Ciaran’s Top 3

3. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Play

Directed by: Timur Bekmambetov
Screenplay by: Seth Grahame-Smith
Based on: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
Starring: Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rufus Sewell, Marton Csokas

Synopsis: When his country is threatened by a ferocious group of vampires, Abraham Lincoln sets out on a mission to eliminate them.

It’s such a terrible movie that it’s so good. His axe has a shotgun in it. And it’s like “by the way, American slavery was because of vampires”… It’s that bad but it’s so good.

2. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

Play

Directed by: Bryan Spicer
Screenplay by: Arne Olsen
Story by: John Kamps, Arne Olsen
Starring: Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Jason David Frank, Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, Paul Freeman

Synopsis: When a mysterious giant egg releases the terrible Ivan Ooze, the Power Rangers head to a distant planet to gain new powers and save Earth.

Teenagers with attitude, a villain called Ivan Ooze whose master plan was soda-can brainwashing — it’s great fun. The best Power Rangers movie they’ve ever released.

1. My Name Is Earl

Play

Created by: Greg Garcia
Starring: Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jaime Pressly, Nadine Velazquez, Eddie Steeples

Synopsis: After losing a lottery ticket, petty criminal Earl decides to make amends for his past misdeeds to turn his luck around.

My late childhood and early teens were very much spent watching this. Great comedy with underlying serious themes and messages that I really enjoyed.

Dylan’s Top 3

Play

Created by: Will Forte
Starring: Will Forte, Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mel Rodriguez, Cleopatra Coleman, Mary Steenburgen

Synopsis: In 2022, Phil Miller searches the country for other survivors after a mysterious event wipes out humanity.

I only watched two of the four seasons, but the show is really funny. It kept getting better — I’m excited to finish it.

2. Raising Arizona

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, Trey Wilson, William Forsythe, John Goodman, Frances McDormand, Sam McMurray, Randall “Tex” Cobb

Synopsis: Unable to adopt because of Hi’s criminal past, a couple kidnaps one of a rich businessman’s quintuplets.

Probably my favourite Nicolas Cage movie — one of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched. Can’t wait to revisit.

1. Love, Victor

This spin-off from one of my favourite 2018 films is the first original show I’m jumping into on Star. I’m excited for it.

Ashley’s Top 3

3. Futurama

The best thing Matt Groening created, hands down. Beautifully animated, consistently great — now’s the time to dive in.

2. The Orville

Starring: Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnson Jerald, Scott Grimes, Peter Macon, Halston Sage, J. Lee, Mark Jackson, Jessica Szohr

More a Star Trek homage than an outright comedy — underrated and gets better as it goes along.
