Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem review.

If you have seen the movie please give it any score from 1 to 10.


Directed by: Strause Brothers
Genre: Sci-Fi, Action
Release date: December 25, 2007
Running Time: 94 minutes
MMPA rating: R


The Good: Good soundtrack, The effects were good

The Bad: Dumb plot, Some of the worst acting I have ever seen in the movie, Everything was way to dark(lighting not themes), Everything,




Plot: Following the events of Alien vs. Predator, a Predator spaceship is leaving Earth carrying dead Aliens, living facehuggers, and the body of the Predator that defeated the Alien queen. A chestburster erupts from the dead Predator's body; it is a new creature that is a hybrid of Alien and Predator characteristics. It quickly matures into an adult and begins killing Predators throughout the ship. A Predator's weapons fire punctures the hull and the ship crashes in the forest outside of Gunnison, Colorado.

With the Predators dead, the hybrid and several facehuggers escape, implanting embryos into a nearby father and son and into several homeless people living in the sewers. A distress signal from the wrecked ship reaches the Predator home world and a lone Predator responds, traveling to Earth and using its advanced technology to observe the cause of the crash and to track the facehuggers. It begins to erase the evidence of the Aliens' presence by destroying the crashed ship and using a blue liquid to dissolve the bodies of the facehuggers and their victims.

Meanwhile, ex-convict Dallas Howard (Steven Pasquale) has just returned to Gunnison after serving time in prison. He is greeted by Sheriff Eddie Morales (John Ortiz) and reunites with his younger brother Ricky (Johnny Lewis). Ricky has a romantic interest in his more affluent classmate Jesse (Kristen Hager) and is being harassed by her boyfriend Dale (David Paetkau) and two of his friends. Kelly O'Brien (Reiko Aylesworth) has also just returned to Gunnison after service in the military, and reunites with her husband Tim (Sam Trammell) and daughter Molly (Ariel Gade).

The Predator fights a number of Aliens in the sewers, and as the battle reaches the surface several of them disperse into the town. The Predator pursues some to the power plant, where collateral damage from its weaponry causes a city-wide power outage. Ricky and Jesse meet at the high school swimming pool but are interrupted by Dale and his cohorts just as the power fails and an Alien enters the building, killing Dale's friends. Another Alien invades the O'Brien home, killing Tim while Kelly escapes with Molly. Watch the movie to watch happens next but we suggest you should not watch it.

Plot: 0.6/10- Really really bad.


Action: 4.5/10- It had some action but it was so dark you could barely see what was happening.


Acting: 0.9/10- Some of the worst acting I have ever seen.


Special effects: 7.0/10- The special effects were good but it was so dark that you couldn't see munch of it.


Soundtrack: 7.7/10- The soundtrack was the only good thing about the movie.

Overall: 0.8/10- Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is one of the worst movies I have ever finished watching.


Closing comments: It was really really bad.

Recommended for: We can't recommend to anyone except extreme Alien or Predator fans.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Review.

If you have seen the movie please give it any score from 1 to 10.

Aalya Rain at Fangirl & Farmgirl requested that we review more sci-fi movie so here is the review for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Genre: Sic-Fi,
Release date: November 16, 1977 (1977-11-16)
Running Time: 137 minutes
MMPA rating: PG


The Good: Good special effects for it's time, It was humorous at times, John Williams composed the soundtrack.


The Bad: The plot was very slow and dragging, Boring at times.




Plot: Warning this contains some spoilers. In the Sonoran Desert, French scientist Claude Lacombe (François Truffaut) and his American interpreter, mapmaker David Laughlin (Bob Balaban), along with other government scientific researchers, discover Flight 19, a squadron of World War II aircraft that went missing over thirty years earlier. The planes are intact and operational, but there is no sign of the pilots. They also find a lost ship in the Gobi Desert named SS Cotopaxi. Later, at the Air Traffic Control in Indianapolis, Indiana, an air traffic controller listens as two airline flights almost have a mid-air collision with an apparent unidentified flying object (UFO). In nighttime Muncie, Indiana, three year old Barry Guiler (Cary Guffey) is awakened when his toys start operating automatically. Fascinated, he gets out of bed and runs outside, forcing his mother Jillian (Melinda Dillon) to chase after him.
Meanwhile, during a nearby large-scale power outage, Indiana electrical lineman Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) experiences a close encounter of the second kind with a UFO on a dark country road and is soon caught up in a police chase of four UFOs. Roy becomes fascinated by UFOs, much to the dismay of his wife, Ronnie (Teri Garr). He also becomes increasingly obsessed with mental images of a mountain-like shape and begins to make models of it. Jillian also becomes obsessed with sketching a unique-looking mountain. Soon after, she is terrorized in her home by a UFO encounter in which Barry is abducted by unseen beings, despite her attempts at securing her house. Meanwhile, Roy's increasingly erratic behavior causes Ronnie to leave him, taking their three children with her. When a despairing Roy inadvertently sees a television news program about a train wreck near Devils Tower National Monument in Moorcroft, Wyoming, he realizes the mental image of a mountain plaguing him is real. Jillian sees the same broadcast, and she and Roy, as well as others with similar experiences, head toward Devils Tower. Watch the movie to see what happens next.


