Ever hear the expression "Make Love Not War"? Well, apparently said message has made its way into the deepest reaches of our galaxy. Or at the very least the UK. Check out this latest crop of images that will bring a little love to your Friday!

What we have here is cosplay taken to an insanely adorable and kind of creepy level. Aw, you lovable and lethal loonies. Congrats, you crazy kids! The universe may never be the same. The funny thing? This is still better than either of the Alien vs. Predator movies. Then again, the jury might still be out on Avp: Requiem if only for the simple fact that it was impossible to tell just what the hell was going on.

In any event check out the goodies below, and for more hit the link at the bottom of the page.

Shane Salerno is best known as a screenwriter on films such as Armageddon, Shaft, Avpr: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem and more recently, Oliver Stone's Savages. This year, however, he's gone behind the camera for the new documentary Salinger, which was recently acquired by The Weinstein Co. and will be released in theaters this September followed by a release on PBS in January 2014, which is to say, yes, this will be eligible for Best Documentary this year. The film, as I'm sure you've already surmised, centers on author J.D. Salinger, the famously private literary icon and author of "Franny and Zooey", "Nine Stories" and "The Catcher in the Rye". Salerno is also co-authoring a biography on Salinger with David Shields, titled "The Private War of J.D. Salinger", which will be published by Simon & Schuster and hit shelves in September.

Anghus Houvouras comes to the defense of Alien 3...

Alien 3 > Aliens

I made this statement while writing a follow up to The Five Most Disappointing Films of All Time article.  There were a few readers who suggested Alien 3 should have been included on the original list.  I debated that assertion and quickly found a growing army of Alien 3 haters who believe the film is an abomination.  Some went so far to claim that there are only two Alien films and that everything after Aliens is nothing more than a sad reflection of a franchise that has been oft maligned and left for dead.

Film fans certainly love the hyperbole, don't they?

Sure, Alien: Resurrection is not a great film.  The Alien vs. Predator series proved that some concepts can be executed with blunt brutality.  Watching those movies is like witnessing the unrelenting murder of an interesting idea. »

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

A lot has been said and written since Codemasters’ Aliens: Colonial Marines was released on the crest of a wave of major potential (thanks to the property), and unfortunately for the developers, most of it seems to have been largely negative.

But does Aliens: Colonial Marines really deserve the hate?

Well, not exactly. Colonial Marines seems to have been unfairly judged because of what it could have been rather than what it actually is. Yes, after seven years, and with the weight of the Aliens franchise behind it, it should have been great, and instead we have something that is largely inconsistent and painfully disappointing, but there is still some fun to be had.

The multiplayer is great fun, the action is occasionally as engaging as we were always lead to believe it would be by the early trailers and art, and the story is actually not horrible by any means. »

Regardless of the abundance of male directors in horror, this genre pretty much belongs to the fairer sex. Think about it – how many time have we watched a film where the majority of men are drooling, sex obsessed morons who spend the best part of the story inebriated or getting violently disposed of by a maniac who often bears the Y chromosome? Whoever said women in horror were just limited to suffering and killing the big bad beastie at the end of yet another formulaic teenie kill flick, are clearly not looking hard enough but that said, the best of the female villains often miss out of the kudos they rightly deserve. This is our brief run-down of  just a small gathering some of the greats . (Warning: Spoilers!)
