Hi readers, hope your week is going well!?

Got a sneak peek here for this weeks film. It’s week 11 and, after a brief sojourn into quality cinema with Alien last week, we’re back to the good, good bad stuff.

Amusingly, this weeks’ film also has John Hurt in the cast, just as Alien did, and is another sci-fi film. It also stars James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Ron Perlman and Paul Bettany and is directed by Howard McCain. It is loosely based on the classic English epic poem ‘Beowulf’ and features close encounters between aliens and-get this- Vikings.

That’s right it’s one of those films that sounds like a panicked elevator pitch more than anything else:

‘We need a film that the youths will like. They like when you put aliens against thing right? Alien vs Predator? Cowboys vs Aliens? Spacejam?’

‘I’ve got it…. VIKINGS’

*Execs cheer, snort cocaine*

BUT in fairness my initial research seems to be suggesting that this film, which I picked out of the hollowed pound palace shelves for its apparent schlokiness might actually be somewhat better than its first impression may suggest. Not GOOD per say, but watchable. I’m thinking somewhere between schlockfest and competence. Should be a laugh! Here’s your peek:

So any guesses? Hit me with a comment! Until then, some points of interest:

-I’m gonna introduce a sneak peek guestimate star rating, where I’ll guess how good I think I will think the film is after watching it. For this one, I’m thinking…. 2 Stars!

-Sleater-Kinney have a new album out. Riot girl/ punk duo (formerly trio) who helped trailblaze the scene years ago and whose last album No Cities to Love was awesome. Worth checking out the new one I imagine- I certainly intend to: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/aug/15/sleater-kinney-the-centre-wont-hold-album-review

Util the weekend then!
