Three movie stars, mistaken for the heroes they portray, are lead to Mexico to protect townsfolk.
Maybe this was good in the context in which it was made, but god damn is it awful now.

Three old friends get together to try to relive their past, but get sent back in by their outdoor whirlpool.
Not a great movie, but good enough.
Not good enough for a sequel, but they made one: Hot Tub Time Machine 2 – (2015 movie)

Stuff about living in a shit building. I couldn’t get through it.
This is supposedly dystopian-esque and science fiction.. but .. I didn’t see any of that.

A dude goes places and does things, looking for some stuff I think. There are explosions and is smoking.
Noted here just for one of those “oh, I’ve seen that” references.
I don’t recall particularly liking or disliking it.

During World War II, a lucky Soviet soldier is fictionalized into a hero, but he truly earns that distinction only to find himself up against the German’s very best.
With a good pace and atmosphere, this movie is riveting.
Based on Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad (1973 book), by William Craig

In a world where video game characters are alive, a lonely bad guy tries to earn appreciation but ends up threatens ruin.
A fun movie, most appropriate for the nostalgia fans of various old arcade games. It goes very very old, like Pixels – (2015 movie), which puts it in a particularly odd space. I think this one ends up being childish and unique enough that its various reference aren’t in the way of an actual proper movie.

The last remaining city in a ruined world learns it has an oversight committee funding a research project overseeing them.
An adequate movie, filled with no character development, an uninteresting world and a mediocre plot. Good for a watch for people who like the earlier movies in this series, or people too young and dumb to know what a good movie actually is.
TODO – take better notes when I next re-watch this.

A time traveling agent chases after a terrorist bomber.
A very good movie, notable for its unique handling of issues in time travelling.
