Creature (1985)

Creature (1985)




Synopsis

Less than a year before James Cameron's turbo-charged sequel, Hollywood (or its overseas counterparts) still managed to find ways to retread the badly-worn theme of Ridley Scott's Alien, as evidenced in this 1985 low-budget item. When a mysterious canister is uncovered on Saturn's largest moon Titan, a dormant, eons-old monster is released, making lunch of both the explorers who discovered it and the rival corporation's exploration team which investigates their disappearance. The most enjoyable "creature" in this otherwise pedestrian film is the ever-leering Klaus Kinski, who plays the lecherous sole survivor of the previous expedition, but the only real source of entertainment -- the depiction of gooey, gory effects and gratuitous nudity -- is spoiled by inadequate lighting and static camera set-ups.

  • Billy Bob's the 'Sexiest [Freakin'] Creature!

    HOLLYWOOD, May 9, 2000 -- It's easy to see what Angelina Jolie sees in Billy Bob Thornton. Why, clearly he's "the sexiest [expletive deleted] ... creature that ever lived." So says Jolie in an upcoming interview in Talk magazine. The chat was conducted before Jolie, 24, and Thornton, 44, tied the knot Friday in Las Vegas.

    But even before she became Mrs. Billy Bob No. 5, Jolie was enamored of the actor/writer/director. Says Jolie: "I am madly in love with this man till the day I die."

    The couple met on 1999's "Pushing Tin," where they played husband and wife. But Jolie says the love affair was not played out among the onset trailers. (Thornton was linked with Laura Dern at the time.) "I just went on with my life," Jolie says of the movie, "but I never really forgot [Billy Bob]."

    The world's sexiest creatures, after all, are unforgettable that way.
