Alien Paper Roll Puppets

These items will all go towards helping you create your very own distinctive Alien puppets out of toilet paper rolls. We commend you pick up your items in largely lime green and yellow colors, perhaps even purple, to make for decently colored Aliens from other planets.

Then, you may just push out the face and flatten it a bit to make it more interesting.

Apply a few moving eyes to your Alien’s face and cut four lengths of green fuzzy piping for the Alien’s arms and legs. Voila! You’ve got your very own Alien Toilet Paper Roll Puppet!

Don’t listen to the “official” reviews which appear above
By Josh Leman
Amazon’s reviewer calls this movie overrated and drawn out, while the Leonard Maltin movie guide review seems a bit baffled that galore persons like this kind of entertainment. Don’t listen to either of them. Alien is, rather simply, one of the best movies ever made in both the sci-fi and horror genres. Those who complain that the film takes too long to get going suffer from some kind of cinematic attention span disorder; Ridley Scott draws his scenes out because he wants to build tension and establish a sense of realism before introducing H.R. Giger’s terrifying creation. Unfortunately we may all see that the monster is just a guy in a suit for the duration of the closing sequences when Scott in the long run lets us see what the huge slimy nemesis in truth looks like, but other than as supposed or expected the film hasn’t aged a bit since it came out two decades ago. The DVD is outstanding too, with splendid picture quality and a actually outstanding commentary track, in spite of a good deal of disastrously unsuitable menu screens (the interfaces are all CG-rendered glitz, which in truth doesn’t go with a movie known for it is slow, elegant, quiet suspense). Anyone with any interest in horror or science fiction films in frequent must pick up this classic immediately.

Alien – A true Sci-Fi treasure in the genre!
By K. Wyatt
“Alien” is one of the most intense Sci-Fi thrillers to have ever graced the silver screen or the home theater in any format! It is the film’s intensity that provides such an unbelievable draw to this extraordinary film. If you’re looking for a lot of action, this film is not actually what you’re looking for; “Aliens” is where the intensity and action comes into play in the line of Alien movies; the whole theme behind “Alien” is to scare to pants off of you with exceedingly intense scenes and if you’ve never seen this movie before, it may very well do just that! Never before in the history of this genre had there been a film of this magnitude and few have matched it in it’s intensity since.

Now, with this latest release, fans of “Alien” are treated to the best release of this film yet. The very introductory thing you’ll observe when you put this DVD into your player is that you have the option of playing either the 1979 Theatrical Release or a 2003 Director’s Cut. The 2003 Director’s Cut is preceded by an interesting introduction by Ridley Scott himself. This cut is put together seamlessly and the additions to the film add just that much more flavor to the film, making it that much better. The only downside to this edition and I believe this just stems from the time in which this film was made, was the audio. Despite having the choices of THX and 5.1 Dolby Surround or 5.1 DTS, the audio playback just isn’t what it must be.

Copious amounts of credit and accolades go to the unbelievable cast for this great cinematic treasure! Although I wouldn’t go so far as to say that “Alien” is “the” movie that made Sigourney Weaver a star, I would say that it was the one that made her a superstar! And since the release of this film and the following three in the Alien legacy, she will eternally be known for these roles and in all probability very few others, except perchance her role in “Ghostbusters.”

Director Ridley Scott, who has directed a lot of of the most influential films in just over the past quarter century, deserves high praise and acclaim for “Alien” and the direction he took this film in. There are assorted managing directors out there that may have made as a heap of or more films than he has but few have enjoyed the success he has had and a lot of that success may be directly attributed to the work he did on this film!

The Premise:

Although never without doubt or question specified as to when, it is the future and America has expanded Earth’s atmosphere and is sending mining ships out there… The Nostromo, a civilian mining vessel is making the return trip home from an expedition and the crew is in cryo-freeze for the trip home but “Mother” the ships computer wakes them up to investigate what appears to be an alien SOS message.

As the crew goes through the necessary steps to investigate the signal on a little planetoid, the tension builds right to the moment that Kane (John Hurt) is deep within the bowels of the alien ship and is leaning over what appears to be an egg…

What follows from there is most surely one of the most intense Sci-Fi thrillers ever to have been brought to the silver screen. I highly commend this special film to any and all who’re fans of movies in this genre. {ssintrepid}

Iconographic Horror
By Gary F. Taylor
ALIEN received mixed reviews when it debuted in 1979–largely from science fiction critics, who accused it of being little more than a sort of “Friday the 13th in Outer Space,” a blood-and-gore horror flick given a futuristic twist thru a heap of problematic special effects. But while these accusations have more than a little truth, it has been an fabulously influential film–and even today, in the wake of CGI effects, it still holds up extremely, exceedingly well.

The story is well known: the crew of an interstellar craft responds to what seems a distress signal, only to encounter a outstandingly lethal alien life form that boards their ship and sets regarding picking them off one by one. Some of the special effects are weak (the alien spacecraft and the android “revival” are somewhat notorious). There is little in the way of reputation development, the film has a somewhat slow pace, and the story itself is predictable; you may commonly guess who is going to die next.

BUT. The art designs are incredible: the entire look of the film, from the mercantile nature of the spacecraft to the iconographic alien itself (brilliantly anticipated by Giger) is right on the money. Director Ridley Scott encouraged his cast to ad lib from the script, and the result is a shocking sense of realism–and the somewhat slow pace of the film and the predictablity of the story gives it a sense of relentless and ever-mounting paranoia that is principally intensified by the tight sets and camera set-ups. With it is odd mixture of womb-like organics and cold mechanics, ALIEN is a film calculated to send even the most more or less claustrophobic viewer into a fit of hysteria.

The entire cast, led by Tom Skerrit and Sigorney Weaver, is very, very good–and the film abounds with unforgettable images and scenes ranging from John Hurt’s encounter with the alien egg to Skerrit’s search of the ship air ducts to Weaver’s terrifying race versus time as the ship counts down to self-destruct. Seldom has any film been so consistent in design, cast, direction, and out-and-out fear factor, and altho sure distinct elements of ALIEN are open to lawful criticism the end result is powerful sufficient to fetch it in at a full five stars. A word of warning, however: you’ll need to send the kids to bed for this one. And you’ll probably be up half the night later on yourself! Recommended.
