Monsters: Dark Continent (2014)
Rating: ★★★
May 9, 2015Alien-Infested War Zone
This offers the expectation of a sequel to the sleeper hit of Monsters; what we instead get is not many monsters and a film about recruits in a Middle Eastern war zone. That said, you cannot deny that what we have is an undeniably well made film

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)
Rating: ★★★½
Feb 21, 2015Spy Film/Comic-Book Adaptation

May 26, 2018Book-Burning Dystopia/Ray Bradbury Adaptation
This had one simple job – adapt a book by one of the great SF writers. Instead, we go from a work set in a book-burning future to The Firemen on reality tv shows competing for Likes on social media

Nicolas Cage’s career choices in recent years have taken him into serious psychotronic headspace. Shion Sono is a director whose film's inhabit demented territory. It seemed inevitable that the two should meet up on screen
