Alien
Date Location
Agatha Christie in outer space as a freighter lands on a mysterious planet and is ingeniously invaded by a ravenous intruder which proceeds to chomp its way through the cast list. Edge-of-the-seat suspense thriller with a strong cast and ghastly special effects.

Aliens
Date Location
(5 stars) Revived from a 57-year snooze in deep space, Warrant Officer Weaver is cajoled into joining a marine rescue mission to the planet that is home for the original alien beastie. Unrelentingly paced with a terrifically gutsy performance from Weaver, this nerve-shredding sequel not only matches its predecessor but cannily surpasses it. An Oscar winner for special effects.

Battleship
Date Location
(2 stars) When aliens invade the waters around Hawaii, wayward naval officer Alex Hopper (Kitsch) must assemble a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to fight back. Director Berg is a naval buff, so it's disappointing that a chance to refresh the action genre is thrown away in favour of a humdrum alien-invasion plot.

Hellboy
Date Location
Mexican horror film auteur del Toro's labour of love adaptation of Mike Mignola's cult horror comic delivers on every level, remaining true to the spirit of Mignola's inspired strip and rich with supernatural hocus pocus, wisecracking one-liners and the dark visual styling of German Expressionist cinema.

Iron Sky
Date Location
(2 stars) Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order.
