Top 250 Movie Review: Aliens

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you've come to find this entry!  Tonight I'm looking at another top 250 flick, this time #66, Aliens.  It stars Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn and Carrie Henn.  "The moon from Alien (1979) has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, but will it be enough?"

• 2.5 hours?  That is a long time for a horror/thriller
• This is why aliens will hate us, that thing looks like a gun!
• What the hell is Paul Reiser doing in this flick?
• His hair is awesome!
• Oh it was a dream, that is sad
• They still use dot-matrix printers in the future?  That is...weird
• Weaver does a good job at "angry"
• What did they do with the ship should be the next question Ripley
• Ugg, this flick is too dark at times too
• First its all fun and games then it is running and screaming and dying.  Malcom was right all along!
• I don't like the short hair
• Lots of smoking in the future too, must make safe cigs
• Even the ships in the future look like guns, whats up with that?
• Paxton plays a good "grunt" 
• Again in the future they use a lot of "strobe" lights
• Everyone is dead, nuke the planet and be done with it!
• Are they looking at a hive or a nest of some kind?
• Funny how the Predator and Alien nests look very similar
• Was that a body?
• Marine or not I'd be like "Fuck this"
• Well that nuclear explosion thing is sounding good
• That car thingy looks a little bit like the batmobile 
• I wonder if we will ever find out why they are so aggressive toward others
• Finally a few people talking with logic.  Ripley and Hudson
• Why would they sit there with the ramp down?  That doesn't make sense
• That isn't Spunkmeyer sunshine
• YES!  THERE WAS THE LINE!  MOSTLY!
• Is that a microfiche machine?
• Of course it was the "companies" fault
• Do people not watch movies in the future?  Of course you're going to run into one Burke!
• Leave the kid, it is too late for her.  Nuke the place!
• I still don't trust Bishop
• Ah we're playing Dead Rising now, making weapons with other weapons and duct tape
• Ah yes there is the steam that we always get in Sci-Fi flicks especially Alien flicks
• Its like the slurm queen on Futurama!
• Do they talk telepathically?
• Did Queeny just rip off her own reproductive organ?
• This movie is a little drawn out but not horrible for 2.5 hours
• I knew not to trust Bishop!  
• Queeny went down awful easily....
• HERES QUEENY!  
• Queeny moves weird, like a retarded T-Rex
• Why does Queeny want that little girl so bad?
• Why is James Cameron so obsessed with Exosuits
• I really like the lack of music here at the end, makes it much more intense
• This is why I never tie my shoes
• Mommy?

Well that was interesting.  Part of me liked this one more than the first.  I felt it was more of a "story" than just random violence and action.  That isn't that the first was bad but it was dark and not a lot of story.

Overall I give the flick an 8/10.  Slight above average for me but nothing amazing.
