James is probably one of the most passionate movie critics on the internet. Even not so well recieved or bad movies get a fair chance.
-
From the perspective of the “Alien”; the movie is Die Hard.
-
I personally LOVED how the “game over” sound byte of Bill Paxton was used in the SNES version of Alien3 when you get, obviously, a game over!
-
I miss when only James did Monster Madness movie reviews.
-
AVP (2004) suffers from 'de-gore-ing' to get the PG-13, but AVPR (2007) sacrificed story for gore in order to get an R. Both movies were hurt by the lack of middle ground.
-
Fun fact: Vasquez is played by the same actress, that played John Connors foster-mother
-
13:59 Bill Paxton, the only actor who had the honor of being killed by the three movie history icons: Alien, Predator and Terminator! 😂😂
-
Laughed hard at the comment at the end. "No discernible dialogue, just aliens and predators in space killing each other for an hour and a half. Instead of focusing on a bunch of douchebags caught in the crossfire." That sounds like a surrealist masterpiece.
-
"I can't think of anything more disturbing than a living creature inside you body ready to burst out" - You must have been so comforting when your wife was pregnant... :)
-
Cameron wanted the Marines and their vehicles to have a Vietnam type of attitude and ascetic to them, a really good choice in my opinion!
-
Aliens is my all time favorite movie and it aged so well. The Thing and Aliens are both great examples of why practical effects were better.
-
I love Sigorney Weaver as an actress. Especially when she sleeps above the covers... 4 feet above the covers. Lol. No but seriously, awesome review of an awesome series.
-
what bugs me the most in these latest prequels is that their tecnology seems much more advanced compared to C-64 tech in Alien, why not make same kind of "retro tech".
-
How about some Alien: Isolation for James and Mike Monday?
-
That said my biggest issue with the film is the attempt to weaponize the xenomorph. Sure you can drop a bunch of huggers on your enemies home world or base but after the xenomorphs wipe out your enemies you still have to destroy them, which would seem more difficult in most respects since they’re near perfectly adapted killing Machines that when destroyed produce highly acidic blood that destroys their surroundings
-
The funniest part to me was when the guy shot the spider. Not because of the scene itself, but rather the MOMENT that he pulled the trigger, an Ad played. As if he killed the thing with advertising.
-
I saw AvP while I was living in Japan. At night, mobile billboards would cruise around Tokyo. Mobile billboards were just that, billboards mounted on a truck (Japan loves doing this) but the AvP billboard were a cut above the rest. They'd cart around these larger than life-size statues of the alien and the predator about to duke it out. It was awesome!
-
Aliens is probably my favorite movie of all time. Perfect blend of everything you could possibly want in a movie.
-
Always come back and watch these cinemassacre reviews and sequelathon, refreshes my nostalgia everytime, Thank you James.
