Jan 19, 2008Alien/Predator Series' Crossover
Second of the Alien/Predator crossovers and the absolute nadir of either series. Gone is the suspense of either series' earlier entries and the creatures are now no more than standard monsters in a teen horror film

Rating: ★★★
Apr 15, 2017Giant Ape
Not a sequel but a reboot where King Kong is now part of a shared universe. This means we get less a tragic love story about Kong falling for a girl and being brought down by civilisation than Kong has become a heroic defender fighting off other monsters

Feb 17, 2018Experiment Opens Up Alternate Timeline
The third of J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield films. This is set on a space station thing and has an alternate timeline plot but seems disinterested in little more than creating a bizarre effect every few minutes

Mar 17, 2019Scientist Clones His Dead Family
Whatever you want to say about his acting ability, Keanu Reeves represents a cool and has smarts in the projects he takes on. So when he takes a producing role as here, you feel it is a project you should pay attention to. Instead, the cloning film that he makes is absolutely laughable and should contend for an award for the SF film with the least plausible science in it

Apr 6, 2019Transformers Spinoff
Spinoff from Michael Bay's Transformers films. As though all it took was a change of director, this becomes a quite enjoyable film. Rather than another of Bay's orgies of mass destruction, this is a small sweet film that has more in common with E.T.
