Rating: R Stars: Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, Aileen Wu, Daniel Betts Writers: Fede Alvarez & Rodo Sayagues, based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon & Ronald Shusett Director: Fede Alvarez Distributor: 20th Century Studios Release Date: August 16, 2024 ALIEN: ROMULUS is the best movie in the ALIEN franchise since ALIENS. This isn’t to say ALIEN: ROMULUS is in the same class as the 1986 ALIENS or the 1979 original ALIEN. That would be demanding too much of practically any movie. However, it starts by honoring the basics. Yes, there is a bit of […]Read On »

Rating: PG Stars (voices): John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk Writers: Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee, story by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston Director: Rich Moore Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Release Date: November 2, 2012 TOY STORY was far from the first tale of playthings coming to life once humans were out of sight. The movie’s success owed everything to its execution and details. WRECK-IT RALPH likewise starts with this notion – although in this case, the “toys” are the video characters in arcade games – and goes to wonderful, funny, touching places. Less briefly, […]Read On »
