Alien Crap

Welcome back. 
  I'm sure by now people are aware of the movie nerd that I am.  Deal with it.  Moving on to two more garbage movies that almost ruined a franchise, Alien 3 is a great example of why you stop while you're ahead.  Alien and Aliens  are probobly the two of the best sci-fi horror movies ever made. Both are great visual flicks, and are great vehicles for Sigourney Weaver as a female action star. Sadly the third installment of the series was the beginig of a downward spriral.
   First of all, having Weaver shave her head didn't help the cause.  By surrounding her character, Ripley, with a bunch of criminals on a prison planet, also all with shaved heads made it way to difficult to find her hot anymore.  Since this movie takes place like two hundred years after the previous film, the attempt to make this future planet resulted in looking like Schindler's List in color. 
   So Ripley dies at the end of Alien 3, she kills herself by jumping into a pool of lava or some shit because she now has an alien inside of her.  Enter Alien Reserection.  If the last one sounded bad, this one is worse.  Now another few hundred years later, Ripley is alive again, but not.  She is a clone who is created in a space lab, along with the alien that died with her in the last peice of shit.  Needless to say, having Winona Ryder playing a space pirate who happens to also be a robot didn't help.  Screw it, I can't keep thinking about this.  Long story short, more aliens kill some people and eventually a weird mutant alien is sucked through a whole in a spaceship.  Total crap.
   In the end, the Alien  movies are now a little tarnished, but there is a silver ligning.  Thanks to Predator, the Alien  franchise got a second chance. By putting in an alien skull into the second Predator, the sci-fi world got Alien vs. Predator.   First made into a game in the nineties, it was later adapted to a well made movie.  But, that sequal sucked too, so there you go.
