Yet Another Movie

For fans of the Alien series, another movie is coming to theaters. As a B-flick aficionado, I have mixed feelings about this. First, I absolutely loved Alien. In 1979 when it premiered, I was too young to see it in theaters so I bought the book, the photojournal, and had all of the collector cards. I [...]
