Abrams. The Star Wars: The Force … Continue reading Check Out the J.J. Abrams Directed Jimmy Kimmel Childhood Comic Book with Ben Affleck & More!!!
Netflix’s latest drama, Gypsy, is a 10-part psychological thriller that stars Naomi Watts as a therapist who gets a bit too involved with her patients’ lives. As we saw in the teaser trailer, Watts’ Jean has some impulse control issues with it comes to both her sexual appetite and her desire to emotionally manipulate her clients. As stellar as Watts is, there’s something a little tired … Continue reading ‘Gypsy’ Trailer: Naomi Watts Loses Control of Her Desires in Netflix’s Latest!!! Check It Out!!
Synopsis – The crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape. My Take – Does anyone remember how director Ridley Scott made confound denials that his 2012 film Prometheus had nothing do with the Alien franchise? Well we all know how that turned out. While, I am … Continue reading Alien: Covenant (2017) Review!!!
Another day, another Netflix series. The streaming giant is trying to kill all of us who write about TV by releasing at least one new series every single week. Enough! And yet … their new series Gypsy (which came out of nowhere for me) is sort of like In Treatment meets Californication. Or something. It stars Naomi Watts as a Manhattan therapist who ends up … Continue reading ‘Gypsy’ Teaser Trailer: Naomi Watts Promises to Do No Harm in Netflix’s New Series!!! Check It Out!!!
As part of the Alien Day celebration, 20th Century Fox has released “The Crossing”, a new, official prologue to Ridley Scott‘s Alien: Covenant that not only reveals the fates of Elizabeth Shaw and the android David after the events of Prometheus, but also stars Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender in their former roles. That’s a pretty big deal considering that this sequence is not expected to be part … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’ Prologue Reveals the Fate of Shaw and David Post-‘Prometheus’!!! Check It Out!!
Oh (alien) baby, some new images from Ridley Scott‘s Alien: Covenant have burst forth online and boy are they teasing some interesting things. We’re now less than a month from the film’s international rollout and opening date in the U.S., so hopefully we can keep from being completely spoiled before then, but fair warning, these images do show some potential spoilers; folks who’d rather go in completely … Continue reading New ‘Alien: Covenant’ Images Include a Nasty Neomorph Chowing Down!!!

The stage has been set for Ridley Scott‘s Alien: Covenant and most of the players have been revealed, including the return of Prometheus star Michael Fassbender as the android David. His character survived the horrors of that previous film, though he wasn’t exactly whole by the end of it, but there was another explorer who escaped with him: Noomi Rapace‘s Elizabeth Shaw. Now, a new video–which was only revealed thanks to … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’ TV Spot Provides Clues to the Fate of Elizabeth Shaw!!! Check It Out!!!
If you’ve been on Twitter at all in the 24 hours, you’ll know that everyone has lost their ever-loving mind over the Walking Dead season finale. This is not a particularly surprising occurrence for the finale of AMC’s juggernaut series but it’s become memorably animated on social media over the last 15 minutes. The wait to find out who comes out on top by the … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’: Trio of TV Spots Gives New Glances at Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ Sequel!!
There’s a new poster for Alien: Covenant, and it’s bringing a classical air to (scary) proceedings. The image was released by 20th Century Fox via Twitter, with an appropriately Biblical outlook to the accompanying text (which has already appeared in earlier promos for the movie): “The path to paradise begins in hell.” That tone is matched by the image itself, which at once calls back … Continue reading Space Is Hell in New ‘Alien: Covenant’ Poster!!! Check It Out!!!
Michael Fassbender is doing double duty for Alien: Covenant. The actor is not only returning as the megalomaniacal synthetic David introduced in Prometheus, he’s also playing Walter, a new model of A.I. stripped of David’s pesky human qualities. 20th Century Fox has revealed a new video introducing Walter, the synthetic aboard the Covenant, the terraforming spacecraft at the heart of Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus follow-up. As … Continue reading Creepy ‘Alien: Covenant’ Video Introduces Michael Fassbender’s New Synthetic, Walter!! Check It Out!!
Ridley Scott likes to move fast. Which, for his age and for the kinds of movies he makes, is kind of incredible. At 79 the guy is churning out almost a movie a year, but these aren’t Woody Allen comedies or Clint Eastwood dramas—they’re big, brash blockbusters like Prometheus and Exodus: Gods and Kings and The Martian. He most recently completed the Prometheus follow-up Alien: … Continue reading Ridley Scott Says the Next ‘Alien’ Movie Is Already Written!!!

