Review-Silver Bullet — MichaelCavender.com

Alien Nation (1988) #RetroReview — CineDump

Debuting on October 7th, 1988, Graham Baker’s Alien Nation seems to have only grown in relevance. A sci-fi allegory about racism and immigration, the film delivers on its action beats while keeping it...

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991) #RetroReview — CineDump

Review-In the Tall Grass — MichaelCavender.com
