Stranded
(Have to view on YT, it's 'age restriced', not sure why?? All it's about is people stranded on Mars...Bugs Bunny cartoons are more violent than this movie, go figure...and tried posting 'trailer' instead but when type in 'Stranded' you get other films by similar names, with major stars in it...again, go figure)...but still a decent film to watch)
This movie is basically a Gilligan's Island but on the Planet Mars.
I have not finished watching it all yet, about 65% into it, but will say the acting is 'OK', in that you're not particulalry drawn into any of the characters, they all kind of lack relatable personalities, the type of personalities that in real life I doubt would of been chosen for such a mission.
There is one recognizable actor in here who normally plays the 'Villain' in most other movies they've starred in..and they may of been in 'El Chapo', that one Netflix Docu-drama about El Chapo's life before and after capture.
That aside, movie kind of has a sad tone to it, I haven't finished watching it yet so don't know how it ends, but it does have a kind of bleak sad tone to it, so if already in a sad mood, don't watch.
I posted it cause this day and age if any movie can keep my interest for more than 3-5 minutes into it, that's saying something.
More to follow as time allows.

This movie starts getting much more interesting around 70% into it, and that's all I'll say. |

Vivarium
This one for sure worth a watch, although after reading reviews of it later, it's not for everyone.
Depends on your own mind, chess players will probably like it, modern video game types probably won't.
Some movies still require you to think and ponder stuff.

Ruins - 2008
Just got done watching this movie, I classify it as 'sci-fi'/horror, cause although the movies is scary, there's no supernatural element to it.
It's an OK movie, I had no idea it's been out since 2008, which seems like ancient times now.
I watched it on Amazon, and so miss having a dvd player in computer so could watch it there, and cut and slice scenes.
There were a few very fleshy gross scenes that I just skipped over, and a actually 'gotcha' scene where two gals descend down into a large well.
The plot was OK, nothing great, and the characters a bit annoying.
There's a few scenes I might watch again, but the whole movie, nah.

End of Days - 1999
I don't think I've ever watched this movie till now, but for some reason it's now talks to me.
I think cause it stars Arnold Schw, I never wanted to watch it cause it felt to 'big studio' for me, but now that watching it's actually a pretty gritty movie, not a bad flick actually, just depends on where your own mind is at I suppose.

Exists
Posted the movie trailer below.
Not sure if this will air on here, some YT channels funny about allowing their content to air on other sites.
If not, the movie is 'Exists', and it's one of the scariest 'Big Foot' movies I've seen (haven't seen many, so don't have others to compare it to), but as a stand alone movie, it's pretty scary, at least to me.
And I may have to reclassify some of these movies, separate sci-fi from Horror from scary from thrill, I'll do that later.

Spawn - 1997
Of all movies, I'm watching 'Spawn', again.
A very older forgotten Marvel or D.C. Comic dark hero character.
I tell you what though, to have been made way back in 1997, the special effects hold up pretty good.

Robo Cop 2014
Robocop 2014, not a bad movie at all.
I'd say it's every bit as riviting as the original robocop that came out in 1987

Predators 2010
Predators is actually a pretty decent movie.
I think I've seen snippets of it over the years, but always thought of it as a cheap spin off, but now that watching it straight through, I must say this movie holds it's own, and carries the tradition of the first one actually, almost feels like it has the same directors.
And for some reason, for the longest time, I kept thinking the lead actor was Scott Bao, from Happy Days, but I don't think it is, but he sure looks like him.
But ye, for some reason this movie kind of fit my mood tonight.
I'm watching it on Amazon Prime.
