Alien: Resurrection - Caravan Of Garbage

It's time to wrap up the Ellen Ripley Alien film series with a look at what's probably the weakest entry, Alien: Resurrection. Set two hundred years after the last and bring back Sigourney Weaver as a clone of the original Ripley it has all the thrills and chills of the best Alien movies but not as good. Sure there's some fun stuff in it like breath verification and a basketball shot people won't shut up about but other stuff like the xenomorphy/human hybrid just fall flat. Thanks for checkout o...

Alien 3 - Caravan Of Garbage

Opinions of Alien 3 are certainly divided. Off the back of the terrific first two entries expectations were high for the return of Ellen Ripley, Hicks and Newt but things didn't exactly turn out well for 66% of those characters. Taking things back to the single monster scare of Alien 1979 David Fincher does his best to elevate the story whilst constantly wrestling with the studio with what resulted in a movie he still very much hates to this day. But Alien 3 is certainly not without it's redeemi...

Aliens - Caravan Of Garbage

There are very few sequels that are able to match the original or potentially surpass it. James Cameron's Aliens is one of those films. Arriving in 1986 seven years after the last it marks the return of Sigorney Weavers Ellen Ripley whom is awoken from cryosleep 57 years after the events of Alien 1979. Great movies and good vibes.

Alien - Caravan Of Garbage

Alien 1979 is a beautiful combination of sci-fi and horror which has rarely been replicated since. With Ridley Scott's direction, HR Giger's unique visual design, unsettling special effects, tight script and a unique exploration of both alien life and artificial intelligence it's no wonder it went to spawn multiple sequels, prequels and spin offs. Probably too many really. Thanks for checking out or Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.gl/pQ39jN Help support the show and get ea...

Logan - Caravan Of Garbage

We're finishing off the Wolverine Trilogy with what's considered it's strongest entry, Logan. A reflection on aging, loss, grief, parenthood and what it means to stab a bunch of people with your clone daughter. Terrific performances all round and an incredible ending to Hugh Jackman's tenure as the titular character. It's a shame we'll never see him again because he died.

Kick-Ass - Caravan Of Garbage

In 2010 we got the second live action Mark Millar comic adaptation in Kick-Ass. Set in the "real world" where superheros only exist in fiction it follows Dave Lizewski as the first person to done a costume and fight crime. The result was something brutal, bloody and funny and a film that was fairly unique for the time enough that it became a moderate success.
