Alien:
Covenant *
The crew of a
colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a
threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.
In many ways,
a tighter film than Prometheus (2012) with more focus on scares. But, like all
of Scott’s films, it ultimately buckles under the weight of the solemn
anthology he thrusts upon it and becomes another unsatisfactory franchise film
on autopilot.

Snatched *
When her
boyfriend dumps her before their exotic vacation, a young woman persuades her
ultra-cautious mother to travel with her to paradise, with unexpected results.
Lamentably dull
mother/daughter road trip comedy that moves way too slow. At least it’s short.

King
Arthur: Legend of the Sword
Robbed of his
birthright, Arthur grows up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But
once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true
legacy.
Atrocious deconstruction
of the Arthurian legend, filled with both clumsy cinematic rhythms and illogical history by one
of the hackiest directors working today.
