Peering from the darkness, inhabiting the rhythms of the Nostromo, is not an Alien, but a cat. A curious Ginger Tom, comfortable as it strolls through the Baroque hallways, rumbling along with the ca-clunks of doorways and the sinister bursts of steam. It is not a human, which is obvious but essential to understand as its nature is fundamental for survival. Any delusions of morality are unknown to Jones (or Jonesy), for it only knows how to sustain itself,…

Rigorously grounded and minimalist, The Martian succeeds because it feels like a wondrous celebration of Ridley Scott's gorgeous eye for expanses and the turmoil that bellows within. More than anything else, The Martian worships science and its ability to overcome problems, and as a result, terrifying horror and distinct victory oozes from Scott's tight direction. This is a 2 hour and 20 minute adventure, and it feels longer than that, but in a good way of course. It's a drawn-out spectacle that surprisingly flows as a cohesive story of intimacy and vast discovery. I found it inspiring.

"Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shoulders...burning with the fires of Orc."
Do the shadows play with us? We don't control their existence, but we can manipulate them, jumping and scurrying as they struggle to keep up. The clustering corridors of people maneuvering through alleys and side-streets only reinforces the aching tragedy of the world and humanity's yearning to escape from the eternal rain. Danger and invention practically married each other, with the greatest wonders of…

Alien is everything.
Throughout my years as a film-fan, mainly unconsciously, I've searched for another Alien. A film that combines story, character, pacing, effects, cinematography, soundtrack, and direction of a mountainous order into something tangible and real. Films have come close, don't get me wrong, but nothing has touched the cinematic perfection of Ridley Scott's horrific masterwork. Even though Alien has already been made and revered for so long, I still kinda hope, within the realms of my cinephile mindset,…

Yearning. Touch, feeling, skin, beauty; the search for something tangible. Seeking. Love, fear, sadness, disillusion; the search for something deeper. A simple calling of a name evokes so much more, as the silence on the other end defies simple emotion. Waiting, waiting, waiting for a answer. The fog, the mist, the darkness; it all envelops everyone and everything that seeks something real. In a world that has lost everything after gaining everything, it only makes sense that a human…

A simple, effective, frightening, demented, Gothic, and beautifully terrifying masterpiece of audacious proportions; Ridley Scott's Alien is one of the finest films ever made, and the coolest thing is that this isn't even Ridley's best work.
The atmosphere is oppressive and violating, the visuals are nightmarish and startling, the direction is subtle and free-flowing, the screenplay is wondrous in its simplicity and cohesiveness, the acting is terrific from everyone involved, the music is absolutely chilling, the production design is outstanding…
