but Banks does everything she can to communicate with the aliens before that can happen. This is definitely a more intelligent take on communicating with aliens than has been seen in previous movies about such. This is less "blood and guts" and more of what could happen if we peacefully ap...
The plot is standard but well done: bad guy con man makes himself the go-between communicating with the Germans running the town on one side and the families of the Gestapo’s captives on the other, taking his own cut of whatever bribes and payments are passed back and forth. Then the ...
The movie finds Nostrmo survivor Ellen Ripley going back to the planet her crew originally visited in "Alien" to investigate colonists who have stopped communicating. Weaver is fantastic and is able to be compassionate while interacting with the films pseudo daughter (Newt) while also kicking ...
Cowboys & Aliens (2011) Universal Cowboys & Aliens (2011) Steven Spielberg has had a habit through the years of finding obscure indie comics and turning them into movies. That’s how he launched one of his biggest franchises as a producer, Men in Black. And that’s also where one of ...

Spider-Man is a minor player in Infinity War, but he does get several fine moments, including the immortal line “You ever see this really old movie Aliens?" Plus Tom Holland delivers a Hall of Fame caliber death scene, as he pleads with, and even apologizes to, a shell-shocked Tony ...
I even notice this trend in action shows, as opposed to just sitcoms. In the new version ofV, there is no Donovan fighting the good fight against the aliens. Now a woman is the smart and useful leader of the group while the guys are either wusses or over-the-top testosterone fueled ho...
The housekeeper, Moon-gwang, suddenly shows up in the middle of it all needing to retrieve “something” from the basement — and it’s revealed that her husband Geun-sae has been secretly living in a bunker under the house for years, communicating with head-banged Morse code through the ...
