10 Brilliantly Stupid TV Guide Descriptions Of Classic Movies
9. Alien 3
Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) believe it or not is back to battle the creature in this sequel set on a dismal penal colony.
Alien 3 certainly isn't the most beloved film in the Alien franchise but there are still some great moments to enjoy; Charles Dance, Paul McGann, Weaver as a tragic, tough-as-nails Ripley and an evolution of the classic monster that invoked the horror of the first Alien. Unfortunately this reviewer either a) shared the sentiments of many that this was a pointless sequel or b) was not a fan of the Alien saga as a whole. Their comment 'believe it or not' is dripping with sarcasm and the use of the word dismal applies to the whole film. They obviously have no love for David Fincher's unique vision. Just imagine what they might have written about Alien: Resurrection.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
