Battlestar Galactica (2003 - Mini Series)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol by the Cylons, a rag-tag fugitive fleet of the last remnants of mankind flees the pursuing Cylons while simultaneously searching for their true home: Earth.
Absolute masterpiece. It’s rare when a 70s Sci-fi gets remade well, but man, they landed this. The suspense, the world building (and destroying), the writing, the acting, the cinematography, everything is superlative. Starring a plethora of fantastic actors, like Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Michael Hogan, only to name a few. This is the first chapter of the great saga that spawned a four-season TV series, a spin-off and several other TV movies. This definitely gets seven popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

BlackBerry (2023)
🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
The story of the meteoric rise and catastrophic demise of the world’s first smartphone.
Matt Johnson has a great skill of playing an annoying idiot and that makes him a good actor. On the other hand, the rest of the cast is spot on and the Blackberry story is interesting and gripping. Four popcorns.

Ferrari (2023)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Set in the summer of 1957, with Enzo Ferrari’s auto empire in crisis, the ex-racer turned entrepreneur pushes himself and his drivers to the edge as they launch into the Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy.
Even if you don’t like cars, this movie is beyond beautiful. It’s poetry in motion, and a masterpiece that reflects the masterpieces that the Ferraris of the 50’s were. Using some great camerawork which reminds me a bit of Wolfgang von Trips’s “home videos”, in addition to great acting by Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, this is a movie worth seeing on a big screen. Five popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

F1 (2025)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
A Formula One driver comes out of retirement to mentor and team up with a younger driver.
Made by Joseph Kosinski, this is basically Top Gun with Formula 1 cars. The story is passable, the classic old tale of a has-been turning things around for a young blood team mate. However, the special effects and F1 footage are top notch and make this for a very enjoyable watch. Sure, it’s far from the all-great classics like Grand Prix or Le Mans, but it’s a good watch. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Eddington (2025)
🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.
Putting Joaquin Phoenix, Deirdre O’Connell, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal make a good appeareance in a slow, annoying and bleak Covid movie. Three popcorns.

The Majestic (2001)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
In 1951, a blacklisted Hollywood writer gets into a car accident, loses his memory and settles down in a small town where he is mistaken for a long-lost son.
What happens when you get Jim Carrey (coming straight after “Man on the Moon”, “Me, Myself & Irene”, and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”) and Frank Darabont (whose previous movies “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” were masterpieces)? Add a bit of Bob Balaban, Martin Landau, Hal Holbrock and Laurie Holden, sprinkle some David Ogden Stiers and what you get is an excellent drama. While credited for being one of the early “serious” movies starring Jim Carrey, it took him out of the “very funny” movies and put him into the “incredibly versatile” category of actors. And while Jim Carrey is very good, Martin Landau is absolutely Majestic in the role of the father. Seven popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Foundation (2021-)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
A complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.
Based on the works of Isaac Asimov, this is another slam-dunk from Apple TV+, coming with a good twisted story, great visuals, good acting and excellent music. Not having read anything from the Foundation series, I find the TV incarnation more than excellent. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022-)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
A prequel to Star Trek (1966), this series follows the crew of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike.
After two excellent seasons, the third one seems to drop the ball every now and then. However, the sets are well made, the acting is decent and the writing is good, which make SNW to be the best recent Star Trek series out there. Five popcorns.

Fish Police (1992)
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Inspector Gill, a fish detective, navigates an underwater metropolis, solving often Mafia-related crimes while avoiding the seduction of vamp Angel Jones and avoiding marriage to diner owner Pearl.
Absolute unit of a TV series, unfortunately it got cancelled after 6 episodes. True, the jokes are absolutely bonkers (and/or dad jokes), but the entire vibe and tone landed so well back in the day, it’s amazing. Moreover, the voice actors include Edward Asner, Tim Curry, Hector Elizondo, Robert Guillaume, Buddy Hackett, JoBeth Williams, Megan Mullally and the great John Ritter as Inspector Gill. Five popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

Caprica (2009-2010)
🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
Two families, the Graystones and the Adamas, live together on a peaceful planet known as Caprica, where a startling breakthrough in artificial intelligence brings about unforeseen consequences.
Watch the entire prequel series to understand how the Cylons were created and for more insight on the pre-war culture and civilization of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. It stars Eric Stoltz as Daniel Graystone, Esai Morales as Joseph Adama, Alessandra Torresani as Zoe Graystone and Polly Walker as Sister Clarice Willow. Too bad it got cancelled after the first season, cramming about four extra seasons of story into the second half of the first season, but in the end, it’s a solid retro-futuristic virtual reality cyberpunk sci-fi drama. I saw this back in 2010, weekly when each episode was released, and it’s a good starting point for the series, although it’s not actually mandatory. It is a bit slow burning at times, a bit annoying at other times (I kinda hate the mother, so this means she plays it well) and liked a lot the combination between technology, politics, religion and mobsters. Four popcorns.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012)
🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
The movie bridges the gap between Caprica and Battlestar Galactica very nicely, following a young Adama in the midst of the Cylon war.
A lot of bright lights, lens flares and motion sickness inducing camera movements, but comes in strong with great CGI and an even better story. Young Adama is an annoying jock, but kinda sparks due to the others’ performances being fairly mid. Three popcorns.

Leave the World Behind (2023)
🍿🍿🍿🍿 / 5 • IMDb Link
A family’s getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyberattack knocks out their devices, and two strangers appear at their door.
If it’s a mysterious techno-psychological thriller, make sure you have Sam Esmail on board. It’s dark, twisted, pressing and makes you want to know what happens next. It’s slow burning, but it’s not a necessarily bad thing, Julia Roberts playing an average woman, Ethan Hawke the average family dad, and Mahershala Ali smacking that role as the mysterious stranger. Four popcorns.
