I think digressing is not a bad idea if it is done well. In this case it was not.
@Cronios, Alien was very different from Star Trek and Star Wars. You have one series where mankind is now making first contact with an alien race and the other two where they have long ventured into space and are already living among aliens. Additionally, I don't see how super rapid evolving Alien goo is more realistic than the Trek world.

Les Miserables (1998) - I loved the book and had high expectations on this one, but I guess it's not possible to tell the story in 2:08 runtime. I thought the movie kinda missed the whole point of the book, first and foremost it's about criminals, lowlives, crooks etc (les miserables) and their different paths, while the movie almost didn't touch on the subject at all, concentrating exclusively on the Jean and Javert part of the story. Also revolution was shown very poorly. 5/10
Foo Fighters - Back and Forth - pretty mediocre, the whole time I felt the movie was made for MTV fans, some cool things (like Grohl recording everything by himself in the first album or Bob Mould appearing on Dear Rosemary), but mostly it was pretty boring. 6/10
Next on my list are The Dreamers (2003) and Traitor (2008). Can't wait for Les Miserables with Hugh Jackman in it, could be way better

Back and Forth It's more interesting if you're a fan of the Foo Fighters.

I'm a bit wary of the new adaptation of the musical, but only because I don't like the way they pick big names instead of people who can honestly, truly sing.
The Aliens primary form (facehuggers that are hatched by those Eggs) are insectoid/arrachnoid, which happens to be the most common creature crawling around and the most probable variant.
Even the final form of the Alien warriors and the middle one, are not quite the typical Bipod that conviently talks English, wares a uniform, has about the same stance and dimension of the standard humanoid form.
90% of the Alien races in star Trekk and star wars, are simply not "Älien" enough, they are too humanoid, it is because of the limited fantasy and general/typical concepts, of us depicting all alien forms.
As the Trek and star wars worls evolved in the future, they also added, different kind of creatures, but the bulk of the typical alien they used are humanoids.
Personally, i ve dismissed this shortmind approach since i was 7-8year old.
For the very same reasons i never liked kid animated series with talking animals with clothes.
I was fortunate enough to have a direct experience with nature, through hunting and after the direct contact with a number of different life forms, of different shapes and dimensions, that cannot communicate with each other, but they do interact in other ways, i came up with the conclusion that the star wars/trek concept is simplistic and faulty.

Well of course Ridley Scott may end up there too, as the engineers seem humanoid as well (the Promethean Gods who have created humanity to their image, but kind in a faulty way though. However it is somewhat excused because of that
Nice european flick, nothing special, but a good watch, don't watch if you're trying to get rid of smoking, this is one of the films that makes you want to do it. The soundtrack though is immense, amazing, beautiful, probably better than the movie itself. Easily one of the best movie soundtracks I ever heard, mostly 60ties music.
