Vasquez submitted by willow on August 28, 2015, 5:13pm In order to transform herself into Vasquez, Jewish American actress Jennette Goldstein darkened her skin, wore dark contact lenses, and cut off her waist-length hair. She relied on her memory of Latino culture and speech patterns as experienced in her Beverly Hills childhood, but created one of the most memorable Latina characters in film.

Good Follow Up submitted by Maria Maguire on July 8, 2020, 1:26am Alien was so good that I wasn't sure how a sequel would compare, but I really enjoyed this movie. The continuation of the story line made sense, and I loved getting to see the effects of Alien on Ripley, who of course still saves the day.

A quotable classic submitted by gw on July 25, 2023, 1:56am I first watched this in college since my friend was a huge fan. I don't usually like scary movies but appreciated the humorous lines in this.
