    Sci-Fi & Horror all rolled in one....


    I had the luxury of sorts of seeing this movie as a kid.  Granted, I may have been too young to see the movie, but my Dad and I shared a love for Sci-Fi and he took me to see this with him at the Drive-In.  Wonder how many Viners have been to a Drive-In Theatre......
     
    Regardless,  I  was enamored with Sigourney Weaver and I also damn near pooped myself during the scene where the alien breaks through the character's chest.  Oh, yeah, I think it made a lot of people jump, and that scene alone is worth watching, even if the FX may seem a bit dated, I think it still holds up today.   
     
    To reveal too much of the movie would be a disservice if you've somehow not seen it already, so all I can say is to either rent this Classic Sci-Fi/Horror movie or just go out and buy it, because:   In space.....no one can hear you scream.......

    My Dad took me to see Jaws II when I was four.  I still hate swimming.

      Alien by the_angry_comic_book_critic on January 22, 2011

      By The Angry Comic Book Critic           "In Space No One Can Hear You Scream." That has to be one of the most memorable tag lines in cinematic history and it is to expected to have come from an amazing film. Alien this probably has to be Ridley Scott's greatest achievement I mean I have yet to meet one person who does not know of this Sci-fi classic. Now I love this movie to death but my god I had no idea the characters in this film aside from Ripley were so fucking retarded I mean you ha...
