The first two episodes of Alien: Earth did a great job setting up the premise of the show. Episodes three and four focus on philosophical musings as much as corporations studying alien lifeforms. The Lost Boys have been sent to a Weyland-Yutani ship that has crashed in the middle of New Siam. They are ordered […]

Between the complications inherent in releasing movies during the COVID pandemic, lending his voice to animated features, and the limited theatrical runs enjoyed by most streaming studio fare, Relay marks Riz Ahmed’s return to the screen in a starring role. So it’s quite bold that for its first thirty minutes, we don’t hear his voice. […]
Darren Aronofsky directs his ninth film, moving to the crime-caper genre by adapting Charlie Huston’s novel Caught Stealing. Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) is a bartender in late ‘90s New York.
