Alien remains a one-of-a-kind nightmare. There’s just no replicating the dread of Ridley Scott’s 1979 deep-space thriller. James Cameron knew that, and smartly did his own thing with Aliens, fashioning a sequel that traded the original’s ruthless minimalism for bug-hunt spectacle. Scott knew it, too, judging from the direction in which he took the franchise with a pair of prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, which were heavier on philosophy and mythology than terror. Some of the other entries in the series, including this week’s Alien: Romulus, have gestured toward the primal simplicity of the first, pitting a small group of desperate people against that slimy, sleek killing machine from beyond the stars. But all of them are echoes.

Ridley Scott initially planned multiple Alien prequels after Alien: Covenant , continuing the shift away from the Xenomorphs to AI and synthetics. A Covenant follow-up, rumored to be titled Alien: Awakening , would have explored the evolution and development of synthetics in the franchise. Scott's future plans for the Alien...

Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

If you've ever tried folding a fitted sheet before, you might have had a nightmare experience that went a little something like this: Violently folding and refolding the sheet, sighing in frustration, cursing and eventually balling it up and throwing it in a heap in some tragic corner of your closet. You don't have to resort to this outcome (though I have many times before knowing what I know now). Many people think folding a fitted sheet is an impossible task that takes a team (or at least several hands) to complete. But it's not that hard once you know how to do it the best way.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Ever since Amazon Prime Video added commercials to its standard tier, the number of movies on Freevee has dropped dramatically. Now, even the schlock films show up with Prime Video logos instead of Freevee’s icon. And it’s very difficult to find a good movie on Freevee, much less a great one.

The Alien franchise is an interesting one. The first two films were huge box office hits but the later sequels in the 90s were flops. In the 2000s, they tried to reboot the franchise by combining the Alien with another monster, The Predator. The two films didn’t exactly set the box office on fire. Then, Ridley Scott came back to the franchise in the 2010s with two prequels but again, those two films didn’t set the box office on fire or reignite the public interest in the franchise. Yet Fox never gave up and we now have another Alien film hitting the big screen.
