A Witches’ Ball
A Witches’ Ball is a 2017 family-friendly fantasy film directed by Justin G. Dyck. The story follows Beatrix, a young witch eager to join the Witching World. However, when her pending magical status is jeopardized, Beatrix and her pet rat Muggs (voiced by Joey Fatone) must work together to solve three magical riddles before the big event. The film combines elements of magic, adventure, and coming-of-age themes, making it suitable for children and families. The movie features performances by Morgan Neundorf as Beatrix, Karen Slater, and Loukia Ioannou. It has a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes and is rated PG for some mild rude humor.
Alien 3: The Assembly Cut (Director’s Cut)
Full Description
In the haunting aftermath of Aliens, Lieutenant Ellen Ripley crash-lands on Fiorina 161, a bleak, windswept prison planet inhabited by male inmates with apocalyptic religious beliefs. With no weapons and no hope of escape, Ripley must face her worst nightmare once again—an alien creature has followed her.
But this time, it’s different.
The Assembly Cut—a reconstructed version of director David Fincher’s original vision—restores over 30 minutes of lost footage and restructures key plot points to deliver a more emotionally resonant and thematically cohesive experience. Gone is the theatrical version’s abrupt pacing and studio interference. In its place is a slow-burning, character-driven descent into despair, redemption, and sacrifice.
This version features:
- A new origin for the alien, bursting from an ox instead of a dog.
- Expanded character arcs, especially for prisoners Golic and Dillon, revealing deeper layers of faith, madness, and leadership.
- Restored scenes of community and ritual, emphasizing the prisoners’ cult-like belief in divine punishment.
- A far more tragic and philosophical tone, underscoring Ripley’s final act of defiance as a powerful closing chapter in her journey.
Alien 3: The Assembly Cut is not just a film—it’s a requiem. It reclaims the narrative from compromise and presents a bold, uncompromising vision of isolation, mortality, and one woman’s final confrontation with the creature that has haunted her life.
