Review: ‘Alien: Covenant’ Starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride
One of the films I’ve been looking forward to for the last few months is Alien: Covenant. I was not disappointed, but I wasn’t totally pleased either.

‘Welcome to the Punch’ Trailer and Poster (James McAvoy and Mark Strong)

Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott reteam for their fifth film together, Robin Hood. Crowe plays the titular hero in Hollywood’s umpteenth retelling of the tale.
