80’s Movies Monday, Best of the Best: Aliens
We have another pick up from Sheila! Why? Because she likes me, I think.
Or maybe she’s just a big fan of the 80’s. I’m going with the first thing. Again, you can find her blogging for b5media at Medium Dreams and personally at GetSheila. Check her out; she’s funny AND smart. Crazy, I know….
Here are her thoughts on Aliens:
Aliens. Space, monsters, men in uniform, a strong female protagonist, and let us not forget…that’s right!…Michael Biehn.
Thanks so much, Sheila!
added after comments (from Sheila): I can’t believe I forgot to mention Carrie Henn, the little girl who played Newt and was an excellent screamer. Rumor had it she spent part of her childhood in Atwater, where I grew up, cuz her dad was Air Force.

I was not aware that anyone else shared my love of the completely underrated Michael Biehn. Sheila is like my sould sister. Love him in all movies, even when he is crazy in the Abyss.
Jack: Or your soul sister, one of those.
I’ve told you many times that I think you’d love Sheila. Too bad she can’t fly out here for our 80’s party.
Ooh, an 80’s party! Wish I could be there for that. I neglected to mention Carrie Henn, who played Newt: excellent screamer.
P.S. Yes I DO like you. Silly.
Sheila: It’s gonna be gnarly, if we ever get around to planning it.
And thanks.
