Ghost Elephants review: Werner Herzog, too, has a long memory Mesmerizing from the first moment to the last, yet another title of note in what remains one of the most incredible filmographies of our time.

Five years ago, I published my first book! It’s about feminism & theology & the Alien movies. I’ve since seen Alien Romulus, which I’m both delighted and horrified to say lives up to my grand unified thesis about the films. I wrote a second edition in response. Signed copies can be preordered here.

Midwinter Break movie review & film summary (2026) | Roger Ebert It proves to be such an overly ponderous exercise that, by the time it finally comes to an end, you may feel so sapped of energy that find yourself struggling to get up out of your seat.
