Orion and the Dark
We are catching up on the movies of 2024 that I just simply did not get to when they came out. We are on Orion and the Dark, the newest animated film from Dreamworks. Dreamworks has been doing some really great stuff the last few years, I just feel like it gets overshadowed by Disney and Pixar. Even though I stand firm on Ruby Gillman being 1000X better then Wish. So we will see if they keep up that trend with this newest film.

Alien Romulus Movie Review
Since 1979, the Alien series has stood as one of the most well known and venerable efforts in science fiction with many ups and downs through the decades. Seven years on from the last major release, Alien Romulus is putting aside the prequel threads and picking up with a new director. For the most part, it does succeed at continuing the franchise.

Alien: Romulus
Well we went to see the newest Alien movie…and it was exactly what I expected it to be. I think we all know by now that I have a burning, fiery hatred for remakes, reboots and unnecessary sequels. As far as those things go Alien Romulus is a shitty remake. Can’t be a sequel really because it doesn’t expand on or add anything to the world, though it does vaguely acknowledge what came before it. But really this movie was The Force Awakens. An unbelievably bad version of what launched the franchise.

Manorathangal Review: Interesting Drama for Selective Viewers!
Friends, the movies coming from the Malayalam industry both impress and attract people because most of the content of their movies is top class but in the case of web series they are not that strong, it does not mean that every show of theirs is bad. Very rarely do they come up with good shows; other shows do not attract that much. However, I was very excited about ZEE5's new show Manorathangal.
