Alien: Covenant
★★★★★ Liked Rewatched

I am settling in for a showing of ‘Alien: Covenant’ and the theater is PACKED!

Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks.

“Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch fun movies. I’m here to see the brutal, punishing Alien movie Ridley Scott made to make sure fans regret ever asking for “more Alien.””

The man’s two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his…

3000 Nights

Watch 3000 Nights here.

Haunting yet powerful at the same time. A story about resistance and survival.

At this point, it is sad to watch projects like Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. This is the kind…

The Sheep Detectives
★★★½ Watched

Okay, okay, I’ll admit it. The Sheep Detectives caught me off guard. From the trailers, the marketing, and just the overall vibe of it, I was expecting a pretty standard, inoffensive family movie that I respectfully would never run out to theaters to see. It just had that energy. But the more I kept hearing about it in passing, and the more I saw that it had pretty respectable ratings across the board, I started wondering what exactly The Sheep…

A triumph. A spectacle. A film that will instantly become a classic in its own right, but a movie younger generations will look back on as core memories that will define them, just as so many films have for us from when we were younger. Just wow.

Legit one of the best examples of "show don't tell" I think I've ever seen. This film should be taught in all film schools.
