Appleseed Alpha (2014) [/] Japanese/American OVA prequel to Appleseed. In post-apocalyptic Earth the full-human Deunan (Luci Christian) and mostly-cyborg Briareos (David Matranga) team up with two agents from the mythical Olympus in order to destroy a giant prototype walker 'mech before Talos (Josh Sheltz), a rogue Olympian, seizes it and uses it to conquer the New York area… I liked Appleseed and it had great CGI which did not come through as I watched this on YouTube.
The Greatest Hits (2024) [/] Starts in media res. By listening to songs Harriet (Lucy Boynton) can travel back in time (for the duration of the song) to when the song was playing in her past when her boyfriend was present. She's trying to save him but always fails. And then she meets David (Justin H Min) and a new romance is not what she needs when she has this mission… Interesting concept competently executed.
Cruise (2018) [-] Set in 1980's New York. Italian-American Gio (Spencer Boldman) spends his time drag racing, stealing car radios and cruising for girls. He meets "Francesca" (Emily Ratajkowski) and immediately falls for her. She in turns wants a little adventure for her this is a Summer fling. Things get a little heated when they break into a car and find a brick of cocaine… Small budget film, not all that interesting, not sure the cocaine subplot adds to the movie.
Alignable [-] Based on the invite link I thought this was a site for vendors to get customer references and recommendations. No it's more like a typical B2B connections site and they're pretty aggressive about connecting you to vendors that then want to sell to you. I was trying to be nice to our vendor but this was a mistake.
