Bad weather. Body horror. Terrified mortals fleeing in terror from a slippery nightmare. In some respects, 2012‘s Prometheus had plenty of things you’d want in an Alien movie. But like a distorted reflection in a hall of mirrors, Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror prequel felt somehow askew: its characters had little of the earthy believability of the 1979 movie that ignited the franchise, and while some of the scenes were undoubtedly intense, Prometheus was, for the most part,...

2016-10-09T14:50:20-07:00Weekend Box Office: 'Girl on the Train' Dominates 'Miss Peregrine'
Another humdrum weekend at the box office turned out pretty much as everyone expected, with only one of three new wide releases doing respectable business and none of them delivering anything close to a hit performance. The thriller The Girl on the Train was the weekend's top movie, easily surpassing last week's number one, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
The Girl on the Train, which was based on the best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins, came in almost in the middle of the range of estimates offered by experts ahead of its release. The film's weekend domestic gross came out to about $24.7 million, significantly better than the $18 million on the low end of projections but nowhere near the $30 million that some optimists had predicted. The good news is that the film cost less than $50 million to make,...

★★★☆☆ DocHouse kicked off their April programme with the tale of a small, isolated community in Village at the End of the World (2012). A fitting follow-up has been selected in the form of Giovanni Giommi's Bad Weather (2011), which trades the harsh environs of North Greenland for the warmer and wetter Bay of Bengal. Here, the director has discovered a peculiar settlement perilously existing on a sliver of land slowly being eroded away. Whilst Giommi does allude to the islands uncertain future and the encroaching water, his real focus is the unexpected inhabitants, for Banishanta is home to Bangladesh's most remote brothel.
