From the future director of Dirty Harry comes the original “body snatcher” movie. You know the story. You’ve seen this or one of its three remakes. I’ve now seen all of them. I saw them in the following order: 3, 4, 2, 1. Since I grew-up on sci-fi and horror films from the 80s, I …

An engrossing science fiction thriller about an astronomer who discovers the existence of alien life and then gets embroiled in a conspiracy as the aliens try to stop him from discovering their secret. Smart and very underrated. I saw this in the theatre only because I’d pretty much seen everything else released at the time. …
A mind-bending, time-travel actioner. Clever, air-tight script that neatly ties up all of the loose ends that can develop with multiple timelines. Effortlessly entertaining and frequently amusing. Solid performances from the whole cast, one of Willis’ best roles in years. I love when a movie makes you think.
