    Alien: Romulus

    ★★★★

    It's been a long time since I've been as excited about a film as I was about Alien: Romulus. I love the Alien franchise, even though I didn't like the last two films (Prometheus and Alien: Covenant) at all. But the first films in particular always found the right buttons for me.
    It's not without reason that Ridley Scott's Alien from 1979 is my absolute favorite film of all time and that will most likely never change. Accordingly, my anticipation…

    Longlegs

    ★★★★

    After Alien: Romulus, Longlegs was my second most anticipated film of the year. I loved the trailers and was generally pretty hyped from what I've heard about the film. So, after I saw the film yesterday, how do I like it?

    Alien
    excels at blending classic sci-fi with the horror of space and the unknown. The horror of the film builds up piece by piece in a gradual process. Even the moments where you feel safe become a nightmare.

    When I first saw the alien and…

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★

    Rarely have I been looking forward to a film as much as I did to Oppenheimer. Now that I've seen it I have to say that I'm torn.

    Oppenheimer starts far too hectic, unstructured and a little confusing for my taste. In moments that seem so arbitrarily and are way too many, you switch back and forth between several time periods. Because of that, you quickly lose orientation and a sense is not always given either. There is also a…
