Aliens

The STARLIGHT ROOM is back with another unhinged Mothers Day celebratory film: ALIENS. The second installment is oft-quoted as the best of the franchise, with Sigorney Weaver returning to her role as Ripley, the woman no man listened to and (SPOILER ALERT) then they all died. "Aliens is the perfect Mother’s Day movie and I will not hear otherwise. Aliens is not a flaccid celebration of all things prim, and proper, and lady-like, but a glorious rebel yell of feminine strength and resilience. James Cameron’s thrilling sci-fi sequel imagines Ripley in a new time, and in a new role. No longer is she just another explorer scrambling for her life. She is the survivor, nay, the expert... she not only proves her worth as a leader, but a protector."-Meghan O'Keefe DECIDER "A thrilling sci-fi sequel wouldn’t immediately be the first place you’d think to look for authentic mother-child drama, but James Cameron’s acclaimed entry in this franchise follows Sigourney Weaver’s central heroine Ellen Ripley as she wakes up after an accidentally prolonged bout of hypersleep to discover that her daughter back on earth has died of old age. Lost, Ripley eventually falls in with a platoon dispatched to the planet from 1979’s first “Alien” film, where she discovers a lone survivor named Newt (Carrie Henn). Ripley naturally takes Newt under her wing and they soon face off with the Alien Queen, in what becomes the ultimate showdown between two really pissed off mothers." -Dan Heching CNNActionPT2H17MR2026-05-10
