Signs (2002) Review

December 29, 2017December 28, 2017 Ben

M Night Shyamalan has a talent for bringing a different type of performance from well-known, sometimes arguably type-cast stars. The Sixth Sense gave a different side to Bruce Willis while Unbreakable reminded people that Samuel L Jackson could actually act.

Arrival (2016) Review

February 12, 2017 Ben

Does the Earth need an alien invasion?

July 12, 2016July 10, 2016 Ben

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) Review

July 10, 2016July 9, 2016 Ben

Independence Day managed to tow that fine line between drama and silliness. Any movie concerning itself with alien invasion and science-fiction would have to either play it for laughs or play it straight-faced and the original 1996 movie did this perfectly. … Continue reading Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) Review
