It's hard to believe that Independence Day was released 20 years ago. The film's still a classic, with rich humor and engaging characters, but last weekend it became something else.

A Towering Inferno: First Critical Reviews Slam 'The Dark Tower' Movie Adaptation
As we prepare to climb The Dark Tower and bring Stephen King's fantasy opus to our screens, it looks like we are heading to the Wild West for a shootout with those critical reviews. Given that other King adaptations like The Shining and Misery are lauded as some of the best horrors to grace cinema, can a move away from what the author does best still do a Shawshank Redemption and go down well with movie fans?

Ridley Me This, Ridley Me That: Ridley Scott's Next Alien Movie Won't Focus On The Xenomorphs
For a story that will have you spitting venom (and acid), it sounds like sci-fi legend Ridley Scott has some controversial plans for his ongoing Alien franchise. After first bringing Xenomorphs to our screens in 1979, the world of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation has gifted us sequels, crossovers, reboots, and prequels, which all led to this year's #AlienCovenant. With Scott back behind the reins once again, the Alien prequel divided critics, thanks mainly to its deviation into religion and evolution.

Sony Triggers The End Of The World By Bringing To Life The Red Queen From 'Resident Evil'
Reach for a change of panties because #SonyPictures may have just triggered the end of the world. In anticipation of the upcoming #ResidentEvil: The Final Chapter, the studio has created an AI of their homicidal computer the Red Queen. Ever since she said "you're all going to die down here," I knew I never liked that punk-face bitch. Why on Earth anyone would bring to life a bloodthirsty supercomputer is beyond me, but it screams Orwellian disaster waiting to happen. Creepy kids are enough in films, let alone when they are AIs that you then bring to life. It's a big loada "nope" from me!
