I agree. It won't win any awards, but it was definitely a fun movie to just sit and watch.Alien Vs. Predator: Unrated Cut
Added some more gore. I seriously do not understand what fans of the Alien & Predator series didn't like about this movie. I think it's fun and action filled.
:X I thought AVP and Catwoman were the worst movies to come out last year. Painful.I agree. It won't win any awards, but it was definitely a fun movie to just sit and watch.Alien Vs. Predator: Unrated Cut

What didn't you like about AVP?
I think that since the film is an omage / satire of film noir, the contrived nature was intended. I think this is a very funny movie. I saw two minnutes out of context on Ebert & Roeper and it looked terrible. But it has a silliness that grew on me.
Right. I'm a big fan of Downey, Jr. He's funny.
Because it was not all that it could have been. It was a decent movie, but when you have two of the biggest Sci-Fi icons of the past 25 years it has to be great.Alien Vs. Predator: Unrated Cut

I disagree that is "has to be great". It can be evaluated independently.Disagree that it was not all that it could have been, a decent movie, Aliens and Predator are two of the biggest sci-fi icons of the past 25 years or that the movie has to be great?Strenuously disagree.Because it was not all that it could have been.

To each her own.I find Downey quite annoying
You do know it is a remake. Right?The Hills Have Eyes - Not sure if this movie has been mentioned yet. I'm not a big horror, blood and guts movie kinda guy, but the storyline is intriguing...I'm contemplating adding it to my Netflix list.
Between 1945 and 1992, the U.S. government conducted over 311 nuclear tests in the deserts of New Mexico. Some of the residents refused to leave, exposing themselves to dangerous levels of radioactivity. On July 17th, 2005 two unsuspecting families, on a cross-country trip to California, met those residents.
It sounds like the controversial "Home" episode from The X-Files, which I liked

Certainly. Kilmer was funny, as well. And that hottie had a good body.
They overdid the human angle. Humans should have only been there to bridge the action between awesome fight scenes or tense "seek and destroy" scenes. The lead actress in particular just wasn't believeable. I'm sorry, but I've been spoiled by Ripley as a heroine.There weren't any "stand up and cheer" moments...or ones where you caught yourself nodding, smiling and thinking "oh F yeah".
Tell us how you really feel. I mean it, don't be afraid to hold back.
I hate Paul Walker in almost anything he does, but this is still a worthwhile movie rental.Running Scared-
- I liked it, I would say it's worth a rental. A few slow parts, and I really wasn't too impressed with Paul Walker. Pretty unique, action packed movie. There is even a scene where some Russian hockey players are taking slap shots at Paul Walkers face
chopper true story...bana does show a lot of range...
"I hid a small gun next to my balls."
There was a line that was probably considered a throw-away that had me rolling. When Kilmer (Perry) was dropping Downey, Jr. (Harry) off at his hotel after the stakeout, they had this great exchange where Harry says (something like), "Sorry I threw away your gun," and Perry just says, "Die." I don't know why, but it killed me.
Green Street Hooligans- FBG's rent this now!
It is about the soccer hooligans in England, and how each team has a firm (like a gang) that fights the other teams firms. Interesting look inside profesional soccer, and it's die hard fans. A bunch of cool fights, but the lingo was hard to pick up on sometimes. I don't think Elija Wood was the best guy for the role either, I just can't seriously picture him being tuff.
Rented this after reading this post. EXTREMELY good movie. I actually thought Wood was great for this role...kinda reminded me of Rudy (another flick I really enjoyed). I'm not sure what other runty little guy would have made the same impression as Wood made, but I can see how people could pigeon hole him into the LOTR character. IMHO he worked well here though.
Thats funny that you mentioned Rudy. Sean Astin was actually the guy I told my gf they should have got to play the role. Maybe it's becaus he has a little more weight on him, so I would picture him as a better scrapper.Green Street Hooligans- FBG's rent this now!

But I really really liked this. Good action. Great development of relationships between various characters. Solid acting all around.
Probably in the top 3 movies I've seen this year easily. Exceptional recommendation Quez! Much thanks!
saw it a few years ago. rented that and "Romper Stomper" (Russell Crowe) in the same nite.

I also liked Native American Joe Pesci.I just watched this one again and will now put it in my "just watch the action sequences" list of films whenever they're on TV. I like a lot of the fights, both franchises and am wondering when they are going to pump out AVP II? I mean, it's totally set up for it at the end. What are they waiting for?Agreed. I saw it on the movie channel and I enjoyed it. I think both the Alien franchise and the Predator franchise were portrayed honestly and well.Alien Vs. Predator: Unrated Cut

No diggity. They had great rapport, and that made for some funny deliveries.There was a line that was probably considered a throw-away that had me rolling.

A bit long for a kid's movie, but very good.Cars
Obviously not the greatest movie ever made, but if you have kids and/or are into cartoons and auto racing, you'll enjoy it.
Looks bad. The only reason I'd see that is to hear the Crystal Method soundtrack.LONDON-
It's silly, and kind of smug. But I thought it was very clever.
Went to imdb.com, and I didn't see anything about this being a remake, but your description sounds EXACTLY like a UK movie called The Football Factory. Like I said, not sure if it's a remake of that one, but I could go on for hours about how much I hate Hollywood remakes. Check that one out, and see if it's better. If it's the same story, I can tell you the UK original is better, without even seeing the one with Frodo in it.Green Street Hooligans- FBG's rent this now!

I just watched the trailer for The Football Factory. According to IMDB, it was made in 2004 and GSH was made in 2005...would shock me if GSH was actually a remake of this one, though I did see several similarities to it in the trailer. May have to check this one out too, though...it did look grittier than GSH, but then again what can you really tell from just the trailer?Went to imdb.com, and I didn't see anything about this being a remake, but your description sounds EXACTLY like a UK movie called The Football Factory.

overblown for sure. i laughed a couple times. but not really anything more than a chuckle. seriously let down by this movie.
It pains me to hear that you have no sense of humor.
Wow.I thought it was the best movie I saw in 2005.
