When a fatal accident occurs on board the International Space Station, a lone astronaut makes the heroic journey back to Earth, only to discover key pieces of her life—including her young daughter—have changed. I had such high hopes for this series, but alas, I was only able to stomach about 3 episodes before I gave up on it. The acting is just fine, but the story is overwrought and wants to be more mysterious than it actually is. Buy On Amazon!
Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter Parker he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. It’s been a full week since I’ve seen “Spider-man: Brand New Day” and during that time it’s started to close in on nearly 2 BILLION dollars in box office income, which is...

When a mutating, highly contagious fungus escapes a sealed facility, two employees – joined by a grizzled bioterror operative – must survive the wildest night shift ever to save humanity from extinction. This was as fun as I was hoping it was going to be, it’s tightly scripted with local problems that could become global problems if the local problems aren’t nipped in the bud in a timely manner. Enjoyable! Buy On Amazon!
After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor. To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela and Duncan/Man-At-Arms, and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe. A perfectly enjoyable film, I’m sad I wasn’t able to experience on the big screen, as many of the action pieces had some really fun visuals, including some MCU bifrost inspired interstellar travel. I’m hopeful that this does well...
When diabolical genius Dr. Evil travels back in time to steal superspy Austin Powers’s ‘mojo,’ Austin must return to the swingin’ ’60s himself – with the help of American agent, Felicity Shagwell – to stop the dastardly plan. Once there, Austin faces off against Dr. Evil’s army of minions to try to save the world in his own unbelievably groovy way. The second of the series, this is the superior movie of them all.

As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction. It’s streaming on Amazon Prime now and I enjoyed it for what it was, a fun but rushed adaptation of a book that I really liked starring an actor that I’m still on the fence...

When Captain...
As a swinging fashion photographer by day and a groovy British superagent by night, Austin Powers is the ’60s’ most shagadelic spy. But can he stop megalomaniac Dr. Evil after the bald villain freezes himself and unthaws in the ’90s? With the help of sexy sidekick Vanessa Kensington, he just might. I got all three of these movies to watch, a situation that I’m still not sure why I set myself up for. There’s plenty of fun to be had here, but why revisit them? Most of the jokes are pretty timeless with only a few that didn’t age well....
