Across the Spiderverse (2023)

 

The sequel to Into the Spiderverse. This finds Miles Morales once again teaming up with Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker and a whole new host of Spidermans to stop a villain that was created in the previous movie. It’s a fun movie even if it ended on a major cliffhanger that has yet to be resolved and I found Spiderman Miguel to be extremely annoying. I did enjoy the reference to Spiderman: No Way Home though as another multidimensional Spiderman movie. 

Green Lantern (2011)

 

I don’t think this movie deserves all the hate it gets. Is it good? Not really. Is the CGI horrible? Yes. But hey, Ryan, it got you out of the romcoms and you met your current wife on set. Anyway, the movie follows Hal Jordan, a pilot, who is chosen to be the next Green Lantern. It has a few fun references to other franchises when he is trying to access his lantern. It’s a stupid superhero movie and I still kind of like it. 

The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1987)

 

Jane Watson is bankrupt. She has to sell her English country estate belonging to John Watson (yes, that John Watson). When she goes in, she finds a cryogenic chamber containing one Sherlock Holmes who had come down with Bubonic Plague when he received a booby trapped gift. After curing Holmes, they both go back to America. Jane and Holmes are then pulled into a modern mystery greatly resembling the classic Conan Doyle story “The Sign of the Four.” It is really a decent modern Holmes story. 

Rogue One (2016)

 

Taking place shortly before the events of A New Hope, Rogue One is about the people trying to get the plans for the Death Star safely into the Rebellion’s hands. There are no Jedi, although Chirrut Imwe is a sort of Force wielder. What I loved about this movie is that it was all new characters. Yes Darth Vader makes an appearance and so does an AI Moff Tarkin. Bail Organa does make an appearance. And a bad AI Princess Leia. But for the most part the main characters are people completely new to the franchise. So you don’t know how their story is going to end. And it’s refreshing. 

Rodan (1956)

 

When a mining company digs far down into the earth, they awaken Rodan a giant pterodactyl like creature capable of flying at supersonic speeds. Part of the Toho Godzilla series. It’s stupid, but still fun!

Only a Tranq by ValmureEld

A little one shot where Claire is freaking out because Owen was shot with a raptor tranquilizer in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. It’s short and it’s fun.

The Undiscovered Country (1991)

 

In this movie, Kirk and McCoy are accused of killing a Klingon High Chancellor and sentenced to life imprisonment on a prison planet. The crew of the Enterprise, not believing that their captain would do such a thing despite his issues with the klingons, set off to rescue them and thwart a conspiracy to end hostilities with the klingons. One of the better original Star Trek movies.
