Prometheus

Prometheus - in which two scientists funded by half of Wayland-Meyers are escorted by Idris Elba, Charlize Theron and some generic space jerks to a distant planet to search for the founders of the human race. Like, these scientists found some super old cave paintings in France, giving the star coordinates for this planet, and Weyland is funding the mission for some mysterious and vaguely evil reason, as indicated by Charlize Theron's attitude. As an Alien prequel, the structures on the planet are filled with pseudo-fossilized eggs, that open and are filled with ALIENS, surprising the scientists and the space sailors, amazingly. There was a panic and a frantic escape at the end of their civilization, and we can see it through some amazing memory/security holograms. The Michael Fassbender android infects the husband scientist with an alien worm for experimentation, and it later becomes clear he is working at the direct behest of Mr. Weyland himself, who was supposed to be dead, but he faked his death because he is a terrible father. Okay, the mythology is confusing, but I think they find evidence that one of the Giganto aliens did influence earth, and the rest of his race got angry, like Prometheus with the fire. But the Xenomorphs showed up and fucked up the planet, and are now eating/impregnating the Space Crew. There is some cool body horror, as the lady scientist has to do self-surgery to remove the Xenomorph inside her. Okay, obviously everyone dies, because it is a prequel. Correction: Shaw survives and escapes with alien material and travels to the homeworld of the Gigantos.

The Crush

The Crush - in which Cary Elwes makes out with a teenage girl in 1993, and it wasn't me. Alicia Silverstone is amazing and charming. She plays Adrian, a teenage girl with very rich parents, one friend, and a tenuous grasp on reality. The protagonist is supposed to be this author, played by Cary Elwes, but dude's a creep, so he's the villain to me. Reframed: this guy moves into Adrien's parents'  carriage house, in the back yard, and I guess she's not used to it being rented out, because she keeps going in there. Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
