If you are looking for insanely wacky fun, do I have the movie for you. The unapologetically bizarre Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die stars Sam Rockwell as an unnamed man claiming to be from the future who holds a diner full of patrons hostage, with what may or may not be a bomb vest, demanding volunteers for a suicide mission to help him save the world. Along the way, neither director Gore Verbinski nor screenwriter Matthew Robinson will pull any punches as to why this world needs saving.

As the film opens, Raven has already been strapped to an electric chair and forced to prove his innocence to an Artificial Intelligence (played by Rebecca Ferguson) who has already judged him guilty.

Taking a few good-natured shots at the worst of the Star Wars films (Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones), Duck Dodgers (Jeff Bennett) comes up with an ingenuous way to stop a fleet of alien monsters about to attack the Earth by cloning an army of robotic versions of himself. For a Duck Dodgers plan, it’s an unqualified success. However, dealing with the rampaging robot ducks afterwards turns out to be an entirely new problem in need of a solution.

  • Title: Ash
  • IMDb: link

I enjoy amnesiac stories, whether the character is missing just a day or their entire lives, and watching the process of them solving the mystery of who they are (ending in the obvious question of whether, through that process, they are still the same person). I’m also a sucker for both sci-fi and Eiza González who is certainly the highlight cast in the central role of a space explorer waking up on an alien planet with all of the other crew dead and no idea what happened.