Plot: 7.5/10- Close Encounters of the Third Kind's plot is a good concept but it is very slow and dragging.


Action: N/A


Acting: 7.5/10- Close Encounters of the Third Kind had a soild cast but some of the background characters could have been better.


Special effects: 8.4/10- For this time the effects were great and they still hold up well today.


Soundtrack: 8.5/10- Not John Williams' best but still great.


Comedy: 7.8/10- It had some very comical moments in the movie.


Overall: 7.1/10- Overall Close Encounters of the Third Kind was good but not great movie that was plagued by a slow plot.


Closing comments: Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a interesting movie but slow.

Directed by: Kevin Reynolds
Genre: Adventure
Release date: January 25, 2002
Running Time: 131 minutes
MMPA rating: PG-13


The Good: A real hidden jem, Superb acting, A very entertaining story of adventure, escapism and revenge,

The Bad:




Plot: Edmond Dantès (James Caviezel) and his friend, Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce), officers of a French trading ship, head to Elba seeking medical attention for their captain. Dantès and Mondego are chased by English Dragoons who believe they are spies for the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte (Alex Norton). The Emperor arrives and declares they are not his agents, and asks Dantès to give a letter to a friend in France. When the captain dies that night, they are sent on their way. At Marseilles, Dantès is reprimanded by the ship's first mate, Danglars (Albie Woodington) for disobeying orders. However, the shipping company's boss, Morrell (Patrick Godfrey), commends Dantès' bravery, promoting him over Danglars. Mondego intercepts Dantès' fiancée Mercédès (Dagmara Dominczyk) and unsuccessfully tries to seduce her. When he hears of Dantès' promotion, Mondego realizes that Dantès will be able to marry Mercédès sooner than expected.
Mondego gets drunk and tells Danglars about the letter Napoleon gave Dantès. Danglars has Dantès charged with treason and sent to magistrate J.F. Villefort (James Frain). Villefort is sure of Dantès' innocence, but discovers the addressee is Villefort's father, Clarion, a Bonapartist, whom he had denounced to secure a promotion. Villefort burns the letter and fools Dantès into submitting to arrest, then attempts to send him to an island prison, Château d'If. Dantès escapes and goes to Mondego for help, but Mondego turns on him and wounds him so he cannot escape; when Dantès asks him why he has betrayed their friendship, Mondego says that he is angry that he wants to be Dantès, despite his wealth and superior social position. Dantès is re-arrested and successfully imprisoned in the Château d'If. Meanwhile, news spreads that Napoleon has escaped from Elba. Mondego, Mercédès, Morrell, and Dantès' father go to Villefort to plead that Dantès is innocent, but Villefort rejects their efforts. Mercédès thanks Mondego for his support; but after she leaves Mondego and Villefort discuss their reasons for wrongfully imprisoning Dantès. Mercédès is later told that Dantès has been executed. Watch the movie to see what happens next.


Plot: 8.1/10- The plot is excellently executed with no noticeable mistakes or flaws.


Action: 6.8/10- The Count of Monte Cristo is more of an adventure movie than an action movie but it did have some very good sword fights in the movie.

Acting: 8.5/10- Excellent acting by an relatively unknow cast.


Special effects: N/A


Soundtrack: 8.4/10- Superb soundtrack perfect for the period the movie was set in.


Comedy: 7.2/10- The Count of Monte Cristo is not a comedy but it did have a few hourous moments.


Overall: 8.1/10- The Count of Monte Cristo is very under rated movie that delivers a very unique and entertaining movie.


Closing comments: The Count of Monte Cristo is real hidden jem that you should check out

Person of Interest "Pilot" review.

If you have seen the movie please give it any score from 1 to 10.


Channel: CBS
Next Episode: September, 29
Genre: Action, Thriller, Crime

Click here to watch the episode of Person of Interest you will not regret it.

