Alien 5: Fight or Fly?

-
Could it be? Could our most loved and terrifying creature from space really be coming back to hug our faces on the big screen? Sigourney Weaver who played our great protagonist Ellen Ripley hopes so., it has been noted all around the World Wide Web that she feels the story is not quite finished yet and another Alien film is needed to round the series off.

The Alien franchise consists of four sci-fi action horror films starting with Alien in 1979, followed seven years later by the sequel Aliens (1986) then onto Alien 3 (1992) and ending (possibly) with Alien: Resurrection in 1997.

I’m not including AVP in this list of the franchise because in my film critic opinion they weren’t movies, but a bit of film on our screens to make more money. Don’t judge me! If you like these ridiculous movies, I don’t think any less of you! These movies however do not make me worry about another Alien being made, I just hope Sigourney and the producers keep the feel of Alien and don’t use of the aftermath of AVP.

Choosing the right director, if this movie goes ahead, will play a large part in the movies success competing with masters Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and  Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Adding a fifth movie to this large and successful franchise is risky, but with a film like Alien, a risk that could kill you is a good risk.

Let me know what you think! Is another Alien a good idea? Who would you suggest to direct it?!

Inhumane: Welcome Back to The Female Werewolf!

What is better than a new horror feature about a female werewolf? Not much, I had a think about it and yeah, not much. Lucky for us there are still creatives who understand this NEED for movies with plots such as this one and Eric Winkler is one of them; a fairly new on the market writer who has bought us not only a new horror movie but has done so with the sharp bite of woman empowerment. Inhumane is, as said, a female led werewolf movie in which our main character Lisa has something horrific happen...hold on, let me have the brains behind the movie tell you a little what it’s about, that’s right Velvet-ians, I got to speak to the man himself; Where did the idea for Inhumane come from and made you want to write it? ERIC:  My original thought was "I want to write a movie with a really badass woman as the lead character." Basically, I thought it'd be cool if we had her be a superhero, but her superpower is that she's a werewolf. Well, originally I couldn

Saving The Outsiders House: Danny O'Connor.

Moviepilot.com/Warner Bros. The Outsiders is an american drama movie adaptation of  S. E. Hinton's book with the same title. It was realised in 1983 and had a cast of many familiar faces before they were as familiar and famous as they are today; Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and pre-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, with C. Thomas Howell as the lead. The film tackled themes of class, brotherhood and murder and caught it all in a gritty, honest and beautiful bubble. Simply unforgettable. This cult classic was directed by one of the greats Francis Ford Coppola whose name stands against the ever lasting titles of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and one of my favourites, Bram Stoker's Dracula. With all these fantastic names behind it, from my point of view, I'm surprised it's as cult and underrated as it is. However with that being said, I learnt just how large the ever growing fan base for this movie was  when the key character of the movie was due to be

A Love Letter to Call Me By Your Name.

Call Me By Your Name is a coming-of-age drama, adapted from Andre Aciman’s 2007 novel of the same name. The story, set in 1980’s Italy, follows 17 year old Elio and the love that blossoms between him and an older grad student staying with him and his family for the summer, named Oliver. This gem that is taking the festival circuit, and soon the cinema, by storm is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who we know for films such as A Bigger Splash and I Am Love and with Armie Hammer and breakthrough actor, Timothee Chalamet as the forefront of this movie, who can truly have any doubts before watching?!?! Since I saw a preview screening of Call Me By Your Name yesterday, I have been trying to figure out some structure for a review; something similar to how I’ve always reviewed, you know, ramble too much, talk more about my inability to hate movies and then write a line about the movie itself, but, and not surprisingly, that wasn’t working for a piece on this film. Trying to write a bor
