“This movie has so many cliches in it,” a boy said when Colonial Marines disembarked the drop ship and made their way through rainy darkness to enter the alien-infested colony. My son told him, “This movie was made in 1986. It invented all the cliches.” Another of his friends was impressed by the “personal data transmitters” implanted in the colonists—impressed that someone had thought of that back in 1986. —MZS | Roger Ebert.

Great article! My girls are screamer/nightmare kids so it’ll be a long time before they see certain movies. I don’t think I’ve even Aliens. I can assure you that I won’t watch Blink from Dr. Who again any time soon.
