You must have seen this movie by now. If you haven't then why not. this is one of those films that must be seen and will always be part of our film history.

I like it because of the way it is shot. It is claustrophobic, the scenes in the general parts of the spaceship give a feeling that these people are living on top of each other and that creates stress and tension.

The lighting is cold, fluorescent and sometimes over dazzling. this also creates a feeling of high anxiety.

add to this the Alien, a double crossing robot and a ship that is about to blow up and you have great film.

To me this film is just short of the mark for enjoyment. I did not enjoy the characters i found all the shouting and swearing unnecessary. It has been the fashion for year to portray the north of England as a hard done by hard nosed area. Well this is very boring and film makers should find another way of telling a story of this part of the country.

The story of a young boy who want to do something that will be accepted in his world is a good one. but i feel that it could have been told better. Major parts of the plot had no background. i sat through it confused. why did the brother behave so harsh? what happened the the mother?

Sorry a poor film in my view.

I found this film OK but I think there were pasrts that just did not work.

This is a story about two people who meet during the Amerfian Civil war. He goes off to fight, she stays and waits for him.

My first problem was i did not think the director developed the love story enough. It was love at first sight but not convincing enough for me. I kept asking myself, why has she fallen for this guy she has only just met? Once the film gets going it was quite watchable. There is a bit of gore with he battle scenes and the war is a constant part of the plot with shootings all through.

The acting is good although for my English taste I think Zelleweger does a a bit too much over acting.

All in all worth watching.
