Click here for the review of Gorillas in the Mist (1988)

Part of the "1980s" series.

You know Sigourney was also nominated for an Oscar for "Working Girl" in 1988.

I think "Gorillas" was the first movie she did after "Aliens" and then she did "Working Girl". Quite a change going from working with slimy creatures to gorillas for this film.

I think Sigourney has only gotten better as an actress over the years. With age, experience, and working with different directors she has gotten this maturity that has really shined through in her performances as time goes on. At least that's what I think of her. It's great she's working with James Cameron again for "Avatar".

I think she did one film in between ALIENS and GORILLAS. It was called HALF MOON STREET (or something like that - too lazy to look up the title). It's notable for a nude scene. I remember at the time she made a comment that she decided to do the nude scene after ALIENS because she was in the best shape of her life as a result of doing the Cameron film and didn't think there would ever be a better opportunity to show off her body. The movie was forgettable but the scene was not.

You're correct on the movie being called "Half Moon Street".

Maybe more actresses need to work with James Cameron. I mean we've seen the bodies of Linda Hamilton and Kate Winslet on full display lest we forget.

I'm so glad the Reelviews forum doesn't have any female users outside of about three. You pigs!


According to 'Galaxy Quest', Miss Weaver was WRONG about the staying in shape part. My lord, that hair...
