Biehn is awesome. He plays a great everyman hero in the same vein as guys like Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, and Dennis Quaid. He's also fantastic when he plays a villain in stuff like "Tombstone" and "The Abyss." Back in the 80s, it seemed like he was destined for superstardom but it never really panned out for him. Which is a shame, because he's still great as his performance in "Planet Terror" demonstrates.
"Aliens" is in my top five all-time favorite movies so I have nothing bad to say about it, but it always strikes me as odd when people say what bad-assess the Colonial Marines are. They're really kind of not. In fact, they pretty much get their asses handed to them the one and only time they face the aliens. We really have no way of knowing how tough they really are. One of the points of the movie is that the Company wants the alien for themselves, so they send in a platoon of marines they know full-well won't have chance of survival. The marines are meant to appear tough but are actually completely ill-prepared for what they are about to go up against. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the marines are portrayed as characters and the actors are all perfect. Even the guys who die early on are fleshed out well enough so that you feel something when they get killed. And "Near Dark" is a great underrated vampire movie. Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen and Jenette Goldstein pretty much wrapped "Aliens" and when right into production on "Near Dark." Biehn was offered a role but turned it down. Kathryn Bigelow is an overlooked director. I recommend "Point Break" and "Strange Days" too. |

Hm, I've never seen anybody with a Hicks avatar here. Why do folks dig him? Probably because he was the hero in two very cool flicks..plus he was Johnny Ringo!
