Time to scream in space again! Rama delivers us another review. Finally, after the incredibly boring “ Prometheus ,” Ridley Scott gave us Alien Covenant which reminds us exactly why we sci-fi horror fans have always loved this franchise. This is not only a return to form, this movie will scare you to your core. Undeniably terrifying. Katherine Waterston ’s character Daniels may not be completely equal to Sigourney Weaver ’s iconic character Ripley but Daniels is badass in her own right. Scripted by John Logan and Dante Harper with story by Jack Paglen and Michael Green and directed by the man who helmed the first original “Alien” film, “Alien: Covenant” is essentially a sequel to “Prometheus.” You get to see what happens to Elizabeth Shaw and David, while at the same time there’s a crew of a colony ship arriving on a remote planet that they think is an uncharted paradise but the reality is far more sinister. They then must fight their way to escape the ever present threat. A c

In this action comedy, three friends are on the verge of getting their video game financed when their benefactor is taken hostage by terrorists. The film stars Workaholics stars Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson . Game Over, Man! hails from comedy savants Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, as well as power producer Scott Rudin. Kyle Newacheck directed the Die Hard-esque movie, which was written by Holm. Netflix will release the film on April 20, 2018 — just in time for the 4/20 holiday. Please Leave A Comment-

The bold and wild visuals of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword betray its core problem: a lack of story. Review by Matt Cummings Hollywood's fascination with the reboot seems to have no end. Apparently, our oldest myths are also up for theatrical reassembling, as King Arthur: Legend of the Sword arrives to an audience who probably wasn't clamoring for a retelling (the last was 2004 and it didn't do so well). The result is a highly-stylized, frenetic good time that will most likely end up in the discount bin, but not because it's bad. The story behind Legend of the Sword is different than the traditional tale: instead of being raised by a loving family after the death of his father, Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) is raised in a brothel after he's sent down the river Moses-style after his father Uther (Eric Bana) is killed during a coup by his brother Vortigern (Jude Law). Taking on the role of Morgana, Vortigern is courting ancient and deadly magic in

A talented, young getaway driver ( Ansel Elgort ) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game.

But after being coerced into working for a crime boss ( Kevin Spacey ), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom. Please Leave A Comment-

An effective thriller Rama is back. The best way to describe “ The Wall ” is that it reminds us of 2002’s “ Phone Booth ” starring Colin Farrell and 2010’s “ Buried ” starring Ryan Reynolds . All of these movies are essentially stories of a predator toying with their food or prey. Our flawed protagonist pinned down while a highly skilled murderer speaks from the other end of the phone line messing with his head. It’s like a mind game between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling all over again. “ The Wall ” is gripping and intense. Directed by Doug Liman, “The Wall” stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and WWE star John Cena as two soldiers investigating the deaths of pipeline contractors when all of a sudden they become sitting targets of a lethally accurate sniper. Dwain Worrell wrote the script which made it to the black list (great unproduced screenplays) and I can understand why because Worrell pretty much has come up with a story that’s quite nail-biting. And the fact that the sni

Laugh out loud! Rama is back. What’s awesome about the movie #Snatched is that it knows exactly you and I need at that given moment. Often times when watching a comedy movie, there’s a bit of a disconnect between what the characters on screen consider to be funny and whether or not we the audience think that that same thing is funny. But there’s no such problem here with “ Snatched ,” there’s vagina jokes, there’s racial jokes, there’s gender jokes, there’s sperm jokes. Its level of redonkulous is off the charts. One of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in theaters this year. “Snatched” is about a dreamer named Emily Middleton (Amy Schumer) whose life is stuck, her boyfriend has left her, she just got fired from her job and none of her friends can go with her to this vacation that she’s been desperately needing so she can forget about her crappy life. She convinces her ultra cautious playing-it-safe mother, Linda (Goldie Hawn) into joining her. But during this travel, they

Talk about yer bad news, good news situation. First, the bad: Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman are really, truly no longer involved in future Hellboy movies, as reported by the director a while ago. But according to the character's creator, Mike Mignola, Hellboy will return, this time with Stranger Things' David Harbour in talks to take the lead role. Mignola goes on in his brief Facebook post to say that Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and several great Game Of Thrones episodes) is on board to direct this rebooted incarnation and that the aim will be an R-rated version. The clear talents of Marshall, Harbour (who was considered for Cable in Deadpool 2) and Mignola's blessing represent the good here, though that's unlikely to win over the majority of Hellboy movie fans, who have long been clamouring for a third instalment with del Toro directing and Perlman back in the costume. Now it appears that Millennium Films is looking to make a deal to prod
