A scientist from the future goes back in time to do (stuff that I wasn’t paying attention enough to figure out), but his assistant’s daughter goes back to stop him with the help of one of the grandfather’s of time travel.

For an old TV-movie this is pretty good.

  • The actual movie is copyright 1986.

Something something father something reactor something plans to the death star something hope.

A pretty terrible episode. I’m not going to bother watching another of these..

  • AKA Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, because fuck sensible naming.

G.I. Joe - The Rise of Cobra - (2009 movie) poster

Newly-developed military nano-technology is stolen by terrorists in a plot to take over the world, and only a super-elite team chosen from the international best can stop them.

This movie is another example of both an astonishingly wide gap between its original audience and current audience, and a needless unimagination in original movie universe-building authorship.

  • Properly titled G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
  • Based on the G.I. Joe toy / cartoon franchise.
  • In association with Hasbro.

In a world where everyone must take a daily suppressant to survive a deadly plague, one cop is put on the case of a string of murders targeting its researchers.

As usual, Christopher Lambert is a terrible actor. I just realized he’s another Keanu Reeves, where if you like the guy you’ll be just fine.. and you’ll also know how each of his characters will look and feel.

Kelly Brook is a work of art.

Having moved into a new place, a man gets caught in terrible circumstances when he discovers his neighbour is a research facility which built a prototype time machine.

A great movie. In the tradition of lower-budget movies, it emphasises atmosphere, writing and acting than special effects. In, in fact, has no special effects whatsoever.. and they’re not missed.

Highly recommended for fans of time travel movies. For others not familiar with this sub-genre, this’ll probably play like a mild mystery-horror.

  • In Spanish, Los cronocrímenes

An archaeologist seeks an ancient Egyptian amulet to gain godlike powers.

A great fan film. I wish I had a better source than the 240p on YouTube, but I didn’t actually look around at all.

A man travels back in time to save the husband of the woman he grew up idolizing.

Not a terrible movie, but it really breaks down into a confusing mess past the half-way mark. It does make up for things near the end though, which is a good recovery. So for a direct-to-video movie, it does pretty good for itself.

Another alien race is whipped up, with another genocidal personality wielding another universe-threatening super weapon, and The Enterprise and her crew are once again the only thing standing in the way.

God, yet another of the same old shit. If you liked the other, you’ll like this.

I’ll take proper notes when I re-watch this.

A documentary following soldiers fighting the aliens left over from an invasion.

I rather liked this! People talk about this being low budget, but until it’s pointed out I doubt someone would really notice.

Having fallen from grace, two friends are reunited in their pursuit of ghosts, eventually forming a band of four who fight them. And stuff.

This is neither a sequel to the actual Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), nor is it anything in its style or quality. It’s just a theft of the franchise. It shits all over it. Ignoring all of that, it’s still an awful movie on its own.

This is not a comedy! Don’t mistake it for one! The only funny scene had nothing to do with the main characters.

This is a steaming pile of shit. Do not watch it!

This is officially non-cannon.
