Dexter Resurrection: Call Me Red

"To new friends!"

I had no idea what to expect of this "dinner party." Certainly not how much fun it would turn out to be.

Eddington

Hindsight is 2020

Here we have a neo-western flavored satire focusing on the conflict and hysteria generated by COVID-19. Assuming our society has managed to not totally disintegrate in the near future, I suspect we’ll be seeing more movies like this which explore the particular era of American history we’re living through.

Resident Alien: The Upper Hand

Sheriff Mike: Go on and make your foot naked. Let's see it.
Ben: I'm gonna say no. Uh – possible HR violation.
Mike: Yeah, that is a pretty foot. You got yourself a dancer's arch.

Evil: Rose390

"Ben the Magnificent!"

Federal Statute 38746-4/A(3): Every television genre show must, at some point in its run, do an episode about a creepy, possessed child. See appendix b RE: standard definitions of 'creepy,' 'possessed,' and 'child.'

Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Shuttle to Kenfori

"You're not a monster, Joseph. Just a man. And my friend."

For a show that tends to boldly go where no one has gone before, I have to admit I never thought they would go towards such an iconic horror trope...

Dexter Resurrection: Backseat Driver

"Only in New York."

And Dexter is back and killing.

Santa Jaws

"Ho ho ho, you son of a fish."

Merry Christmas in July! Did you know that there is a sharky Christmas movie involving a Santa hat wearing great white shark? Because there is. And it's actually kind of great.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

"I'm not giving up. We will face this together. We will fight it together... as a family."

Was this a by-the-numbers MCU flick with snappy dialogue and occasionally wonky special effects? Or was this a fun, exciting new entry into a tired franchise, injecting fresh ideas, exciting new characters and interesting villains? In a lot of ways it was both.

Conan the Destroyer (1984)

“His horn is his life! Tear out the horn!”

You can tell what kind of film Conan the Destroyer is going to be right from the very start as Mako delivers a slightly reworked version of the saga sell from the first film, only this time with all the passion and commitment of Harrison Ford doing his infamous Blade Runner narration.

Resident Alien: Lone Wolf

"All the best superheroes have sidekicks. Even Superman has Lois Lane. If you have the right person on your team, they do not hold you back. They lift you up."

Episode description: "In an attempt to gather information on the Grey aliens, Harry puts Asta in harm's way."

Star Trek Strange New Worlds: Wedding Bell Blues

"And the bar is open."

Bang. A favorite decades-long fan theory has just become canon.

Shark Side of the Moon

"Why are there sharks on the moon?"

You know, sometimes you don't even need to watch a trailer or see a movie poster to know the quality of the movie that you're about to subject yourself to. Sometimes the movie's title is more than enough.
