S4: The Bob Lazar Story (2026)

★★★ — S4: The Bob Lazar Story (2026)

Bob Lazar first came to public attention in 1989, when investigative journalist George Knapp broadcast his claims of having worked on extraterrestrial craft at a classified site near Area 51 in Nevada, a story that has circulated, been disputed, and resurfaced continuously ever since. Canadian director Luigi Vendittelli takes on that legacy here, more than three and a half decades later, in what is a feature-length documentary (running to a considerable 154 minutes) that reunites Lazar with Knapp and long-time friend Gene Huff. The film arrives in a cultural climate where UAP disclosure has shifted from fringe topic to congressional hearing, giving Lazar's original account a renewed and somewhat unexpected mainstream relevance.

If you're a complete novice on Bob Lazar's story this is without doubt the best documentary released so far. However... if like me, you've been following Bob Lazar's story for years, this offers little actual "evidence" or revelations to further his claims. I'd still say I'm a believer, but I wish I hadn't spent £8 to rent this thing.

Fantastic Planet (1973)

René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973) is one of those films that doesn’t really fit anywhere: too cerebral for kids, too odd for animation festivals, too steeped in European political theory for the Saturday-morning slot, and too visually fearless to ignore.

Viy (1967)

Viy (1967) is a strange and almost solitary object in Soviet cinema: a horror film, an actual horror film with monsters and demons and supernatural set-pieces, in a national cinema that mostly didn’t make horror at all. Officially endorsed by Mosfilm and based on a Nikolai Gogol folktale, it

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off.
