The predators in Shane Black’s latest entry in the franchise are big game hunters, tracking and killing for sport – and we’re the prey. They hunt for fun, and for DNA, stalking the galaxy for the best of each species. At least if only humanity’s finest are in their sights I’m probably ok. (I mean,… The Predator Read More

District 9 4 stars
“He became the most valuable business artefact on earth… but his real value was that he could operate alien weaponry,” says Grey Bradnam, a journalist speaking long after the events of District 9.

Life 3 stars
When it comes to single-cell organisms that can lie dormant for what seems like hundreds of years before being reanimated with some sugar and then causing complete havoc, I’m something of an expert – but they were at school today so I thought I’d go and watch Life instead. With the action taking place on the International Space Station, there are… Life Read More

2016 – The Year We Didn’t Know If A “Best Of” Film List Was Numerical or Alphabetical
Ah yes, Arrival. Anyway I can assure you this is an in-order, 1st to 10th best, numerical list which by chance happens to be almost… ALMOST, alphabetical. 1. Arrival What “best of” film list this end-of-year won’t have Arrival at the top? Maybe one written by Cillian Murphy.
