Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

When the Alien prequels were released about a decade ago now, I wasn’t exactly a fan. To me, sidelining the monster in favor of the story of David 8 seemed a disservice to what came before. Why was it so hard to do a smart, stylish monster movie in the spirit of the original trilogy? So, needless to say, had Alien: Earth been released around … Continue reading Alien: Earth’s Odd But Interesting Use of the Alien – ScreenHub Entertainment

‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment

Alien: Romulus is about to release and I figured I’d try and slip in a few Alien-related films before going to check out Fede Álvarez’s entry. I had already watched Ridley Scott’s original Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens somewhat recently, so that left the option of going to Aliens 3 or venturing back to Prometheus, a film I haven’t seen since its theatrical release. And … Continue reading ‘Prometheus’ Is Actually An Interesting Sci-Fi Film, But Not A Great ‘Alien’ Film – ScreenHub Entertainment
