So what if the Alien creature were way cuter and occupied a lot more ambiguous slot on the benignity-to-malignity scale? And what if it turned into an even cuter toddler and ultimately into a hot young woman (albeit with a bald head and a stinger in her tail, if you catch my drift--no, no, actually my drift is purely [well, OK, mostly] literal)? A teenager with fairly typical teenage issues w/ the 'rents, as well as a few unique ones, and an especially complex Electra complex?Well, you'd have a movie a little like lots of others you've seen but plenty like no movie you've ever seen. And if you had heal honest-to-god actors like Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody in the ham-it-up lead roles, plus the scary-tough-beautiful Simona Maicanescu as their kinda villainous big boss and David Hewlett doing a convincing Tarantino imitation as their dumb, spineless littler boss (yes, swear to god: dude mimics Taratino's acting style), plus the appropriately exotic Delphine Chanéac as the troubled and troublesome teen--well, you'd have some seriously good popcorn fodder.
Sequel looms.
Trailers
- The American--Assassin on his last hit; seems to have little to offer but Clooney, but that's a not-inconsiderable offering
- The Last Exorcism--Pretty sure this will be awful, but gotta admit that the f/x in the trailer got me pretty good.
- Resident Evil: Afterlife--3D!!! Not sure I've ever seen a trailer for one of these before, but it's impossible to deny Milla Jovovich's kick-assedness.
- Lottery Ticket--Well, this is original: someone has a cash windfall, and suddenly everyone wants to get close to the winner. Can't wait!
- Jonah Hex--On the one hand, Josh Brolin vs. John Malkovich; on the other hand, based on a comic book and features Megan Fox.
