Blu-ray Review: Tom Hardy Takes A Dark Journey Through A Grimy London In The Exceptional TABOO

Tom Hardy’s Taboo is a totally enthralling experience. This dark and dense eight-part series is filled with grit and gravel. It’s uncompromising in its vision and Hardy’s James Delaney is a dark anti-hero who cuts a brooding figure as he [...]

Everybody Starts Somewhere: Ridley Scott’s BOY AND BICYCLE

At the minute everyone is talking about Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, but sometimes it’s worth looking back at an artist’s earlier work (I’m not talking G.I. Jane here). Scott has a keen eye and one of the great visualists [...]

This ALIEN: COVENANT Featurette Is For A Rare Breed

This bad boy looks pretty solid. I don’t know if Alien: Covenant will bring anything new to the world of Alien, but what the hell, it might be a good night at the flicks. Sometimes that’s all you need. This new featurette is called Rare [...]

Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford On The Run In New BLADE RUNNER 2049 Trailer

I was sceptical when a Blade Runner sequel was first announced. Hell, I’m still sceptical, but I can’t deny my curiosity factor nor that Blade Runner 2049 looks great. This looks wonderful on a visual level and who doesn’t want to [...]

ALIEN: COVENANT Let Me Out Clip

Let me out! Not just what I screamed half-way through my first viewing of Prometheus (read the Movies In Focus review), but it’s also the name of this new clip from Alien: Covenant. I thought nobody could hear you scream in space? Ridley Scott [...]

The Hope Continues: ALIEN: COVENANT Prologue Clip

Michael Fassbender, his head and Noomi Rapace. This has everything you wanted from the end of Prometheus in one new clip (introduced by Ridley Scott) for Alien: Covenant. Alien: Covenant is released in UK cinemas and IMAX May 12 [...]

This ALIEN: COVENANT Poster Is Impressive

Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant opens on 19 May. The quality of the film remains to be seen (after the terrible Prometheus) but this seems like a return to form for the franchise. However, the most impressive piece of marketing to drop from the [...]

The Last Supper: This ALIEN: COVENANT Clip Is Better Than Prometheus

Yes, it riffs heavily on Ridley Scott‘s own Alien, but this clip from Alien: Covenant is very good. Witty and well acted, this goes to further rinse away the bad taste of Prometheus. Maybe I’m just excited that Michael Fassbender and [...]

A Return To Form: Trailer For Ridley Scott’s ALIEN: COVENANT

Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant looks a damn sight better than Prometheus (read the Movies In Focus review). However, didn’t Prometheus look good to begin with way back when the first trailers dropped? Michael Fassbender is back [...]

Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford In The First Trailer For BLADE RUNNER 2049

This first ‘announcement’ (read: teaser trailer) for Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 leans heavily on Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. It has the same sort of visuals and slow paced tone that has made Scott’s film a science fiction [...]

Ridley Scott Makes Amends With The New ALIEN: COVENANT Poster

Few people are clamouring for a follow-up to Prometheus. Ridley Scott’s 2012 movie which contained ‘Alien DNA’ was a mess (Read the Movies In Focus review). I get the feeling he’s trying to make amends with Alien: Covenant – [...]

Blu-Ray Review: EQUALS Starring Nicholas Hoult And Kristen Stewart Plays Like A Tween Version Of THX 1138

Equals (which is a terrible title) is a well made and stylish dystopian sci-fi drama that’s hindered by the fact that it feels like many, many other films before it. The main touchstone on-hand for this Ridley Scott produced film is George [...]
