Aug 2, 2000Action/Humans Hunted by Alien Sportsman
This takes the previous year's big hit of Aliens and fuses it with The Most Dangerous Game, swapping that story's bored aristocratic hunter for an alien hunting Arnold Schwarzenegger and a team of soldiers in the jungles of South America

Nov 17, 2014Action/Humans Hunted by Alien Sportsman
Predator was one of the better Alien/Aliens copies of the 1980s. This sequel does little more than serve the same up all over again bar the substitution of a near-future L.A. for the jungle but manages to generate a reasonably intensive ride out of the action

Oct 4, 2004Lazy Talking Cat/Comic-Strip Adaptation
Big screen version of the massively popular Garfield comic-strips in live-action with a CGI talking Garfield. Here Garfield has been tacked onto a plot that feels assembled from every other talking animals film

Oct 4, 2004Alien/Predator Series' Crossover
Beginning as fan mill speculation, 20th Century Fox finally brought their Alien and Predator franchises together on the screen here. The result is an okay effort in the hands of Paul W.S. Anderson, even if it never has the grueling intensity of the early entries in either series

Jan 19, 2008Alien/Predator Series' Crossover
Second of the Alien/Predator crossovers and the absolute nadir of either series. Gone is the suspense of either series' earlier entries and the creatures are now no more than standard monsters in a teen horror film

Devil’s Due (2014)
Rating: ★★
Jan 24, 2014Found Footage/Satanic Impregnation
A Found Footage film that seeks to overhaul the Satanic impregnation film a la Rosemary's Baby. Both the Found Footage and the Satanic impregnation genres feel well-mined by now and this fails to offer anything new

Dec 5, 2015Frankenstein Adaptation
An madcap new version of the Mary Shelley story where everything is turned up to an overwrought 11 on the dial. How more nutzoid can you get than a version where Igor the hunchback (a completely miscast Daniel Radcliffe) is the main character?

Jan 26, 2019Alien Huntsman Comes to Earth
Shane Black, a writer-director with a reasonable cult following, makes the sixth Predator film (he also appeared as an actor in the original). Black shakes the series up, introduces a number of new ideas and makes an okay entry

Jan 17, 2026Alien Huntsman on a Death Planet
The ninth Predator film. This changes the mix quite considerably from the usual alien huntsman vs human prey formula we have had so far. It also offers a return to the Alien universe, although not quite what we expect
