They mostly come out at night...mostly ( sorry couldn't resist! )

Apparently she was in Napoleon Dynamite, also...

What on earth is "liberal studies"? If I'd known she would have gone on to study something as pointless as that I'd have been rooting for her to become an alien after-eight.

I love James Cameron his work is the absolute best :)Aliens is the bests sequel ever and its good to say Carrie is doing great and she did herself proud in that movie is an understatement :)She will always be remembered as being newt<<<

Am I the only person on Earth who thinks she was TERRIBLE? She destroyed every scene she was in with her robotic scream and atrocious delivery!!

Some of the things shes says during the movie are a little cheesy, but I think to say she was "Terrible" is unfair....and the line "They mostly come out at night...mostly" was given brilliantly, and by some of the other comments here I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Carrie was only ten years old when this movie was shot. She played a character who had witnessed some pretty horrific, gut-retching events at a very tender age, not to mention she was the sole surviver before the arrival of Ripley's crew. Personally I think she delivered a superb performance. She wasn't a veteran actress herself, nor did she come from a family that was in show business; thereby exposing her to 'the' business. With that said, I especially commend her for a job well-done. When reading some of the posts on this website the level of judgement, criticism and ignorance of some writers continues to amaze me. I can't imagine how miserable a person must be to ridicule a child actress. Liberace: I fail to see the connection between the 'acting role' Carrie played 24 years ago, and the 'real life' decision that she made to further her education. To say that you wouldn't root for a person on-camera because of something that would occur decades later off-camera is just plain dumb. My guess is that you're not college educated. Individuals with degrees are aware of what a Liberal Studies degree is; thus making your comment shine a spotlight on your level of intelligence, or lack thereof.  Enough said... Redninja: You obviously didn't have a full grasp of the mental and emotional state that the character Newt was attempting to convey; thereby, prohibiting you from recognizing the brilliance in her performance. You're obviously not a scholar in Literature either, which may provide an explanation for your narrow-minded view. It's positively refreshing that you're not a well-known film critic who have the ability to influence box office success. If you were, movie goers would certainly be led astray with your shallow critiques.
