Alien: Covenant
Published on
I remember how excited everybody was when it was announced Ridley Scott would return to the Alien franchise and make a prequel to his breakthrough movie: Prometheus. It would revolve around the Space Jockeys briefly seen in the original Alien. An interesting concept, but one that failed in my opinion. It’s been 5 years since…

Alien: Resurrection
Published on
I’m pretty sure everybody thought the disappointing Alien 3 would be the last of the series. Sure why wouldn’t it be: The last Alien to exist was a queen but she was growing inside Ripley who at the end of Alien 3 committed suicide by giving her a Terminator death when she threw herself into…

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
Published on
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is a title which should be applied to a feature in which the audience is shown how to do exactly that, preferbly in a humoristic way. If the movie was starring John Cleese that would be the case, but it doesn’t.This movie stars Simon Pegg, also British and…

Alien 3
Published on
I watched this movie for the first time in 1993. I was 14, maybe 15. It was a summerday and we decided to go to the videorentalstore. Not having seen any of the previous entries I thought it wouldn’t matter because it looked like a fairly standalone movie and most of the time you get…

Aliens
Published on
Aliens is the perfectly titled sequel to Alien. It’s more original than just “Alien 2” and covers the contents of the movie more because this time there are more than one of those acid-bleeding monsters. If just one can wipe out an entire space ship, you should see what a 100 of these generally unpleasant…

In 1979 Ridley Scott decided to mix Jaws up with 2001: A Space Odessy. The result was a sci-fi horror movie called Alien. Now, decades later the movie has become a classic, spawned several direct sequels and even a spin-off in the form of the Aliens Vs Predators movies (which is a weird title considering…

Fast forward almost five years, and behold, “The Marvels” has become Marvel’s most colossal flop to date. How the tides have turned.

Secret Invasion puts the limits of the MCU on display in horrible fashion
Published on
Secret Invasion came to an end this week with a finale that introduced the strongest character in the MCU yet: G’iah. A Skrull who gained the powers of almost all of the Avengers, including that of Captain Marvel. How they will incorporate her in the future remains to be seen, but her mere existence poses…

Thor: Love and Thunder
Published on
The first two standalone Thor movies didn’t do the character much good. Widely considered to belong to the lower echelon of Marvel movies, hopes were not high when Thor: Ragnarok was announced. But director Taika Waititi did something new with the character and the world around him: make it actually fun to watch. After the…

Captain Marvel
Published on
Of all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Captain Marvel is probably the most aggressively marketed movie. Not in terms of shear marketing amount, but rather by a sly old trick often used in comic books. Have an existing popular comic book continue in a more obscure or new comic so readers will have…

Eternals
Published on
My knowledge of Marvel Comics characters is a bit more substantial than the average person since I read a lot of comics during the late 80s and early 90s, but Eternals is an unknown property to me. I was always more into the more grounded stuff like Spider-man, X-men and Avengers. The cosmic side of…
