Alien 3


Ripley: This is a maximum security prison, and you have no weapons of any kind?

Andrews: We have some carving knives in the abattoir, a few more in the mess hall. Some fire axes scattered about the place - nothing terribly formidable.

Ripley: That's all?

Andrews: We're on the honor system.

Ripley: Then we're fucked.



Alien 3
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance
Written by David Giler, Walter Hill, Larry Ferguson
Directed by David Fincher
Plot: It's round three of Ripley versus the alien -- this time on a prison planet.

"Enjoyable. Not the best of the series, but definitely worth watching mainly due to the direction of David Fincher."

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2


Jacob Black: Lot of red eyes around here...


The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner
Written by Melissa Rosenberg
Directed by Bill Condon
Plot: Vampires, werewolves, and some very bad vampires all feud over the birth of a half-human, half-vampire child that may endanger mankind in the final chapter of the Twilight Saga featuring the infamous Edward, Bella, and Jacob.

"Lots of cheese and bad acting consume this movie as expected... but yet I find myself always coming back for more from the Twilight Saga. A nice battle sequence climax makes the movie worthwhile, but I am very glad the series is now over. Hopefully..."
