Re: October 26th Blu-ray Releases
The Alien anthology is such a mixed bag that it’s difficult to pick them all as a group. The original Alien was among the best Sci-Fi horror/suspense thrillers ever made. Aliens was probably one of the best sequels ever made and was more of an action movie than a horror flick, thanks to James Cameron at the helm. The audience already knew what to expect from the little beasties so it was just a matter of who was going to kick who’s ass and when. The remaining two Alien movies aren’t even worth mentioning and actually diminish the quality of the first two when bundled together. The first two will always be at the forefront of my favorite all-time movies.
Back to the Future was fun, but I wouldn’t sit through the entire showing more than once or twice. I’ve seen both Alien and Aliens more times than I can count and I’d watch them both again in a heartbeat. I can probably count the number of movies I can say that about on one hand.
