The Alien Chronicles
As excitement levels start to reach fever pitch in anticipation of Ridley Scott’s new film, ALIEN: COVENANT, it’s worth reminding ourselves that, remarkably, it’s almost forty years since he first introduced us to that creature of countless nightmares, the Xenomorph.

Tell No Tales
For many, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise delivers enough swashbuckling action, brain-boggling special effects, and high-seas hijinks to justify its continued existence.

SimianScope
Although it might not have scaled the box office heights of behemoths like JURASSIC WORLD, the recent KONG: SKULL ISLAND was nevertheless a massive hit with moviegoers worldwide and likely to kickstart a franchise world that will include city-levelling scrapping with the likes of Godzilla. Kong himself is a cultural icon comparable with his nuclear-age nemesis Gojira, as well as other silver screen scarers like Dracula and the Alien franchise’s xenomorphs. The latest instalment of the rebooted PLANET OF THE APES saga hits screens soon and there are plenty of imit-ape-ors (boom!) that left us with films great, good and oh-so-bad. It’s only ape-propriate (boom!) that we give a little love to the greatest gorillas, the monkeys with the most and the primates you love to hate. It’s time to go ape (boo… ah, you get the idea).

When film historians look back on the cinema of the 20th century, there’s every chance that the one actor’s name that stands above all others will be HARRISON FORD. The highest grossing actor of all time, his films have brought in $4.87 million so far thanks to appearances in four STAR WARS movies, four Indiana Jones films and numerous other hits…
