What would you do if you were a low level CIA agent staffing a safe house and the CIA's most wanted shows up to turn himself in? Interesting premise, and one I'll admit drew me in. The idea of Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as the principals was an added attraction and when I found out that Brenden Gleeson and Vera Farmiga were in support I was sold. Unfortunately, while it looks good on

Something has happened to me lately. I'm finding it harder to sit through movies these days, many times I find my self switching a film off after 30 minutes and doing something else. Sometimes I go an look at stuff online, other times I work through the stacks of books by my bed that I keep meaning to read. More often than not though I'll put on something else, a TV show. Something happened

I love trailers. In many cases the trailer is significantly better than the film, giving marketing execs a chance to cram in all the cool bits and leave out the dregs. So naturally when viral marketing came along about a decade ago it was interesting to see how trailers developed when they no longer relied on expensive TV time to reach viewers. Tonight however I cam across what is perhaps the

It's hard to know where to start with Mission Impossible. I can't even remember if this is the third or fourth  instalment of the franchise. I know MI:2 had a sound track done back Limp Bizkit; that was such a long time ago that I'm guessing that they found time to do a third in between. Let's go with this as the fourth one. We begin with Tom Cruise breaking out of a grim Russian

When I first heard about the FP I thought it was made up. The premise seemed so laughable. How could any group of sentient human beings ever get together and think that an apocalyptic movie where characters resolves their differences through dance dance revolution style competitions was a good idea? Looks like I was wrong as you can now watch the first 10 minutes of the

Nebulon seldom has time for your earth music, to his mighty warrior ears it sounds like the pitiful whining of a doomed race, especially when compared to an Alpha Centuri battle march. Although the music of Ian Drury has yet to come up in my research into your pitiful planet, I found this movie a deeply witty and engrossing biopic with some nice touches which thoroughly won over the heart of

OK, so Nebulon has taken his time formulating his opinion of Avatar, but now is the time of reckoning for James Cameron’s latest attempt at film immortality. Nebulon has one question: How can the man who made Terminator, Terminator II, Aliens and True Lies produce this? Nebulon lived in hope that Titanic was just a blip and that his next film would set him back on track, but it appears that

A recent setback in the Unobtanium mines on Pandora has delayed out invasion, but rest assured earthmen the day of reckoning is coming. I will destroy you. In the mean time I watch and I wait and I study your primitive earth culture. Recently I was fortunate enough to beam down and catch Daybreakers, a refreshingly different take on the Vampire films earthmen or probably more earthwomen are so

So for the second time in as many days Nebulon has beamed down to the multiplex, and for the second time in as many days he has had an enjoyable time. This despite having to fight the urge to atomise the retarded teenagers clogging up the box office. When the invasion comes the first thing we will do is ban your young from all movie theatres.The Hurt Locker is great, but difficult to categorise.

So, once again Nebulon beams down prepared for the usual Judd Apatow affair. Stoners and dick jokes all round. The funny thing about funny people is that, although those archetypes are still present (in varying degrees) is that there are also the bones of a subtle, sensitive and strangely heart warming films. Now don't make the mistake of thinking this is a chick flick or a 'bromance' it still

There is something intergalactic about Sandra Bullock's appeal. Nebulon is unsure what it is, but even in the farthest depths of the galaxy there are still species which use Sandra Bullock's visage as unit of measurement for spankability. 'That's three and half Sandras' they say. Perhaps it's her girl next door charm, or her pixie qualities. Whatever it is there was a measurable increase in

Quentin Tarantino, genius or overblown indy darling? Nebulon didn't know before he beamed down to take a look at his latest offering, and he sure as hell doesn't know now.Episodic chapters? Check.Interesting and quirky characters fleshed out with minute detail? Check.Endless, navel gazing dialogue? Check.Essentially this is Quentin's attempt to crate a WW2 exploitation movie in the same mould as

Nebulon has a hard time with the concept of your Earth countries. On his home world the various factions are united under the rule of Karg the Merciless and peace reigns; you're peaceful or they kill you. As such Nebulon has a hard time understanding the idea of the French and their salty indifference as well as the general disdain the rest of the world seems to hold them in. Never the less, he

