Independence Day: Resurgence- For the nth time, the leads are immortals (Roland Emmerich made that unforgivable and most obvious mistake in 2012). They don't seem to die in the most near-death experiences so they must be immortals. The first Independence Day was top-notch I considered it as a favorite, but this one was crappy. Even the drama moments (because in every apocalyptic story there has to be that moment of sacrifice)--looked too contrived.
Not recommended.

The Awakening (2011)
A skeptic in 1921 London goes around debunking hauntings and mediums, but is hired to investigate what might actually be the real thing at a remote boarding school. A really cool twist, very atmospheric, and the jump scares it does have actually lead somewhere and accentuate the plot instead of just being there to get cheap thrills. I can't say much else about it without ruining the film, but if you like supernatural thrillers, I highly recommend this one.

RED PLANET MARS (1952) 3/5.
A small but enjoyable American science fiction film released by the film company, United Artists. The screenplay was written by Anthony Veiller and John L Balderston and was based on the play RED PLANET, which was written by John Hoare and John L Balderston. The film was produced by Anthony Veiller and Donald Hyde and it was directed by Harry Horner, in his directorial debut. The plot involves an American astronomer, who obtains images of Mars suggesting large-scale environmental changes are occurring at a pace that can only be accomplished by intelligent beings with advanced technology. Meanwhile, at the same time, a colleague of his claims to have been contacting Mars by radio, using technology stolen from the Nazis after World War II. It stars Peter Graves, Andrea King, Orley Lindgren, Walter Sande and Marvin Miller. It’s an inoffensive little piece that is mildly thought-provoking and includes an interesting message for a B-grade science fiction film from the 1950s.

THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH (1963) 3/5.
THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH - also known as SPACERAID 63 - is an independently made science fiction film. It was written by Harry Spalding and produced and directed by Maury Dexter. The music was by Richard LaSalle and it starred Kent Taylor, Marie Windsor, William Mims, Betty Beall and Lowell Brown. The plot is a cross between THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956). Energy-being Martians duplicate a scientist and his family as a first step toward their invasion of Earth to stop humanity's space programs. The film was shot at the historic Greystone Mansion, in Beverly Hills, California. It was filmed in black-and-white and was hampered by low production values. Despite this, it is still a mildly entertaining little film, with a surprisingly nasty ending.

FOUR SIDED TRIANGLE (1953) 4/5.
Another small, but highly enjoyable science fiction film from the 1950s, which was released by Hammer Film Productions. This time, it’s a British effort, which was written by Paul Tabori and Terence Fisher, based upon the novel FOUR SIDED TRIANGLE by William F Temple. The music was by Malcolm Arnold, the film was produced by Michael Carreras and Alexander Paal and it was directed by Terence Fisher. It stars Stephen Murray, Barbara Payton, James Hayter and John Van Eyssen. The film deals with the moral and scientific themes that would soon to put Hammer Films on the map with films like Terence Fisher’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957), however it has more in common with his later film, FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN (1967). It’s well worth the effort.

SPACE PROBE TAURUS (1965) 2/5.
Another small American science fiction film that was released by American International Pictures. It was written by Leonard Katzman, produced by Burt Topper and Leon D Selznick and directed by Leonard Katzman. The plot involves four astronauts travelling in space encountering alien species, in the search for a planet that Humans may inhabit. It stars James Brown, Francine York, Baynes Barron, Russ Bender, James Macklin, Phyllis Selznick and John Lomma. It’s mostly inoffensive and unremarkable.

INVASION USA (1952) 4/5.
An entertaining and surprisingly grim American film, which was made and set during the Cold War and portrays the invasion of the United States by an unnamed Communist enemy that is meant to be taken as the Soviet Union. It was written by Robert Smith and Franz Schulz, based upon a story by Robert Smith and Franz Spencer. The music is by Albert Glasser, it was produced by Robert Smith, Albert Zugsmith and Joseph Justman and the film was directed by Alfred E Green. The film poses the scenario of a foreign power invading the US with atom bombs. Startling aspects of the screenplay are further parlayed through effective use of war footage secured from the various armed services and the Atomic Energy Commission. However, on a philosophical level, INVASION USA seems to encourages citizens to subordinate their individual needs and desires to that of the state, in order to combat Communism, which is more than just a little ironic when you consider what Communism stood for in the minds of many Americans during that era. It stars Dan O'Herlihy, Gerald Mohr, Peggie Castle, Robert Bice, Tom Kennedy, Phyllis Coates, Noel Neill, Edward G Robinson Junior and Knox Manning as Himself. It comes across as a mildly educational film that gives an interesting insight into a different era.

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) 4/5.
A very good American black-and-white horror film from Universal Pictures. The screenplay was by Harry Essex and Arthur A Ross, based upon the story by Maurice Zimm. The music was provided by Henry Mancini, Hans J Salter and Herman Stein, it was produced by William Alland and directed by Jack Arnold. The plot concerns a geology expedition in the Amazon searching for a piscine amphibious humanoid, after they uncover fossilized evidence from the Devonian period that provides a direct link between land animals and sea animals. The film stars Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, Nestor Paiva, Whit Bissell, Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning. A surprisingly enjoyable and well-made B film. Well worth the effort to see at least once.

THE REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (1955) 3/5.
Also known as RETURN OF THE CREATURE and RETURN OF THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, it is the first sequel to CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. The screenplay was written by Martin Berkeley, based upon a story by William Alland. It was produced by William Alland and directed by Jack Arnold. The plot involves the Gill-man - having previously survived being riddled with bullets - being captured and sent to the Ocean Harbor Oceanarium in Florida, where he is studied by animal psychologist Professor Clete Ferguson and ichthyology student Helen Dobson. The film stars John Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Nestor Paiva, Ricou Browning, Tom Hennesy and Clint Eastwood in his film debut as Lab Technician Jennings. It is surprisingly good for a black-and-white B film and for me at least, the Gill-man never comes across as anything other than a victim - even when he is on the rampage…

THE NAKED CITY (1948) 4/5.
An excellent and highly entertaining film noir about a police investigation into murder. The screenplay by Albert Maltz and Malvin Wald was based upon the story by Malvin Wald. The music was provided by Miklós Rózsa and Frank Skinner, it was produced by Mark Hellinger and it was directed by Jules Dassin. The film received two Academy Awards, one for cinematography by William H Daniels and the other for film editing by Paul Weatherwax. The film depicts the police investigation that follows the murder of a young model, incorporating heavy elements of police procedure. A veteran cop is placed in charge of the case and he sets about, with the help of other beat cops and detectives, to find the girl's killer. The film, shot partially in documentary style, was filmed on location on the streets of New York City and features several landmarks such as the Williamsburg Bridge and the Whitehall Building. It stars Barry Fitzgerald, Howard Duff, Dorothy Hart, Don Taylor, Frank Conroy, Anne Sargent, Adelaide Klein, Enid Markey, Virginia Mullen and Mark Hellinger as the Narrator. The film later inspired the TV series NAKED CITY.
