About Me

My Photo
I am a short story writer hoping to gain inspiration from the greatest films of all-time. I am also seeking motivation to watch these films, many of which I’ve put off seeing for years. I like to think I have achieved both of these goals, at least to a degree. I’m not a movie critic, though I do let an opinion slip out on occasion. I’m just trying to write where my motivation takes me. I’ll continue with it as long as the desire remains strong. The book I am using for my main guidance is "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." I have the 5th edition, but there are newer editions out there.

ALIEN (1979)


The 70's River, Day 25

Alien (1979)
In Space No One Can Hear You Scream...One of the best tags for a movie ever. It’s always interesting to see the beginning of a film franchise when no one involved including the viewer knows where all this is headed. My favorite in the series.

The Scott River
The Scott River began too late in the decade to be associated with the 70’s too much, but I’ll give it credit for getting under the wire and flowing freely often afterwards.

  1. Alien is one of the most frightening sci fi movies I have ever had the pleasure of seeing it when it was released. The trilogy is a must have. The sound and visuals were second to non. 5/5 from me.

  2. Thanks for commenting. I am looking forward to viewing Aliens real soon, though the original is still my favorite.
