Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), Poster, Synopsis, Plot and Movie Trailer
February 2, 2009 / 29967
An alien spaceship crash lands in a small Colorado town, triggering an alien invasion, and the only thing that can stop it is an alien from yet another world.
Fanboys the world over let out a collective drool in 2004 when the thought of the Alien and Predator franchises colliding on the big screen finally became a reality. However, the final result could never live up to the expectations, and while the film was a success at the box office, reactions were decidedly mixed. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem purportedly aims to correct the first movie’s errs in judgment, but other than changing the rating from PG-13 to R, little about this sequel improves on the previous film. In fact, it vies with Alien: Resurrection for the worst entry in either series.
The Plot
Picking up where 2004’s Alien vs. Predator left off, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem opens with a Predator ship leaving Antarctica with the body of the first film’s Predator “hero” on board. Once in space, though, an Alien-Predator hybrid bursts through the hero’s chest and wreaks havoc on the ship, causing it to crash in rural Colorado. The last surviving Predator manages to send a distress signal to his stony home planet before he’s killed by the “Predalien.” A lone Predator picks up the signal and sets off to eradicate the Alien threat and save Earth (Earth apparently not being worth an entire rescue party).

Andy Serkis on Fantasy-Adventure Inkheart; Poster, Production, Plot and Trailer
January 22, 2009 / 7575
Inkheart is a 2008 fantasy film, directed by Iain Softley. It is based on the 2003 German novel of the same name by Cornelia Funke. The film was first slated for release on March 19, 2008, but has been pushed back to December 12, 2008 in the UK and January 23, 2009 in the US, partially because of New Line’s marketing worries in connection with the now-concluded 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.
Production
The author of the book on which the film was based, Cornelia Funke was quoted as saying that “we had our second screening (summer 2007), which went well, and I really loved the movie, but they are still changing things, especially at the end.”
As with the production of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,[citation needed] the production progressed very slowly. The American release was originally slated for Christmas 2007, but then was changed to March 19, 2008.
In addition, due to the writer’s strike, the film was further pushed back and is now set to open January 23, 2009.
Inkheart was filmed at Shepperton Studios near London, England and on location in 2006/2007. Read more …

They are joined by a pair of convicted homicidal rapists, and soon the order of society is torn apart. Outbursts of excessive violence and utter bloody chaos take over. Read more …
10 Great Serious Sci-Fi Movies From The 1950s
December 28, 2008 / 9362
1950s sci-fi is noted for its remarkable lack of, shall we say, sophistication. For the most part, the genre was derided as mere B-grade theater-filler schlock. But during that decade, there were serious efforts. The science in most of the films on this list is probably not plausible (or is no longer considered plausible), but these films attempted to present serious dramas, or at least thoughtful stories, amid a genre flooded with the absurd. The three alien invasion films on the list represent the best ever made, because they treat their subject matter intelligently instead of relying on cheap thrills. (Note: Don’t see The Time Machine on this list? That’s because it came out in 1960.)
10. Riders to the Stars 1954
Set apart from the plethora of alien invasion/monster attack films, this little-known film centers on the first manned spaceships. Three attempts are made to “capture” meteorites for study, with tragic results. Made before the first man (the Soviet Union’s Yuri Gagarin) went into space. Read more …
And Here We Have Top 10 Money Making Movies of 2008!
December 27, 2008 / 3969
Take a look back at the films of 2008 and which were money makers, its an impressive list of films! From Nielson we have the final numbers on the Top 10 Grossing films of 2008. For a change I can say that most of the films that made this list are very much deserving with few exceptions.
It is of course important to keep in mind that by the end of the year these numbers will very likely change drastically. The data does not include any holiday Box Office numbers and the Holidays are a HUGE draw for movie goers. As it stands right now though here are the Top 10 Money Makers of 2008
1 The Dark Knight Warner Bros. $530,540,881
2 Iron Man Paramount $318,313,199
3 Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Paramount $317,023,851
4 Hancock Sony $227,946,274
5 Wall-E Disney $223,704,223
6 Kung Fu Panda Paramount $215,434,591
7 Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa Paramount $165,653,852
8 Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who Fox $154,529,439
9 Sex and the City Warner Bros. $152,647,258
10 Quantum of Solace Sony $151,620,134
Dark Knight, Iron Man and Hancock were all fun comic book flicks that I enjoyed immensely. Hancock was a bit over rated but still a fun action comedy with a hero twist. Wall-E goes without saying is one of the best films I have seen in a VERY long time. It is a must buy! Read more …