It can get pretty lonely up here on Station 59, Nebulon does occasionally find himself wanting for the company of his equals. Lt Kang, Nebulon's aide de camp is fine as far as it goes, but the art of conversation is lost on him.Usually Nebulon can comfort himself by donning his disguise and visiting his local multiplex. Recently however the background level of homicidal rage I experience on a

Naturally, giant robots are of great interest to Nebulon. I am keen to see how your species might react when confronted with a 200 foot tall killing machine. That is why I was able to put down last nights beam down to the multiplex as 'expenses'.Transformers 2 revolves around the eponymous Transformers who are on earth, searching for various maguffins.

So, after a seeming drought at the multiplex, Nebulon finally has an excuse to don his human disguise and pay another visit to your earth cinema.Sam Raimi, before he was the guy that did the Spider Man films, actually had a reputation as something of a guerrilla film maker, famously setting up at a cabin in the woods with his friends and making one of the best horror movies, namely the Evil

Where can Nebulon begin with Star Trek? As a mighty space warrior it amuses me to see your puny earth ideas of what intergalactic conflict might look like. It is a shame for you that these idle day dreams bear little resemblance to the coming inferno. Your species will regret, on that fateful day, that they do not have the mighty Kirk to protect you.Nebulon was disappointed that this franchise

So, humans think they know a thing or two about fighting eh? Well, your martial skills are no match for the mighty Nebulon Channing Tatum. Nebulon was not expecting great things, but I followed the recommendations of the great human guru Kermode, plus everything else out at the moment sounds like utter dross.Channing, apart from having the best name ever, is a down on his luck guy struggling to

So, the mighty Nebulon has returned. I have spent the last few months over seeing the refit of the might Nebulonian fleet. Even as I write the final preparations are underway, prepare to die earth men.In the mean time though you might like to go to the movies.Dan Brown may write decent books (if you like airport trash) but maybe they ought to stay books, as soon as they get made into films they

Nebulon’s people distinguish between our young with our keen sense of smell, not by facial recognition. Like many of you, Nebulon finds it hard to relate to what seems a fairly standard plot contrivance, a case of mistaken identity. On learning that this film is based on true events however, any hesitation about this disappears and you can enjoy a truly remarkable film. In describing this film

I, Nebulon the almighty have recently returned from a secret mission to the gamma sector, but rest assured I am now ready to continue my eternal vigil on the people of earth.As a keen fan of the original TDTESS, Nebulon is inclined to shun any attempt at a remake. Why fix what isn’t broken. Never the less, despite what you may have read in reviews by lesser species, this remake starring Keanu

Nebulon beamed downed to the earth’s surface a few years ago and went on a pilgrimage to see the Quick Stop from Clerks. Nebulon expected the it to be a big a deal but it wasn’t really, just your average convenience store in a quiet seaside town. There was no plaque or memorial, but one of the cab drivers swears his daughter once went out with Jason Mewes. Instead of souvenirs Nebulon had to

Nebulon shares an affinity for your earth police. Show’s like the Shield have wetted his appetite for violence and corruption and movies like Street Kings (filmed by the same crew that did the Shield) have further enticed him. When a movie comes out featuring Edward Norton and the promise of heady corrupt cop action then Nebulon stands up and takes notice. Pride and Glory is the story of a

Nebulon is always amused by your earth politics. On my planet all dissenters are crushed mercilessly under the jackboot of the absolute moral authority of supreme leader Zarg III. So it is interesting to see a director such as Oliver Stone not only take on a president, but a sitting president to boot. The film is based around the writing of the axis of evil of speech which was the key moment in

Nebulon needs to get something off his mighty chest before he gets to the actual movie. Piracy. It would be a brave cinema lackey that would search Nebulon, he or she may well find themselves on the end of a death ray it they ever tried it. But never the less, I have it on good authority that thanks to a release date in the US which is two weeks after general release in the UK, that all cinemas
