  Barb Wire 1996

  ★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025 2

  Despite the borderline Skinemax tone and being accused of a rip lff of Casablanca (I haven't seen it), this action dystopia has spunk that I enjoy.

  Trashy, explosive, based off a Dark Horse comic, and mid 90's AF. A few fight scenes are edited to avoid the showing of the stunt doubles' faces and it feels like I'm watching a music video (David Hogan directed music videos) due to said editing. However, the cinematography is stylish, the music fits even if it belongs on MTV, and the finale are a blast.

  2nd American Civil War? 2017? If this was made today, it's still relevant.

  SCP: Overlord 2020

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Sep 2023

  Made for $23,000 and filmed at a farm house. Excellent usage of lighting, editing, and writing in a utility sense.

  Hollywood, take notes.

  Asteroid 1997

  ★★½ Watched 24 Jan 2024 2

  I finally managed to track down an unedited broadcast of this.

  I used to find near Earth objects frightening but really, the 2nd half drags down to a boring search and rescue. The model work is fine but no ID4 quality.

  However, I'll watch for Michael Biehn. That man never puts in a bad performance.
