MOVIE
If you've seen that pile of guano known as Jurassic Park: The Lost World, then you are strongly suggested to rent/buy/pilfer/hunt down this movie. That's right, It's Alive III keeps the tradition of original films being far superior to their re-makes (or in this case rip-offs) alive. Moving on, in this third installment in the "It's Alive" film franchise, we once again follow the wacky adventures of TV's ADA Ben Stone of NBC's award winning "Law & Order" as he leads a team of scientists and soccer players to an isolated island located near Cuba. This is the very island where a bunch of mutant hell baby Gigapets from the earlier films have been relocated to. Of course, if you missed the previous "It's Alive" films, It's Alive III offers up a nice helping of backstory. You learn about ADA Stone's brief writing career which consists of a sole tell-all book in which he refers to himself as "The Father of the Monster" and admits to having an affair with Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. Once on the island, the group gets attacked by the hell babies (one of which is Stone's son) who steal the team's boat and take Stone hostage. The babies set Stone adrift on a wooden door allowing him to be captured by the Cubans, who accuse of him of being a spy. The Cubans, who are notorious for hating NBC, decide to let Stone go, sneak him back into the US, and give him a gun and some cigars. Stone is reluctant to leave, but the Cubans slap him on the ass and tell him he is free to go and live among his own. Using his advanced lawyer skills, our brave ADA tracks down his former wife, and hell baby mother, to aid him in his crusade. She agrees and the two search for the escaped hell babies. When they find them, they discover the babies have measles and are dying. A touching moment is exchanged before Stone and his wife decide to adopt a hell baby baby.
