I decided to do a little catch-up linking to movie reviews, both in my series on robots. First, I gave in and threw in a "possessed machine" film with Willy's Wonderland, the unofficial Five Nights At Freddy's film with Nicholas Cage. It's not AI, but
they actually get 1980s robotics/ animatronics right.

And I'm throwing in a review I just posted of Alien: Resurrection, actually the first time I've covered the franchise. I didn't mention, the Alien movies seem to be the source of the idea of robots that "bleed" in some fashion, which is featured in Willy'
s Wonderland. I've wondered if there was an earlier precedent, especially in written sci fi, but I can't think of anything offhand.
