I finished watching three movies from 3 decades that span 50 years apart!

I began the day watching Aliens which was released in 1986. I saw Alien last weekend, great movie for those who like thriller sci-fi. So I have to continue the saga in the next movie. Aliens was even better than Alien because of the technology and realness of the movie. Even 20 years later it is very convincing and awesome. Now I am half way ready to see the new movie Alien Vs. Predator.

The second feature of the day was Blow, released in 2001, starring Johnny Depp. I knew this movie was about drugs but by the promotional poster I expected more Penelope Cruz. Good movie showing the misfortune of drugs.

The last feature tonight was Cool Hand Luke released in 1967. This movie had the atmosphere of a movie in which James Dean would have starred. However, Paul Newman with his unforgettable smile did a great job playing a rebel without a cause. His gain was never giving in or giving up. Always fight to the end. This is one of those movies that would be considered a classic. I also bet that most people my age or younger would have such a difficult time sitting through two hours of this movie. It’s not as fast paced as your average MTV style movies that are the norm of today’s cinematic experience.

Three movies, three decades, 50 years. All three excellent movies in their own respects.

My computer won’t boot up… I hope it boots up tomorrow so I can back everything up…
