Caught Stealing Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a great throwback to an earlier genre I have very much missed in the theatre. Austin Butler continues his impressive streak as his Star continues to rise in Hollywood. The film is frenetic journey through the underbelly of 90s crime in New York. While there is a chaos to the journey that Austin goes on the film still has several comedic moments to lighten the mood when needed. The stellar cast is entertaining through and through which makes for a very enjoyable watch.

Alien: Earth Alien: Earth offers everything you’d expect from the Alien franchise but for the first time in a television format. The show has a prestige feel that allows the world to feel much more tangible than your typical science fiction show. Noah Hawley continues his winning streak with Legion and Fargo. The main cast is each given their own individual motivation while also dealing with the external threat from one of cinema’s most famous creatures. The cerebral presentation of the story is extremely captivating, but simultaneously, the tension that builds from episode to episode will have you on the edge of your seat. If you are a fan of the horror elements from the 1979 film you will not be disappointed here!
