The Weekly Reel: Alien Covenant, The Gifted and More
- 7 years ago
Hey, welcome to the Weekly Reel. The place we tell you about the movies you’ll hopefully pay to see but you’ll probably stream for free.
This week, we’re talking Alien: Covenant, and looking behind the scenes at the mother of all movie posters, a new X Men themed TV show, Tom Cruise’s non-stop action addiction, and Denzel Washington soaking himself in a new role.

We’re shaking because… Aliens are back!! Hey, where are you running off to?
In Alien: Covenant, we see Michael Fassbender and his crew attempt to explore a new planet, and well, things get ear-rie. [Trailer A 01;09]
Ah man, the next thing you know, everyone’s dying and you can’t even see what’s going on around you anymore.
Hopefully director Ridley Scott doesn’t interrupt a sunny summer day with two hours of perpetual darkness, and a “scary” alien that you can’t even see.
Also, what’s up with this graphic PSA against shower sex? [01;51]
[02:23 ] Oh yeah... How much do you want to bet Danny McBride dies in this scene? They always kill off the funny guys in cowboy hats.
Take our advice: Go see it, because these are aliens you’re still allowed to dislike.
[Gifted]
X Men fans can rejoice because Fox debuted a trailer for their upcoming mutant oriented show, “The Gifted.”
Finally you can get your comic book fix from the comfort of your couch… And as you can see, even the snacks are free around here.
Really though, you can immediately tell there’s nothing “super” about the TV show’s special effects budget.
Still, enjoy a coming of age tale where two down-on-their-luck siblings discover superpowers, and then the government and the whole town tries to capture and destroy them for being the freaks and geeks that ruined prom.

Jennifer Lawrence is here to ruin your day and make you feel uncomfortable.
Just take a look at this super weird illustration of the actress, ripping her own heart from her chest in the bloody cover art for Darren Aranofsky’s new film, “Mother!” Um, what a psycho.
We shot these pictures of Tom Cruise filming Mission Impossible 6 on the streets – and the rivers – of Paris France. And of course he was riding a motorcycle and a speedboat. Dude’s got “a need for speed”. Plus, you cant save the world unless you travel fast.
Denzel Washington was up to his waist in water when we caught up to him filming Inner City in Venice Beach California. And even though we took these shots, we have no idea what’s going on here. But it certainly looks like fun.
So buy a ticket, kick up your feet and enjoy your overpriced popcorn . We’ll see you next week at the box office.
