Alien Isolation TV Mini-Series 2019 – IMDb

Fifteen years after her mother disappeared on the deep space towing ship Nostromo, Amanda Ripley travels to a remote space station that may hold clues to her mother’s fate. But disaster strikes as she arrives at her destination.

Adapted from cut scenes of the video game by the same name. There’s some pretty big holes in the plot that were apparently part of the player portions and not part of the cut scenes, but this was pretty interesting to watch.

Parallels

Directed by Christopher Leone. With Mark Hapka, Jessica Rothe, Eric Jungmann, Constance Wu. A mysterious building is the gateway to infinite parallel Earths.

Bonkers story that seems familiar and doesn’t do anything new with the formula. If you’ve watched an episode or two of Sliders, that’s what this is, just with a whole lot less mobility. I’d like to see a series with the premises that they set up in the movie but never follow through with!

The Favourite

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. With Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Nicholas Hoult. In early 18th century England, a frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah.

An absolutely fantastic waste of two hours, the story goes no where, nothing of note really happens, but it’s all done fantastically and with great expense.

Why Self-Checkout Is and Has Always Been the Worst

Automation is often presented as an inexorably advancing force, whether it’s ushering in a threat to jobs or a promise of increased leisure or larger profits. We’re made to imagine the robots rising, increasingly mechanized systems of production, more streamlined modes of everyday living. But the truth is that automation technology and automated systems very often fail. And even when they do, they nonetheless frequently wind up stranded in our lives.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Directed by Bryan Singer. With Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy. The story of the legendary rock band Queen and lead singer Freddie Mercury, leading up to their famous performance at Live Aid (1985).

A fun movie that had an uneven pacing and tragically omits most of the band’s early history. That’s expected for a movie that’s just about Freddy, but it’s a missed opportunity for a movie named after a band’s famous song.

The Death of Superman Lives What Happened

Directed by Jon Schnepp. With Nicolas Cage, Kevin Smith, Tim Burton, Dan Gilroy. A documentary about the proposed 1998 Superman Lives feature film that would have starred Nicolas Cage.

This was absolutely fantastic, and much higher quality than I expected going on. They were able to get pretty much everyone involved in the business making of the film to do interviews. This film also changed my opinion on that infamous Supersuit, I had only seen the one snap of it, and seeing it in motion and powered up really shows how amazing it would have been to see on screen. Maybe it wouldn’t have been a perfect film, but it would have been something different.

Mortal hero Bek teams with the god Horus in an alliance against Set, the merciless god of darkness, who has usurped Egypt’s throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict.

Much maligned for it’s casting decisions, this turned out to be a much deeper movie than I was expecting. Sure, all the Egyptian gods were played by mostly white folks (Black Panther aside), but this is a solid science fiction film with supernatural elements. It’s free on TUBI right now if you can stomach the 20+ commercials that play during a two hour movie.

The Domestics

Directed by Mike P. Nelson. With Kate Bosworth, Tyler Hoechlin, Sonoya Mizuno, Lance Reddick. In the weeks following an apocalyptic event, a husband and wife venture across the countryside inhabited by deadly factions in search of safety, and must work together as they are pushed to the breaking point in order to survive.

Tyler Hoechlin is the new superman in the Supergirl TV series. He’s pretty cool in that show. And that’s Kate Bosworth, who only looks kinda familiar in the movie, and played Lois Lane in the much maligned Superman Returns, which remains my favorite Superman flick to this day. Even though both of these actors are amazing, there’s nothing Super about this film, it has a familiar story with a post apocalyptic setting, but doesn’t have the scope or editing to make it feel real.

Prospect

A teenage girl and her father travel to a remote alien moon, aiming to strike it rich. They’ve secured a contract to harvest a large deposit of the elusive gems hidden in the depths of the moon’s toxic forest. But there are others roving the wilderness and the job quickly devolves into a fight to survive. Not to be confused with the 2014 short film with the same name by the same directors.

Amazing visuals and world building with a story that kept me interested the entire time. Can’t ask for much more than that with science fiction movies!

Reign of the Supermen

As authorities investigate, new and completely different Supermen start appearing on the scene, making everyone wonder if Superman has been reincarnated, and if so, which of the new Supermen is the real Man-of-Steel?

Capsule

After years of flying fighter planes and 5 years as test pilot, Guy is now, Dec. 4, 1959, on a secret British space capsule orbiting Earth trying to reenter but things start going wrong. Can he, despite cold war, get back to Earth safely?

As far I can tell, this is purely fictional. It’s a one man show (until it suddenly very much isn’t) and it has some problems with pacing and there was a point with some of the people he was talking to over the radio that I just gave up on my suspension of disbelief.

Final Score

After deadly terrorists abduct his niece at a soccer match, an ex-soldier with lethal fighting skills (Dave Bautista) wages a one-man war to save her and prevent mass destruction.

Dave Bautista! 30 seconds of Pierce Brosnan! It’s like Die Hard set in a stadium full of people that don’t know they’re hostages and implausibly not a single one of them has to leave the stadium during the entire run of the movie, nor does anyone throw a tantrum when all the cell phones stop working.

I enjoyed this for what it is, but boy howdy are there some silly bits in there.

Mortal Engines

Peter Jackson presents a world unlike any you’ve seen. A young woman leads a band of outcasts to stop London, a predator city on wheels, from devouring everything in its path.

There’s a great movie here under and behind all the world building and unnecessarily overwrought plot elements. There was a point where they were layering yet another bit in with a cyborg that I just rolled my eyes. I get that this is based off a book series that has a ton of back story, but the movie really didn’t need those extra elements. Additionally I was somewhat confused by where everyone was, because at one point we were in the deep south with (yes really) red necks in giant monster car cities, then seemingly in the next scene we were in the far east fighting mystical Chinese people that made a giant wall to keep out the riff raff.

I look forward to inevitably reading the books the movie was culled from, hopefully they’ll fill in some of the problems I had with the movie.
