Alien: Covenant 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th May 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

A Covenant is an agreement between god and his people but Alien Covenant is so heady with religion I’m surprised they didn’t go the whole way and call it Alien: Old Testament. The question is who is god here – Weyland, David, the Engineers, or Ridley Scott himself who has clearly hugely enjoyed drenching his… Alien: Covenant Read More

Once I’ve stopped Hoovering anyway. Also if you remind me I’ll do a post on IMD which is on 19th November. As long… It’s International Women’s Day!

1st March 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

She'd always hoped her last words would be something worthy and shakespearean, not "ghostly faces in mirrors? don't be ridic..."

“The path to Paradise begins in Hell”, as everyone who’s been for a Hollywood wax tells me. We’ve been treated to a new Alien: Covenant trailer to get us through until May 19th when the film is released. The crew of the colonising ship Covenant have landed on what looks like paradise.

So if I was stuck on a desert island with only a solar DVD player for company and room for just TEN movies these are the ones I’d take and would happily watch again & again & again until Gerard Butler came to rescue me. 1. Prometheus – Being on a desert island at one with… 10 Movies to Watch on a Desert Island Read More
