ALIEN 3 (1992)

Certification18 Our Rating

The third installment of Ripley's nightmare. Brilliantly conceived and brave denouement of the Alien trilogy, with Ripley stranded on a prison planet inhabited by psychopathic British actors....and IT. Brutal and cold, the atmosphere is superb, and the lack of guns and bangs only adds to it. And then they made another one... find out more...

ALIEN RESURRECTION (1997)

Certification18 Our Rating

Sigourney Weaver returns as New and Improved Ripley. Utterly annihilated at the end of Alien 3, the bits of her left over have been patched up by mad, misguided space scientists, who've added more than a dash of alien DNA for good measure. This has the extraordinary effect of endowing her with a Harlem Globetrotter sized talent for basketball, and a nifty repertoire of one-liners to rival Oscar Wilde. It also gives her an enormous dose of that kick-ass attitude a girl needs if she's going to ove find out more...

BLADE (1998)

Certification18 Our Rating

Wesley Snipes may well be the only bloke in the world who could successfully pull off the roll of an ass-kicking, law-enforcing vampire hero, but he manages it with bucketloads of charisma in this entertaining nonsense. It helps that his character, a genuine member of the undead, looks great in black leather as he stalks the streets on a mission to stop Stephen Dorff, a jumped-up, man-made vampire, from unleashing Armageddon on mankind. Action packed, with some spectacular fights, and very styli find out more...

BLADE 2 (2002)

Certification18 Our Rating

Blade is back, but this time his enemy is not the noble league of vampire but a viscous new sub-breed that desires the destruction of the world from which it was spawned. Blade is forced into an uneasy alliance with his one time mortal enemy in a frantically paced race to slaughter, before all are slaughtered. Blade II is an incredibly fast action movie, leaping and bounding from one stunningly choreographed set piece to the next, and what the plot may loose in fluidity the copious amount of inf find out more...

CLOVERFIELD (2008)

Certification15 Our Rating

You know how before this came out at the cinema there was massive internet hype, a mind boggling disaster, sci-fi, horror, action flick, but bugger all about what the plot actually involved? Well that's because apart from monsters reeking havoc in New York, and some pretty young things trapped in the carnage, there is no plot; nada, zilch, nothing. Cloverfield works so well because it stoutly refuses to offer you anything other than adrenalin fuelled, clammy palmed escapism and filming it throug find out more...
