Vampires are real, and a secret council, whose formation is never explained, support a good-vampire on her mission to mercilessly slaughter bad-vampires in search for the worst-vampire who she was told killed her father.

For a while I was quite captivated by this movie. It was good in every respect, but it seemed to take a turn for the worse half way through, and just kept sliding. Overall it’s good, but elements of it are too similar to other famous movies for me to really find it interesting, especially since those elements are rushed.

It’s decent enough to recommend for a one-time watch.


I’ll add notes when I re-watch this.

In a future Tokyo which has survived a massive explosion, a highschool student motorcycle gang stumbles into a military research program whose earlier efforts lead to that disaster, and they become embroiled in the revived project.

A genre-defining movie on so many levels. It portrays a world unique to those unfamiliar with manga (a form of Japanese comics) and has both great storytelling and incredible animation.

Deadpool (2006) poster

Dying of cancer, a dishonourably-discharged special forces soldier submits to experimentation to save his life, which was actually to enslave him and resulted in mutant powers with a scarring side effect, forcing him to hunt down his creator for both revenge and the cure.

An adequate movie on-par with the other adequate superhero movies. This has some significant laugh-out-loud moments, and with a lot of blood and cursing to make it an R-rated movie, it rides on the ho-hum samey-same superhero movie trend all the way to success.

Features nothing new or interesting in the expanded universe. In fact, involves nothing from any other movie whatsoever.

Recommended for those who are hipster for the “superhero genre” movie trend.

Five young scientists invent a technology to teleport to some other world, but there are terrible consequences.

An adequate movie. Recommended if you’re already into this class of movie. Apparently this superhero retardation is now an entire class of movie. God dammit this is some lazy bullshit.

  • Stylized as Fant4stic

    • No, really.
    • I’m not sure if this is actually done in print with text or only with that image/logo.

A woman with the powers of strength and PTSD is tormented by a former not-boyfriend and whose description spoils the show.

I watched this for a bit, and it’s slow and boring.

Fire City - End of Days (2015) poster

Demons who feed on suffering suffer a terrible plague that threatens to starve them to death.

A unique world, great makeup/appliances and plot make this particularly interesting. I’ve heard this called noir-esque, and it really does have a style that’s similar to other movies I’ve seen. Recommended!

They band together to save the planet from Galactus, a world-consuming alien.

Mediocre.

  • Properly titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

All the Earth is in peril, but everyday people have been given super powers.. except half of them become villains, for some reason.

The interface and controls weren’t pleasant for me. Probably the biggest nuisance was not having set a colour scheme on my chest because I made myself bare-chested.