The Good: Excellent original concept, Superb acting, A lot more action than any other TV show on TV,

The Bad:





Plot: Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire, has developed a computer program that predicts the identity of people connected to violent crimes that will take place in the future. However, the program has its limitations; for example, it cannot predict whether the person will be a victim, perpetrator, or witness, nor can it predict when or where the crime will take place. Unable to stop the crimes on his own, Finch hires John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former CIA field officer who is presumed dead, to help stop the crimes from taking place.
The pilot episode establishes that Finch originally built the machine for the government as a means to prevent another 9/11-type disaster, but found that it was also predicting many "irrelevant" crimes. Finch built a backdoor into the machine that, before erasing the "irrelevant data" each night, sends Finch a single Social Security number of someone involved in one of those crimes. Finch also reveals that the world thinks that he, like Reese, is dead.


Plot: 9.0/10- It is original, perfectly executed and very entertaining.


Action: 9.2/10- More action than most show on TV and it  was well executed.


Acting: 9.1/10- Jim Caviezel is a very underated actor and is perfect for the role of former CIA field officer John Reese and the rest of the cast were also good.


Special effects: N/A


Soundtrack: 8.1/10- The soundtrack was a great fit for the show.


Comedy: N/A


Overall: 9.0/10- Overall Person of Interest is a top notch show is well worth your time.

The King's Speech Review.

If you have seen the movie please give it any score from 1 to 10.

Disclaimer: We do not like movies that have a lot of drama in them so we are a little bais when we review dramas.

Directed by:Tom Hooper
Genre: Drama, Historical
Release date: 6 September 2010 (2010-09-06)
Running Time: 119 minutes
MMPA rating: R


The Good:Some humorist parts.It is a fascinating movie based on historical events.

The Bad: The movie slows down in parts.





Plot: The film opens with Prince Albert, Duke of York (played by Colin Firth), the second son of King George V, stammering through his closing speech at the 1925 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium, with his wife, Elizabeth, Duchess of York (Helena Bonham Carter), by his side. The Duke despairs after several unsuccessful treatments, until his wife persuades him to see Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian speech therapist in London. During their first session, Logue requests that they address each other by their Christian names—a breach of royal etiquette—and proceeds to call the prince "Bertie". To persuade him to follow his treatment, Logue bets Prince Albert a shilling that he can read perfectly at that very moment, and gives him Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy to read aloud, which he does while listening to loud music on headphones. Logue records Bertie's reading on a gramophone record; convinced he has stammered throughout, Bertie leaves in a huff, declaring his condition "hopeless." Logue offers him the recording as a keepsake.

After King George V (Michael Gambon) makes his 1934 Christmas address, he explains to his son how important broadcasting is to the modern monarchy. He declares that "David" (Edward, Prince of Wales, played by Guy Pearce), Prince Albert's older brother, will bring ruin to the family and the country as king. King George demands that Albert train himself, starting with a reading of his father's speech. After an agonising attempt to do so, Prince Albert plays Logue's recording and hears himself making an unbroken recitation of Shakespeare. He returns to Logue, and they work together on muscle relaxation and breath control, while Logue gently probes the psychological roots of his stuttering. The Duke soon reveals some of the pressures of his childhood: his strict father, the repression of his natural left-handedness, a painful treatment for knock-knees, a nanny who favoured his elder brother, and the early death of his younger brother, Prince John. As the treatment progresses, the two men become friends and confidants. Watch the movie to see what happens next.


Plot:8.0/10- Very good plot.


Action:N/A


Acting:8.6/10: Geoffrey Rush (Lionel Logue) was vary involved in the his role and rest of the cast was excellent as well.

Closing comments:The King's Speech is a fascinating historical movie.

How We Score Movies.

There has been some confusion about the we score some of the movies we review so is the a explanation.

10/10- Masterpiece: Virtually flawless. Very few Movies are absolutely perfect, but 10s represent the pinnacle of film brilliance. It doesn't get any better than this.

Example: Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings.

9.0 to 9.9- Amazing: A fantastic achievement with only minor flaws or imperfections. If a movie scores a 9.0 or better you know it's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys good movies.

Example: Higher end: The Matrix, Inception, Captain America, Iron Man, Kelly's Heroes.
Lower end: Braveheart,

8.0 to 8.9- Great: An excellentm movie experience that misses the boat in just a few key areas. Films that score in this range still are highly recommended.

Example: Higher end: The Dark Knight  ,. Lower end: The Expendables

7.0 to 7.9- Good: An enjoyable movie that has some obvious flaws. Movie scoring in the high end of this range might have some first-rate elements, whereas the lower 7s have some serious shortcomings that keep them from ever achieving classic status.

