Should Ridley Scott retire? - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You probably heard the news that Ridley Scott wants to make another Alien film. That was not the controversial bit. The backlash came when he argued that Alien: Romulus, the franchise’s most recent installment, was “just ok’. For context, Ridley made Prometheus and Alien: Covenant in 2012 and 2015, respectively, and people hated both films. Meanwhile, critics and audiences alike believe that Alien: Romulus from 2024 is the best Alien film since James Cameron’s Aliens (1986). In fact, Romulus sin
By Any Means now in cinema - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By Any Means follows a black FBI agent (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) charged with finding the culprits targeting and killing civil rights leaders in Mississippi. The agent teams up with Greg Scarpa (Mark Wahlberg), a renowned mafia hitman, who inevitably pushes him to cross the line.

The author pushed back against that narrative, insisting that his determination to complete The Winds of Winter had not

Read excerpt
In Mutiny 2026, Jason Statham plays Cole Reed, who was framed for the murder of his billionaire boss. He boards a cargo ship intent on getting revenge. Instead, he stumbles across an international conspiracy. Mutiny has received mixed reviews (50 per cent ritics, 85 per cent audience), which is exactly what you expect from every generic Jason Statham-led action flick. To be fair, his films are usually quite entertaining, mostly because of Statham’s charm. Mutiny 2026 was in the news a few days a
Colorism eating away at Hollywood - The Observer Media Ltd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Children of Blood and Bone, a 2018 YA romantic fantasy novel by Tomi Adeyemi, a Nigerian-American novelist, follows a young heroine who undertakes a mission to return magic to the Kingdom of Orisha, opposing the ruling class in the process.
