Alien 3 proves that too much of a good thing leads to stupidity. 'Alien' is simply the best horror sci-fi of all time. 'Aliens' is one of the best sequels ever. Poor old Alien 3 had some hard luck, especially when your predecessors are that amazin... Read the full review »

My Life As A Courgette is a delicate mature drama disguised as a child-friendly animation. Sure, children can watch this and be entertained by the cutesy animation. Just do not, I repeat, do not go into this thinking it has no substance. The first... Read the full review »

The Thing hosts the best use of practical effects I've ever seen. I knew I was in for a good time due to the massive cult following, but damn I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Having watched the sequel/prequel first, I was aware of... Read the full review »
