AEOS Double Review: Prometheus and Rock of Ages

I suppose I couldn’t pick two more different movies to be reviewing together, but having seen both this past weekend and having each fresh in my mind, I decided to double up on this review. Prometheus Well, I think I’ll always be catching up on movies. I have never seen any of the Alien films until last Friday, when […]
