        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alien³&lt;/strong&gt; (1992)&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Movie Review&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;★★½&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Science Fiction, Action, Horror&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Directed by David Fincher&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watched March 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meh. This was by far the worst special effects of the series. —Mike&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:michael@michaelharley.net?subject=Re:%20Alien%C2%B3&quot;&gt;Reply via email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aliens&lt;/strong&gt; (1986)&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Movie Review&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;★★★½&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action, Thriller, Science Fiction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Directed by James Cameron&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watched March 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not bad. Movie still holds up pretty OK. CGI is dated of course but just squit your eyes a bit and those are OK. Some of the acting is very 80&amp;#39;s (glances at Bill Paxton) but Sigourney Weaver is great! —Mike&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:michael@michaelharley.net?subject=Re:%20Aliens&quot;&gt;Reply via email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Matrix Revolutions&lt;/strong&gt; (2003)&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Movie Review&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;★★★★&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adventure, Action, Thriller, Science Fiction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Directed by Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watched March 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Part 3 was better than part 2 but still a far cry from the original. Both 2 and 3 suffered from too long fight scenes. The last fight scene with Smith was just way too long and I skipped ahead to the final bit of that scene. I still cry when Trinity dies. —Mike&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:michael@michaelharley.net?subject=Re:%20The%20Matrix%20Revolutions&quot;&gt;Reply via email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Matrix&lt;/strong&gt; (1999)&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Movie Review&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;★★★★★&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action, Science Fiction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Directed by Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watched March 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧡 All-time favorite&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Matrix is my favorite movie all time. Just re-watched it and I have to say, it still holds up really well. Special effects, acting, all of it. The cheesiest part is where Neo calls the machines then flies away. The fly away part is bad CGI. What a great movie though. —Mike&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:michael@michaelharley.net?subject=Re:%20The%20Matrix&quot;&gt;Reply via email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
