  1. #Movies #DVDs

    I just watched #AlienRomulus on DVD. I liked it better than #Furiosa which I gave a 6 & I liked it better than #Fury Road which I gave a 7.

    So, just to be consistent, I'd give #Romulus an 8. However, I'd drop all those ratings by 1 when compared with better films.

    The ending in #Romulus was just as predictable as the ending in Furiosa but I found the movie more engaging & it had some surprises along the way that I wasn't expecting.

    I liked that way that the main character channels #Ripley.

    In terms of the chronology of events Romulus apparently comes between #Alien1 (1976) & #Aliens2 (1986).

    Didn't like the weird hybrid #Alien all that much but it made sense in the context of the film & it's a nod to the hybrid in #AlienResurrection (1997) which comes much later in the series.

    Not a GREAT movie but certainly entertaining and a respectable addition to the now 9 movie Alien series IMO.

  2. What is the term for actors such as #JenettGoldstein, who had non-headlining roles in several classic movies? Is there a term?

    Goldstein was in #Aliens2, #Terminator2, (#Terminator2JudgementDay), and #TitanicFilm, among others.

    #AdultESOL class finished today, so watching Aliens 2 with the dogs while pretending to prep a midterm for #K12 reading class this week.
