran muscle becomes embroiled in the mess.

It’s standard fare; nothing particularly interesting, but if you like this sort of thing then it’s perfectly watchable.

I don’t know how to describe this without spoiling it.

It’s good because it’s pre-woke and can handle difficult topics.

Two people connect because of a portal through time in the shape of a mailbox.

Awkward in various ways, but I can see the charm. Not recommended because The Lake House – (2006 movie) is vastly superior.

A mailbox sends objects back and forth through time, and it’s discoverers only think to write love letters.

Very well-paced and thoughtful; highly recommended.

A dude with a certain set of skills does vigilante justice stuff, but when he steps out of the shadows his past catches up to him. Or something.

It’s yet another watchable assassin-esque movie, but it’s kinda meh.

Various short stories, apparently all of which have preachy woke commentaries.

Fucking hell, pass.

A prequel to Star Trek – (1966 show) but with canon revisionism.

Boss girls, shit exposition, sprinkled with wokeness, too many distractingly-ugly women.

  • Properly titled Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.

I’m forced to mark this as disliked if only for the fact that many many avoidable movie-quality mistakes were made: From dimness to grimness, this movie was not youth-friendly in the least.

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.

Wholesome if you don’t think about it too much, which is easy to do.
