A feminist’s documentary about men’s (human) rights.

A refreshing piece of work, with the intellectual morals to actually talk to the men’s rights advocates being talked about. The contrast between “the sides” is truly astonishing.

The Romulans have an internal power struggle, and The Enterprise is brought in for diplomacy by one of their factions, which has a member particularly interested in their captain.

Generally trashy and obvious, with multiple issues throughout. Not worth watching. Definitely avoid if not already a fan of the television show, as this is an absolute mess without a moderate understanding of its lore.

  • Properly titled Star Trek X: Nemesis

Betrayed by his partner-in-crime over syndicate buy-in money, and by his wife over his affair, a man returns from his assumed-murder to collect his cut from their last job.

An amazing movie that has a great tone throughout. It’s straightforward and blunt. Although Mel Gibson is flat, it works for both the character and the movie.

A day-walking vampire halts his crusade against them, forming a truce to hunt an even worse monster.

An adequate movie, with an acceptable amount of over-the-top nonsense. Definitely worth watching for fans of the original. Easily stands the test of time.

A boy turned into a horrifying soldier becomes a totally likable guy.

I believe I watched this movie already, but perhaps it faded from memory due to its mediocrity. I couldn’t watch very far in before being entirely turned off at the concept of the main character.

Boda Secreta - (1989 movie) poster

A man wakes up naked with amnesia and seeks out his fiance from years ago.

Not great and not recommended. It’s got a shaky story and a weakly-portrayed world. Both the movie’s world and the film quality are particularly low. Its acting and speech are stiff.

  • In English, the title is Secret Wedding.
