Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon
Sort of a fun horror/fantasy/crime thriller about an escaped mental patient with mind control powers on the run from the law among strippers and drug dealers in the seedy underbelly…
Dead Like Me (TV series)
Fun magical-realist series about an 18-year-old girl struck down by satellite debris falling from space who joins a team of "reapers", undead people tasked with helping doomed souls depart their…
Latency
Slickly-produced but not terribly interesting sci-fi in which a gorgeous agoraphobic gamer gets a headset that allows her to control the computer with her mind and it turns her reality…
Rejuvenation
Slightly-better-than-TV-movie-quality sci-fi thriller about a college athlete sent to recover from drug addiction at a facility where the doctors are performing evil deeds on the patients. A likeable cast keeps…
Envision
Zero-budget, zero-production-values indie supposedly sci-fi flick about a guy who gets some sort of visual implants that cause him to see things, which results in him and his friends spending…
Boy Makes Girl
Another relationship movie in drag as sci-fi... Tubi must be lining these up on purpose. In this case, an autistic coder with severe social problems builds a girlfriend, teaches her…
The Pod Generation
A relationship movie in sci-fi drag. In a future world where corporations and artificial technology have intruded into every facet of life, women have babies gestate in artificial "pods" owned…
28 Weeks Later
This technically well-made sequel to the astoundingly good "28 Days Later" is technically well made, but adding fairly respectable stars like Rose Byrne and Idriss Elba, and even the production…
Inmate Zero
Surprisingly solid zombie action thriller about a zombie outbreak in a prison. With this clichéd title and that plot synopsis I expected total crap, but, surprise, it's a well-made, atmospheric,…
Bad Education (TV series)
Faintly entertaining British series about an immature teacher leading a classroom full of misfits. Starts slow, gets a little better as it goes along.
Gehenna: Where Death Lives
People trapped in a subterranean Japanese WWII bunker in the Philippines become embroiled in supernatural drama as corpse-like people and the spirits of deceased loved ones start to appear. As…
Devil’s Pass
Starts off like "The Blair Witch Project" meets the Dyatlov Pass Incident, before taking a hard sci-fi turn in the last act, after it's too late. Not terrible, but, meh.…
Man Vs
Unremarkable but reasonably entertaining younger cousin to "Predator" benefits from that little touch of Canadian production quality, which, as usual, means it's ever-so-slightly better than it should have been. Mostly…
Saturday Night Fever
A better movie than you might think considering the best known thing about it is the genre-defining disco soundtrack. John Travolta as a Brooklyn teenager in the '70s who loves…
The IT Crowd (TV series)
Reasonably humorous Britcom about geeks in a corporate IT department. First season kind of slow but eventually it gets a little funnier. Ok if you need some occasionally entertaining background…
After Yang
Visually gorgeous but perhaps the slowest, talkiest, least engaging nominal sci-fi I've ever seen. Something about a family whose child's AI companion breaks, so a lot of people talk and…
Death Becomes Her
Faintly-better-than-it-should be comedy about two viciously competitive women who ingest an immortality potion, allowing them to do greater and greater damage to each other. Primarily saved by nice film-noir type…
Van Dyke And Company (TV series)
Dick Van Dyke, Carl Reiner, Mary Tyler Moore, Gabe Kaplan, and a bunch of other people who should have known better in a stereotypically cringeworthy, unfunny '70s variety show. I…
Dog Day Afternoon
A fictionalization of a real-life 1972 bank robbery and hostage situation in Brooklyn that goes awry almost from the moment it begins. Masterful direction from Sidney Lumet and stellar acting…
Perceptarium
100% amateur crap. Some sort of attempt at Lynchian surrealism executed with apparently no knowledge of cinematography, lighting, sound, or acting.
The Mind Snatchers (aka “The Happiness Cage”)
Christopher Walken, in his first film role, stars with Ronny Cox in this odd, talky little movie about psychological experiments in which army doctors implant chips into soldiers' pleasure centers…
The Demon Seed
Classic sci-fi/horror about a sentient computer imprisoning a woman in her home with the goal of using her body to become human. Explores existential themes of human existence and personal…
Mr. Robot (TV series)
What to say about this critical fave? A drug-addicted schizophrenic anarchist hacker takes on the forces of corporatism and global-scale evil in this dark cyberthriller series that never lets the…
The Lonely Ones
A couple wakes up to find their house completely surrounded by blackness in which unexplained phantasmagorical visions are sometimes displayed, and spends 2/3 of the movie bickering, 1/6 in "deep"…
10 Items Or Less (TV series)
Seeming like the forced love-child of "Superstore" and quasi-improv post-"The Office" shows like "Parks & Rec", this ensemble show set in a grocery story more closely resembles comedy than any…
Van Wilder
Imagine a movie described as "National Lampoon's Van Wilder, a frat-house comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid". Now picture that same movie, except more crass than you're imagining.
Homicide: Life On The Street (TV series)
Gritty, pretty watchable cop show. The acting is good. The first seasons are better and then it never gets bad, but isn't quite as good for the last few. Still…
No Filter
Views-obsessed "Influencer" gets possessed by an ancient demon or spirit or something that somehow knows how to use YouTube in this atrocious teen scream horror of the unfortunate modern "let's…
Dropbear
Terribly paced, cheaply made splatstick about a bunch of American tourists in Australia who encounter a menacing pack of digitally-generated koalas with glowing eyes and an actor in a very…
After The Outbreak
Cheapo horror flick about a bunch of people holed up in a house during a zombie outbreak. Mostly you don't even see the zombies. So, basically, "Night Of The Living…
