The original The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Little Shop of Horrors. Both excellent!
Covenant, truly a well-made film with excellent score, cinematography, and script.
Substance, a disgusting aimless heap of shock and barely thought out “and then” writing.
Watching Almost Famous again—it still holds up. A true classic!
Alien Romulus. It’s the first alien movie I’ve ever seen. I loved it and am very excited for the sequels.
After finishing, I just started doing some googling and came across a Reddit thread that was bashing this movie to pieces. None of it made sense, but I could only assume it was cause I’ve never seen the first two.
Anyway, I will definitely watch the first two at some point, but I doubt it will make me dislike this movie the way the alien die cards do.
I am not an Alien die hard fan, but I’d say that is definitely a factor. The movie reuses a lot of ideas from the older movies and some of the references are pretty on the nose. Still an entertaining movie though.
As a comparison i think Prey (2022) did a better job in being a fresh entry to a similar and established franchise (predator in this case) and standing on it’s own.
