The Last Starship (2017)
Truly low budget oddball gem
This is a movie that is just bizarre. It's part classic post apocalyptic, part sci-fi space raiders, and part societal commentary. Half the foreign cast looks like famous western actors, mostly. There seem to be subplots that aren't fully explored. The special effects for as low budget as it is are surprisingly good. They did a great job of using garbage for gold costume wise and set dressing wise. Parts of it make sense and parts just seem to be story lines that were meant to be cut, but they didn't get all of it. Now don't get me wrong by the star rating, this isn't a good movie, but in terms of bad movies, it's outstanding. Keep an open mind, and enjoy how much they did with so little.
Avenue 5 (2020)
Absolutely On the Mark Funny
Avenue 5 is hilarious, but in the same way Monty Python or Red Dwarf was hilarious. It's not meant to be serious, it's meant to be 3 ticks of center. I think this may turn out to be one of the big hits of the year, that just takes a while for everyone to get on board. The cast is great, the premise is excellent, and the comedic timing of both the writing and the cast. If you're expecting lots of character background and world creation, this show is not for you. But if you want solid dry humor done really well, you'll appreciate it.
