Or as the official tagline goes, 65 million years ago prehistoric earth had a visitor... Whichever you prefer, 65 is a pulp fiction combining dinosaur action with science fiction thrills. The results are sometimes uneven - more intriguing than captivating - but thanks to brisk pacing and likable performances, there's simply not enough time for … Continue reading 65 Million Years Ago a Spaceman Blasted Dinosaurs in the Face | Review

Under the Skin | Review
The human body is a ravishing enigma in Under the Skin (2013)—a landscape concealing a vast multitude of secrets. The kind of sci-fi film that uses the possibility of alien life to question the essence of our own, Jonathan Glazer’s third feature churns along on its overpowering audio-visual wavelength, intimating a story of death and alienation … Continue reading Under the Skin | Review

The Predator (2018)
*Spoilers* Rarely does a film leave your mouth agape as much as this entry in the Predator franchise. Sometimes bold, sometimes stupid, sometimes boldly stupid; The Predator is a helluva ride.

Predators (2010)
Three years after Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, 20th Century Fox welcomed fans back to the jungle. Not only is Predators a return to familiar stomping - er, hunting - grounds, but it manages to provide enough twists and turns to prove itself more than a soft-reboot. Director: Nimrod AntalWritten by: Alex Litvak. Michael FinchRuntime: 107 minutesUS Release: July 9, … Continue reading Predators (2010)
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
*Spoilers* The follow up to 2004's clumsy - but overall solid - Alien vs. Predator, proves that more is not always better. Sometimes more runs counter to any hopes of artistic coherence.

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

AndersonRuntime: 101 minutesUS Release: August 13, 2004; 20th Century Fox Set in 2004, a team of researchers (and mercenaries?) explore a recently discovered pyramid hidden under the ice of Antarctica. … Continue reading AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Killdozer (1974)
Killdozer is two things at once: an amazing portmanteau and a lackluster TV movie. Seemingly inspired by the success of 1971’s Duel, ABC tried capturing lightning-in-a-killer-vehicle twice. Like Duel, Killdozer is based on a short story by a noted author; Theodore Sturgeon penned the sci-fi tale for Astounding Science Fiction in 1944. Director: Jerry LondonRuntime: 74 minutesUS … Continue reading Killdozer (1974)
