Erika (17788 KP) rated Captive State (2019) in Movies
Mar 16, 2019 (Updated Mar 18, 2019)
The plot of this film interested me immediately. This is not an alien-invasion film, it's an alien occupation film. It was definitely a nice change. The aliens only appear a few times, and you don't really know anything about them, other than they sounds like cicadas in the summer when they communicate and live underground.
John Goodman's character was my favorite, by far, and you could tell that not everything was as it seemed. I liked the Trojan Horse analogy, which is very apt for the plot. You can kind of figure out what's going on, and as the banner photo shows, you know John Goodman's character eventually goes down to the tunnels.
Overall, it was a different, refreshing movie and well worth a watch.

A compilation of Alien(s) stories, set during the events of all 4 of the original movies (Alien, Aliens, Ali3n and Alien: Resurrection), with a large portion of these concentrating on just-about-everybodies favourite characters from the second movie: that of the Colonial Marines.
As a compilation, some of these stories are better than others: the stand-outs (to me) are the one about Bishop, the one about the history of the Pulse Rifle (yes, seriously! Somebody actually took time to write up a piece on that!) and the one told from an Alien Point-of-view (such as it were).
However, some of the others seem overly-formulaic: Marines get sent to distant planet that has lost communication with the inhabitants, to find the Weyland-Yutani has a hand in the proceedings ...

Jesters_folly (230 KP) rated Star Trek: The Animated Series in TV
Jul 23, 2020
Star Trek: the animated series is also known as season 4 of the original series. Kirk, Spock and the rest of the original cast return for one more run of 22 episodes. The are joined by new, alien crew members and tangle with Klingon's, Romulan's, Tribbles and Harry Mudd as well as a whole host of new races and beings.
Being animated means the aliens can look less human and the crew find themselves in more bizarre adventures.
The animated series has the same tone as the original series and the stories, although shorter have a very similar feeling. There are a few stories that seem to have influential later episodes from other series, including the first holo-deck story although here it's just known as the rec room.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Wanted: Dead or Undead (Zombie West #1) in Books

Forget Cowboys Vs. Aliens, this is Cowboys Vs. Zombies and it's much more fun.
It had a bit of everything I like in a book: romance, adventure, cowboys...and I kinda like zombie books, too (though they have to have a bit of romance in them as well). It didn't shirk on the horror details either with some rather creepy scenes involving one family.
I really liked Trace/Cowboy and Elisabeth/Red. They were both really great characters and I have to say that Cowboy seemed like the ideal guy to meet in a wild west zombie apocalypse. As for Red, she was pretty kick-arse. The secondary characters were cool too.
I'm very intrigued as to what will happen next in the series and can't wait to read the second book in the series.
