“Alien: Romulus,” the latest installment in the legendary Alien franchise, reminds us why Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic still haunts our nightmares. Directed by Fede Álvarez, known for his skillful handling of horror in films like “Evil Dead” (2013) and “Don’t Breathe” (2016), “Romulus” treads the line between homage and originality. The movie, set between the original “Alien” and James Cameron’s action-packed sequel “Aliens,” plunges us back into the cold, uncaring void of space, where once again, no one can hear you scream.

	His first film, a remake of Sam Raimi’s “The Evil Dead,” leaned more heavily into the grueling horror of the 1981 low-budget original than its more comical 1986 predecessor, revitalizing the franchise in the process. After launching his own series with “Don’t Breathe,” he cowrote and directed “The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” a sequel to David Fincher’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”...

I don't know about you, but where I'm at... it's still sooooo hot. The country as a whole has been under a huge heat wave this past week and today is no exception! I will say though, that we are lucky to have a dry heat instead of a humid heat. At least I don't feel like I'm drowning and on fire at the same time.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Alien: Romulus. Alien: Romulus is the seventh mainline movie in the Alien franchise, and it’s a solid film. Directed by Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead), Romulus has some great set pieces, bringing the xenomorphs back to their franchise roots. However, it also has some extremely low points. The film struggles when referencing the previous movies, notably Alien and Aliens. While Romulus takes place between those two movies, the references that are the most egregious parts of the film are the ones that feel too forced.

Alien: Romulus’s Worst Problem Was Completely Avoidable

Get ready for a déjà vu double feature as this week brings the return of two familiar franchises with Watchmen: Chapter 1 and Alien: Romulus. Watchmen takes another swing at Alan Moore’s foundational classic, this time adopting an animated approach. But can it soar where other adaptations have fallen short? That’s the question also facing Romulus, as we return to the world of xenomorphs and facehuggers to see if a legacy sequel can live up to Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi stunner. From all that to a new John Cena-Awkwafina action comedy, a twisty Elizabeth Banks thriller, and one of the year’s most spectacular surprise gems, we’ve got reviews of what you can see in theaters and at home, ranked by what we thought.

I remember going to see Steppenwolf in concert and looking forward to the deep cuts. I had heard “Born to be Wild” and “Magic Carpet Ride” so many times on the radio, I don’t ever need to hear them again. Yet when the band would go into their biggest hits, the crowd went nuts, and it made me enjoy them a bit more.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Runner-ups Purvis – Alien: Resurrection (1997) If pure sci-fi camp is your entertainment of choice, look no further than Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wacky, if not outride absurd, Alien: Resurrection. Despite solid performances from Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, the fourth movie lacks the artistic flourishes of the previous three entries and trades brains for goofy, B-movie shenanigans. The insanity reaches its apex when a man named Purvis uses a Chestburster to off a bad guy, a ridiculous moment that tosses Resurrection into Sci-Fi movie territory.
