Movie Review: Alien — Romulus

By Jack Silbert on September 4, 2024

4 stars out of 5 I was 10 when the original Alien came out so didn’t see it at the time, but even the poster was scary. Since then I think I only skipped part 4, despite the presence of Winona Ryder. So it was no surprise on an overcast late summer afternoon to find […]

Movie Review: Twisters

By Jack Silbert on July 30, 2024

3.5 stars out of 5 Hmm, 3.5, what’s that on the Fujita scale? Seeing this movie was sort of a perfect storm for me: I dig weather porn, I have fond memories of Twister from back in 1996, plus I’m one of the countless throngs who fell in love with Daisy Edgar-Jones in Normal People. […]
