Independence Day: Resurgence has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. Its cynicism and contempt for its audience, and even its own characters, is breathtaking.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers: revisiting the masterful 1978 remake
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the best remakes ever made and one of my favourite movies too. Deeply unsettling, wonderfully filmed and a bit of a lesson in how to do horror right.

In defence of Independence Day – fireworks, fun and a ton of goofy heart
Independence Day (or ID4, as it was incongruously labelled by the studio, and now lazily typed by me) gets a bad rap. It doesn't have the greatest acting in the world. The plot has holes large enough to pilot a Death Star through, and yes, we all know about the Mac Virus thing at the end. On the surface it hasn’t got a lot going for it.