When Prometheus arrived back in 2012, nobody was expecting to meet the Engineers. Heralded as Ridley Scott‘s return to the Alien franchise he founded almost forty years ago, Prometheus steered clear of Alien‘s most famous iconography in favor of a new story set in the same world. And it wasn’t until the very end of the film that we started to see how that story … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’: The Engineers Are Still a Major Part of the Mythology!!!

20th Century Fox has released an extended prologue for Alien: Covenant that teases director Ridley Scott’s Prometheus follow-up. The film tracks the crew of the colony ship Covenant as they discover what they think is an uncharted paradise but is actually a dangerous world with a sole inhabitant: Michael Fassbender’s David. This prologue is not actually part of the film but is a short film directed by Scott’s son Luke … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’: 5-Minute Prologue Reveals the Last Supper of the Covenant Crew!! Check it Out!!
Synopsis – The story of three women who explore love and freedom in Southern California during the late 1970s. My Take – Despite the great acclaim the film received at the New York Film Festival last fall, something about this film, especially the title seemed to put me off. It’s not that I have anything against film revolving around feminism or coming to age kind … Continue reading 20th Century Women (2017) Review!!!
On the heels of Shane Black revealing the cast for his sci-fi franchise sequel yesterday in the form of a The Predator ensemble photo, 20th Century Fox is giving Alien: Covenant the chance to shine today with a cast photo of its own.

It’s almost the end of the year and Fox still hasn’t released a trailer for Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s sequel to Prometheus and another precursor to the original Alien films. This could all change very soon, as a new batch of images released over social media seems to be counting down to … something. It’s all very hush hush. But, at the very least, we … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’: James Franco Confirms Role as Teaser Images Debut!! Check It Out!!
Synopsis – Following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy fights through grief and trauma to regain her faith, console her children, and define her husband’s historic legacy.

Nothing says “Happy Thanksgiving” like a chestburster at the dinner table. 20th Century Fox dropped a little pre-Thanksgiving surprise tonight by unveiling the very first poster for Alien: Covenant, director Ridley Scott’s follow-up to Prometheus. It’s an unnerving one-sheet that relies on the iconography of H.R. Giger’s Alien design, signaling to fans that this Prometheus sequel will very much tie into the Alien franchise as a whole. But the poster also carries … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’ Release Date Moved Up to May 2017; First Poster Revealed!!

The Flash is having a bumpy run to the big screen. While the character previously made his big screen debut earlier this year in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and had a small cameo in Suicide Squad, his solo film has been running into difficulties.

There aren’t many actors who are quite as reliable as Billy Crudup. Occasionally, he’s outright brilliant, as in Cameron Crowe’s lovely Almost Famous, Jesus’ Son, Public Enemies, Glass Chin, and last year’s undervalued The Stanford Prison Experiment. In other cases, such as in Watchmen, Sleepers, and Mission Impossible 3, he gives thinly written characters tremendous poise and a distinct signature in movement and delivery. Even … Continue reading ‘The Flash’: Billy Crudup to Play Father to Everyone’s Favorite Speedster!!
The creative saga of director Ridley Scott’s Prometheus follow-up has been beyond fascinating. Before Prometheus even hit theaters, Scott was essentially revealing all the franchise’s future secrets and teasing a Prometheus 2 in which Noomi Rapace’s Shaw and the disembodied head of Michael Fassbender’s David would go on an intergalactic road trip to find the home world of the Engineers. Development on Prometheus 2 continued…and … Continue reading Noomi Rapace Will Be in ‘Alien: Covenant’ After All!!

The official Alien Anthology Twitter account released a behind-the-scenes photo from the set featuring the “creator,” Scott, and his “creation.” But a look at those … Continue reading ‘Alien: Covenant’: Ridley Scott, Michael Fassbender Return in New Set Photo!!
