Black Moon

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 19:17:21 GMT

Malle's experimental and dreamlike apocalyptic fairytale. A young girl tries to escape film's reality and comes to a hidden place where a strange unicorn lives with a family: Sister, Brother, many children and an old woman that never leaves her bed but stays in contact with the world through her radio. Intriguing stuff.

That's a one big fat-ass unicorn for sure.

A Clockwork Orange

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 18:29:29 GMT

Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. In future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge is jailed and volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem. Scary but fun.

After some ultra-violence, a nice glass of milk tastes real good.

Before skynet, there was colossus. An artificially intelligent supercomputer is developed and activated, only to reveal that it has a sinister agenda of its own. This dystopia is threathened by nuclear war. One of the forgotten gems of the 70's sci-fis.

People are starting to get anxious at the command centre. Please remove your suit jackets.

Spielberg's UFO classic. After an encounter with UFOs, a line worker feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen. Friendly aliens for once.

Let there be light.

Dark Star

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 18:41:55 GMT

Carpenter's low budget sci-fi. In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong. They must cope with a runaway alien which resembles a beach-ball, faulty computer systems, and a "smart bomb" who thinks it is God.

I bet Sigourney Weaver wouldn't have so hard time fighting this alien.
