Species III (2004)
Jun 24, 2007Alien Sex Fiend
The third of the Species films, which follows Sil's daughter. Some okay makeup effects but the plotting gets fairly silly
Robert Knepper
Hitman (2007)
Dec 15, 2007Videogame Adaptation/Action
Disappointing film adaptation of the videogame from Xavier Gens that comes with unremarkable action scenes, a script filled with holes and Timothy Olyphant miscast as Agent 47
Turok: Son of Stone (2008)
Jan 20, 2025Animation/Comic-Book Adaptation/Indian Warrior in a Prehistoric Lost Valley
Animated adaption of the comic-book about a Native American warrior stranded in a prehistoric lost world
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Dec 14, 2008Alien Visitor
An interesting if uneven remake of the 1950s SF classic from Scott Derrickson that smartly updates the story from the Atomic Age to a post-9/11 era to now deliver an environmental warning
Earth’s Final Hours (2011)
Aug 19, 2012End of the World/Disaster Movie
A Syfy Channel disaster film that creates a fascinating if scientifically dubious end of the world premise about a white hole but spends the show on the routine stuff of car chases and gunfights
R.I.P.D. (2013)
Jul 20, 2013Afterlife Police Force
This feels like someone has simply copied the idea of a secretive law enforcement agency from and substituted the dead escaped from Hell for aliens. The two have remarkably similar story arcs, although this is far more goofily entertaining that the absurdly overblown slapstick that overtook the Men in Black sequels
The Hoarder (2015)
Jul 24, 2017Creature Unleashed in a Storage Facility
Solid effort about two girls who venture into a storage facility only to unleash a creature. Filled with reasonable and effective tensions, not to mention a surprise mid-film twist that makes it into something else
Hard Target 2 (2016)
Jan 1, 2017Human Hunting for Sport/Action
Hard Target was one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's better films, featuring an on-fire John Woo as director. While most have forgotten it, we get a sequel here that copycats Woo's moves to a point of tedium
Warhunt (2022)
Jul 16, 2023WWII Soldiers vs Supernatural
A supernatural variant on Overlord where G.I.’s during WWII enter the Black Forest and encounter something supernatural
