I Still See You (2018)
Set ten years after an apocalyptic event that killed millions and left the world inhabited by ghosts.
Although this movie is nicely made, has atmosphere and some well-staged scenes, it is hamstrung by a wildly far-fetched plot based on a likewise implausible premise.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Season 2 (2018)
In the Season Two premiere, Midge takes the stage for a foreign audience, while Abe and Rose find themselves in a new world. Susie experiences the repercussions of having a bad reputation in the business, as Joel regroups after quitting his job.
The second season successfully continues in the same quality as before - complete with a meandering plot, with Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein holding the show together with their brilliant performances.

I Kill Giants (2017)
Barbara Thorson struggles through life by escaping into a fantasy life of magic and monsters.
Wonderfully stirring tale of friendship and loss, embedded in child's fantasy world, convinces in all departments, especially with Madison Wolfe's powerful performance.
Ice Quake (2010)
Beneath the Alaskan landscape, the melting permafrost is about to drastically alter the tranquil scenery.
Pretty bad TV disaster movie comes along with disappointing effects, stonelike performances and silly science.

Wrong Turn at Tahoe (2009)
A small-time crime boss kills a drug dealer without realizing that the drug dealer works for the biggest crime boss in the country.
Above-average crime thriller with a good cast is tough and very violent, but worth the watch.
Getaway (2013)
To save his kidnapped wife, Brent Magna must drive at the orders of a mysterious man.
Basically just one endless car chase with lots of crashes throwing off any interest on the plot along the way.
Maltin*1/2: "Predictable thriller consists mainly of one car chase after another."
