As Halloween nears, 'Alien' still delivers the heebie-jeebies
Sunday, October 25, 2009
What: "Alien, " director Ridley Scott's 1979 first installment in the sci-fi horror franchise, starring Sigourney Weaver.
When: 1:30 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 24).
Where: AMC (American Movie Classics) cable and satellite channel.
Why: Let's just pretended producers never decided to cheapen the franchise with all that "Alien-vs.-Predator" ridiculousness, and remember the original as a scare-the-heck-out-of-you thriller. (And one that the AFI ranks as the seventh best in the sci-fi genre.)
As an added bonus, if you're in the mood for a marathon, AMC will show the three sequels -- "Aliens, " "Alien 3" and "Alien Resurrection" -- right after it.
Find the orignal Times-Picayune reviews for "Alien 3" and "Alien Resurrection" below.
