So there's been quite a bit of buzz lately surrounding Ridley Scott's next project, Prometheus. It marks nearly 30 years since he's last forayed into the science fiction genre. It's widely considered that Alien and Blade Runner are his two masterpieces(Frenchie would strongly disagree with the latter). Some would argue that Thelma & Louise and Gladiator belong up on that pedestal as well, but that's besides the point. Being a huge fan of Alien, this is the first Scott project that I've genuinely been excited for in quite some time. To say that it's been a while since he's done something truly remarkable is an understatement. It's been nearly a decade if you consider Black Hawk Down amongst his best(which I do not). During that span Scott has directed decent yet underwhelming films in; Kingdom of Heaven(extended director's cut), American Gangster, Body of Lies and Robin Hood. Then there are those that belong in the "what the heck was he thinking" category; Matchstick Men and A Good Year. That's over ten years of seemingly uninspired work.
