There’s been a lot of anticipation about Noah Hawley’s series Alien: Earth but also some trepidation about the very idea of bringing the big-screen’s most infamously ravenous extraterrestrials to the living room on a weekly basis. After all, the franchise itself has become something of an acidic rinse and...

No film, even including dinosaur-free movies, will likely have the impact that the first Jurassic Park film (based on the book by Michael Crichton) brought to audiences and critics alike back in 1993. Until then stop-motion and rough, cut-and-paste green screen was king but Steven Spielberg, like the film’s...

This summer has a fair few ‘blockbusters’ to parse out its schedule, but the two movies that are theoretically going head-to-head are the big superhero outings: Superman and the Fantastic Four. People love to play off the DC vs. Marvel angle, particularly at a time when both studios are...

Dramas – indeed every story – can largely be considered collections of decisions, the whys of their making and the consequences of them thereafter.

Two brothers, Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B Jordan) return to the Mississippi Delta after years away. They’ve served in World War One and, later, in the Chicago Underworld of Capone. Now they’ve finagled money, escaping with enough cold hard cash and Irish beer to open up...

Charlie Parker is hired by an up-and-coming sculptor Zetta Nadeau to find why her boyfriend, Wyatt Riggins, has apparently vanished. Parker is initially skeptical that the man wants to be found and Riggins’ ex-military history and his ties to the lucrative (and partially legal) cannabis trade in the state...

When still a young boy, Dan Garvie, narrowly avoided the clutches of a notorious serial killer, but ever since he’s quietly wondered if his actions on the day doomed another child. However, the notorious ‘Pied Piper’ is now long dead and Dan is a grown man and a successful...

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has a problem. Politicians – including congressman Bucky Barnes – are scrutinising her every move and she has a closet full of skeletons that she doesn’t want to see the light of day. What better way to clean house than have all her shady operatives...
