Alien Conquest (2021)

The film is bogged down with one-off rain monster threats that always come to a quick and undramatic end

It is up to the community to decide if this film is a force for enlightenment or not.  

With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.

John Walker is named the new Captain America and The Flagsmashers run amok.

The latest installment in the beloved media franchise is a unique stylized mesh of humor and heart.
