Alien: Romulus - Review
While other kids my age were playing with Ninja Turtles and Hot Wheels, I collected (and sometimes played with) Alien V Predator action figures. I'm talking eight-ish years old; and it wasn't too much longer after that--maybe at 12--that I was introduced to John Carpenter's The Thing on the Sci-Fi channel (back when Saturn was its logo [which is far, far superior to "SyFy," but I digress], ah, the good ol' days). So I've always been fascinated with inhuman, strange organisms, especially that of parasitic functions. Species was another film that had an impact on me. Moral of the story is that the Alien franchise is part of my creative DNA. Alien and Aliens are easily in my top 20 films (I even liked Prometheus, too, although I acknowledge all the plot holes and weird fallacies).
