A rare thing, a sequel that can stand alone; better than the original some might even say, but one which always was always standing on the shoulders of a giant. Ridley Scott's seminal 'Alien' made in 1979. The character of Ripley (written as a male character and cast as a female, it has been claimed) and the incredible conceptual artwork of HR Geiger common to both films.<br />Although multiple viewings were as much borne of the mind numbing trawl through the straight-to-video second-rate american pap that built the internal walls of the late '80s video rental store. There wasn't much to chose from frankly. Something easy to forget in this multi-channel on-demand age. Later discoveries of European cinema thanks to the Edinburgh Filmhouse brought the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, Leo Carax, Krzysztof Kieslowski and so many more. And the video rental store was abandoned. I still like a wee sherry though .... c'est plus la meme chose... (Sister Claire's friend Cathy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
