About the Author
Brian works as the Senior Adult Services Librarian at the Iowa City Public Library.
Alien and its sequel, Aliens, are some of my favorite movies of all time. Other films in the series that came out after have been very hit or miss. This sequel was BIG in the hit category. Taking place between Alien and Aliens, we're introduced to new characters who are running into the Xenomorphs for the first time. The movie is thick with tension and dread. Multiple cool, memorable sequences and likeable characters make this a great addition to the franchise. I think it's my favorite film of 2024! -Brian
