Alien Covenant

*Warning:  This review will have spoilers Prometheus, this ain’t. While Prometheus had a strong theme about the question of where we come from, Covenant takes that theme and beats it like a rug. I will say it adds a lot to the Alien mythology, but I’m not really sure I like where it is taken. […]

My Top 100 Movies – Part 9: #20 – #11

About the list Please note that these are my favourite films, and as such some choices will be based on a personal sense of nostalgia (especially the top 5, once we eventually get there).  There are movies that I have connections to that may rank them higher than you might expect.  That being said, if […]

Prometheus

“Prometheus has landed.” Prometheus sees Ridley Scott returning to the sci-fi genre. The only problem is that Scott is a very hit-or-miss director for me.

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

5. The Avengers The Avengers has become more of a spectacle than a film. But that’s okay, I’m willing to take part in the spectacle. This movie has been hyped up since Iron Man in 2008 so I highly doubt that it will meet those expectations. Still, having that many superheroes in one movie together […]

The Blu-ray Files #002

Alien – The new blu-ray release of Alien is simply fantastic.  The images are pristine and sharp and looks amazing for a film from the 70s.  The spaceships shots from outer space look fantastic and the interiors look just like they’re supposed to look.  An amazing release.   – Apocalypse Now – One of the […]

My Top Ten Movies of the 70s

10. All the President’s Men (1976) President’s Men is a truly solid film full of intrigue and investigation. Redford and Hoffman are great as always and the realist atmosphere set by director Alan Pakula is unique and refreshing. 9. The Godfather Part 2 (1974) Many people claim that Godfather 2 is better than the original. […]
