    Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

    ★★★★½

    Great fun with great Ray Harryhausen effects.
    Yeah, there’s plot holes and contrivances galore but I’m a sucker for 50’s sci fi and this is as fun as it gets!

  • A Quiet Place: Day One

    A Quiet Place: Day One

    ★★★

    I liked this a fair bit but the cat just bugs me. I like cats. I like animals in general but that fucker is a hindrance, weirdly humanistic and downright annoying by the end. I mean how did him and Joseph Quinn get off that scaffolding surrounded by creatures? As long as he saves the cat though.
    The cat should have been wiped out quicker than the annoying kid in the first one.

    Other than that it’s a decent sci-fi horror that builds tension nicely and Lupita Nyong'o is excellent in the supporting role to her super cat.

    If you like Blur and / or attended any of the Ballad of Darren shows this will likely appeal to you as it did to me. As a fan I enjoyed the whole runtime.
