TODAYS MOVIE

ALIEN (1979): NYTimesBest1176Movies; Ridley Scott mindblower. It is as scary now as it was then and that is sitting in my own house with the dog over in the corner and the certain knowledge that it is scary and that I 'know' which parts are going to reach out and get me. It is still scary. I am still a bit agog.

It is interesting to see the younger (25 years) actors (l. to r.): Yaphet Kotto, John Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, and Harry Dean Stanton. Ian Holm, who we last saw as Grandpa Hobbit sailing off into the sunset, is not in this picture. And for good reasons; or bad. It is a great movie: 4 out of Netflix 5.
