The Specials has some aspects of a young James Gunn personality though the humor is a bit raw as is the plot, which was done better in 1999’s Mystery Men.

The Eleventh Commandment is perhaps the worst kind of bad movie, an all around boring one. I can’t think of one thing that really stands out, not the characters, kills, plot, villains, nothing.

James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction is a must-watch for any fan of cinema, science fiction or otherwise, and while you’re not going to really learn very much new information but do hear from some experts in the genre or involved with it over the years.

Haven isn’t one of the top notch amongst the interconnected ensemble dramas and really doesn’t have a whole lot to say, though thankfully not as heavy-handed but I generally thought the performances were alright at least.

First Snow might not have the strongest writing but performances from both Guy Pearce and J.K. Simmons, albeit a small role, does make this a worthwhile watch.

Wonder Woman in terms of content is a show of its time and I’m sure today’s audiences might have a difficult time sitting through an episode, I still find it fairly entertaining thanks in large part to Lynda Carter’s committed performance.

I usually enjoy these interconnected ensemble movies but Even Money never quite gelled though the performances from Danny DeVito, Tim Roth were rather good, but not enough to make this a must rental or purchase.

Possession had an interesting premise but not enough to stretch it into feature film length or at least provide some consistent story that was engaging rather than a bit on the dull side.

Scoob may not satisfy hard-core fans of this long-running franchise but I found it mildly entertaining and the CGI animation was pretty good and for the most part liked the voice casting.

Force of Nature isn’t the worst movie around and from a technical perspective, like most of these Grindstone/EFO pictures, competently made, but the script, and in particular the finale, needed some work.