Example: Higher end: 300. Lower End: Salt

6.0 to 6.9- Okay: Passable, but just barely. Movie in this range have more blemishes than strengths, but still might be worth a look if you're into the movie's genre.

Example: Rob Roy

5.0 to 5.9-Mediocre: Movie scoring between a 5.0 and 5.9 have numerous major shortcomings. Generally only fans of the particular genre will get any enjoyment out of this one.

Example: Gulliver's Travels (2010)

4.0 to 4.9- Bad: Not exactly good at all.

Example: Collateral Damage

3.0 to 3.9- Awful: Any movie show that scores in or below this range isn't worth your time.

Example: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

2.0 to 2.9- Painful: Movies of this caliber are way below bad.

Example: To Kill a Mockingbird

1.0 to 1.9- Unbearable: This is worse than bad. It's physically painful to watch.

Example: The Bobo

0.0 to 0.9- Disaster: The absolute worst of the worst. There are no redeeming qualities, just total non-entertainment.

If you have seen the episode please give it any score from 1 to 10.







The Good: Epic large scale battle, The action was a little more brutal than some other episodes which is a good, Artt Butler did a great job of sounding like Timothy M. Rose who played Admiral Ackbar in the original Star Wars movies.

The Bad: Prince Lee-Char's (Leader of the Calamari) voice has not very good, It did not have the darker tone that made the other episodes incredible.

Action: 8.7/10- The action was a little more brutal than some other episodes and had a large scale battle which was also good.

Acting: 7.8/10- The normal cast was consistent but we didn't like Prince Lee-Char's voice.


Art Style: 9.3/10- Not as detailed as the Padawan Lost/Wookiee Hunt but still great.

The Adjustment Bureau review.

We watched The Adjustment Bureau yesterday.

Aalya Rain at Fangirl & Farmgirl  requested that we review more sci-fi movie so here is the review for The Adjustment Bureau.


Directed by: George Nolfi
Genre: Sci-Fi, Suspense, Thriller
Release date: March 4, 2011
Running Time: 106 minutes
MMPA rating: PG-13


The Good: Great original concept, The first 30 minutes of the film was very humorous, Two really good and long chase scenes,

The Bad: The movie gets really slow in the middle but picks back up at the end, Did not end as good as it started,




Plot: In 2006, New York Congressman David Norris runs a promising but ultimately unsuccessful campaign for United States Senate. While rehearsing his concession speech in a hotel bathroom, Norris meets a woman hiding in a stall. The two share a surprisingly enjoyable conversation, ultimately leading to a kiss. Inspired, David goes off his prepared script and delivers a candid speech which is extremely well-received, making him an early favorite for the 2010 Senate race.
The next morning, Norris is preparing to start his first day at a new job. At a park near David's house, Harry Mitchell receives an assignment from his boss: Ensure Norris spills his coffee by 7:05 AM; shortly thereafter Mitchell falls asleep while waiting and misses David, who boards his bus. He encounters Elise, the woman from the bathroom, who gives him her phone number. When Norris arrives at work, he finds his boss (and campaign manager), Charlie Traynor, is being examined by unfamiliar men in suits. David attempts to run and the men give chase. Eventually, David is incapacitated and taken to a warehouse to meet Richardson and his men.
Richardson explains he and his men are from the Adjustment Bureau. The job of the Bureau's "caseworkers" is to ensure people's lives proceed as determined by "the plan", a complex document Richardson attributes to "the Chairman." Charlie is fine and will not remember his adjustment, and Norris is warned that, if he talks about the Bureau, he will be "reset"—effectively lobotomized.
Finally, Richardson tells David he is not meant to meet Elise again, burns her phone number, and tells David to forget her.
For the next three years, David takes the same bus every day, hoping to see Elise. He encounters her one day and they reconnect. The Bureau tries to stop him from building his relationship with her, causing their schedules to separate them. David races across town, fighting the Bureau's abilities to "control his choices" to ensure he will meet Elise again. During the chase, The Bureau uses doors to travel, opening inconspicuous doors that lead to another location blocks away. Watch the movie to what happens next.


Plot: 8.3/10- The Adjustment Bureau has the most original concept for a movie since Inception but if it was executed it better it could been a truly amazing movie.


Action: 7.1/10- The Adjustment Bureau is more of a thriller than an action movie but there were a lot of chase scenes.


Acting: 8.4/10- Matt Damon and Emily Blunt had really good performances in the movie.


Special effects: 7.6/10- There were not that many effect for a sci-fi movie those that were there were good.


Soundtrack: 7.0/10- The soundtrack fit the movie well but nothing memorable.


Comedy: 8.0/10- The Adjustment Bureau had good comedy in the beginning of the movie.
