Shoah: 70 Years after the Liberation of Auschwitz
On the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Simon Columb revisits Shoah… A 9-hour film, Shoah is the definitive documentary on the holocaust.

The Calloway Way – Why The New Alien Movie Might Disappoint
This week Neil Calloway is wary of Neill Blomkamp’s Alien film… When Neill Blomkamp released some of the artwork for his proposed Alien film, I was impressed – concept art for science fiction films is often better than the films themselves – and mentally filed it in my “great unmade films” drawer.

How Breaking Bad Dropped the Ball
Anthony Stokes on how Breaking Bad dropped the ball… Breaking Bad will probably go down in history as the greatest show on television.
