Aliens (1986)

Haven't seen this in a while and thought it'd be another nice test of my new blu-ray player. The transfer looked fantastic. I think this was also my first time watching the director's cut and it was good but then I don't remember what was cut in the theatrical. Man do I miss practical effects. All of the effects in this film are executed spectacularly. Though I do wish they would have slowed the footage of their vehicles to give them a sense of weight. Other than that it was all gold.

The Terminator (1984)

Another I haven't seen in a while. It was surprisingly long. I knew Michael Biehn was in both but forgot about Bill Paxton and was surprised by Lance Henriksen.
