London’s hoodies are about to get more than they bargained for when aliens land in the city and proceed to take over their neighbourhood. Daniel Stephens reviews Joe Cornish’s feature film debut.

In a new feature on Top 10 Films we will be looking at iconic images from the world of cinema new and old. Our first image is the instantly recognisable view of Elliott and E.T. flying past the moon.

I’m in the mood for some eighties science-fiction this week. When I say eighties science-fiction I don’t mean the horror shows of John Carpenter and James Cameron, I’m talking about the innocent romanticism of space seen in child-centric films such as The Last Starfighter, E.T., and Battle Beyond the Stars. For tonight’s Midnight Double Feature we are going to close the curtains and settle down to a double bill of kids heading into the stars. My choices for tonight are Joe Dante’s Explorers and Randal Kleiser’s Flight of the Navigator.

Julia Kukiewicz looks at Terry Gilliam’s ten best films.

Surrogates is a cautionary tale about our increasing reliance on technology. The concept is intriguing as Bruce Willis attempts to piece together a murder plot involving robots and their human users. The film muses on the idea of a society living life where human dysfunction and limitation are discarded in the face of robotic better selves. These cosmetically perfect versions of human beings are controlled by their less than perfect owners who tap into their robot’s artificial intelligence through a neurotransmitter that allows them to live full lives without leaving their home.

Daniel Stephens takes a look back at Alfonso Cuaron’s powerful, dystopian sci-fi starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine.
