Review: Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets
Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets Trailer OK Luc Beeson, let’s try this again. The French visionary’s last effort – the not all that great Lucy, a film whose pretentious display of pseudo-scientific quackery undercut anything else the … Continue reading
Review: Midnight Special
Midnight Special Trailer Heading back to the cinema for the first time in a few weeks, myself and herself were faced with a choice: The Jungle Book, which has been critically celebrated but whose promotion left me numb, Eddie The … Continue reading
Firefly: “Our Mrs Reynolds” As Grounded Sci-Fi

Battleship
