A Christmas Treat comes in all guises but this year waking up to this totally dark completely bonkers trailer was unexpected and most welcome – Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel ALIEN: COVENANT looks very distant compared to it’s predecessor and more like the 1979 original that started the ball rolling on one Sci-Fi’s greatest franchises and made Ridley Scott the famed director he is today – Alien: Covenant lands next year and stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Jussie Smollet, Amy Seimetz, James Franco and Danny McBride – here’s the official synopsis:

Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition – Here’s the official movie trailer enjoy and once again a Merry Christmas from Ridley and ourselves here at Absolutebadasses

MACHETE KILLS – (2013) – Movie Review ★★★¾

Cast – Danny Trejo, Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, Michelle Rodriguez, Alexa Vega, Demian Bichir, Jessica Alba, Charlie Sheen & Sofia Vergara – our hero Machete (Trejo) is hired by the President of the United States (Sheen) to bring down the evil Mendez (Bichir) who has a Rocket pointing at Washington VERDICT since Machete’s introduction in 2001’s Spy Kids, the character has made appearances in 5 other features, they include Spy Kids 2 + 3, Planet Terror, Machete and of course Machete Kills – I love these Grindhouse style movies and Rodriguez is the master of the format, his cocktail of insane over-the-top violence, exploding bodies with decapitation a high priority, plenty of cleavage shots and his knack of finding the most wacky but brilliant weapons ever seen on a movie screen are just some of the reasons that make a Rodriguez movie a must see – overall Machete Kills is an exciting sequel with so many superb tongue in cheek performances, Demian Bichir (The Bridge) demonstrates his acting madness, laughing wide eyed like a deranged Hyena playing the villainous Mendez, Charlie Sheen is winning again playing President Rathcock, whilst Lethal Weapon’s Mel Gibson is funny as hell camping it up playing Luther Voz, a Star Wars fan and master villain, whose aim is to rebuild society in space after helping to wipe out Earth – and it’s not just the boys who have all the fun one of the highlights of the film is a terrific showdown between Luz (Rodriguez) & Miss San Antonio (Heard) that’s hotter than hell and full of delicious one-liners & some great fisticuffs – Machete Kills is pure cinematic indulgence, a film that will leave you smiling like a Cheshire Cat and rubbing your hands in excitement for Machete’s next outing….

The Heat (2013) – Movie Review ★★★★

Stars Melissa McCarthy, Sandra Bullock, Demián Bichir and Marlon Wayans – from Paul Feig the director of Bridesmaids comes The Heat – following a straight & by-the-book FBI agent played by Bullock who has to work with a local Boston cop played by McCarthy to take down a local drug lord and his cronies VERDICT with a budget of around the $40 Million mark Paul Feig has once again hit box-office gold – from it’s 80’s style opening credits The Heat is a deliciously funny action movie that has more laugh out loud moments than many of the comedies released this year – it’s action packed, carries a superb soundtrack and along with it’s two leads is jam packed with quality actors filling it’s cast – of course some of the funniest movie scenes involve McCarthy who is at her cringeworthy best, she is at times outrageously out of control, like a stick of dynamite that is threatning to explode at any moment – not since Lethal Weapon have I witness two actors drip chemistry like McCarthy and Bullock they compliment each other perfectly and make the perfect pairing – overall The Heat is a wonderful female buddy cop movie that is refreshing in it’s crudeness and delightful in it’s rudeness…..
