The Tomorrow Man - (2002 movie) image

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0153098/

A man’s son’s older self goes back in time to kidnap himself.

It’s not great or anything, but it’s obscure enough that I’m glad to have bought it.

Be a wizard that runs around casting spells.

Really hard to play, but because its gameplay is bad. A new game, but it looks and feels like a PlayStation 2 game. Get it if it’s on sale for a laugh, otherwise don’t bother with this one.

Aliens destroy the world, and survivors band together to fight back using power armour.

A fantastic game, the likes of which I have never seen.

Unfortunately, it was abandoned.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - (1988 movie) poster

A crazy old man appears in a war-torn city to correct the misconceptions of the retelling of his adventures.

It’s a great fluff fantasy movie. I didn’t see it back in the day, so it has no nostalgia for me. Left with what it is at face value, I can’t recommend it except for people who like the old 80s style of kids’ practical effects fantasy movies. Think The Dark Crystal – (1982 movie) or The Neverending Story – (1984 movie).

A man struggles with a split personality disorder, turning to an unlikely group of young women for counseling. Haha, just kidding it’s a kidnapping-horror movie.

Amazing acting, good writing, good all around. It’s contained, straightforward and engaging. It was assembled well enough that I didn’t take many notes.

A government assassin learns he has been cloned by a rogue lab bent on raising an army of perfect soldiers.

A fair movie. It brings nothing new or interesting, and has generally uninspired writing and action. Thinking back on it, it does seem derivative of so many other movies.
