Review
Ok, I'm going to get the positives out of the way. I liked the Aliens and the Predator, and the Predalien was cool looking. The Predator vs. the Predalien was cool.

What I didn't like:
Everything else.

My god, this movie is abysmal. Near the end it felt like a chore to sit through and I eventually stopped paying attention.

Also, you can't see a thing in this movie because of the god-awful (or in this case, non-existent) lighting.

Also, the characters are just not interesting at all, at first the teenage characters feel like their from the CW.

So this movie is set in some town in Colorado, and the Xenomorphs and the Predator in a suburban town could work, but it just doesn't because this writing sucks.

Also, there's a scene where a Xenomorph impregnates a woman via it's mouth and her mouth and you see her stomach bursting open with Xenomorph babies inside.

I almost turned this movie off but then I realized I had to review this, and when I decided to continue I stopped caring.

This movie fails on pretty much every single level.

I can't think of much else to say as this movie is uninteresting, awful, and I just don't care.

Overall, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is an abysmal film that fails at everything.

I'm going to give Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem a 1/10.

Also, my power is out as I'm writing this, I'm using my phone to finish this, and I don't know how long it'll be out, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to review Predators tomorrow or not.

Best F(r)iends is directed by Justin MacGregor and stars Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero, who also wrote the movie, Kristen Stephenson Pino, Paul Scheer, Vince Jolivette, and Rick Edwards. Plot Jon (Greg Sestero), a homeless man, is living on the street until he is taken in by a mysterious mortician named Harvey (Tommy Wiseau) an they become business partners. However, both men are forced to learn about friendship and loyalty, which is where the title comes in. Review If you read the reviews I did of The Room and The Disaster Artist , you'd know that I'm a fan of both of those movies so naturally I was excited for this. Whether you like it depends on who you are. If you're a fan of The Room , you will probably like this, if not, then it's probably not worth your time. I don't want to go into too many spoilers in case you haven't seen it. I actually do understand the title for this movie, because it starts off with Jon and Harvey becoming friends and lat...

Mission: Impossible 2 - Film Review

Mission: Impossithon Day 2 Mission: Impossible 2 is directed by John Woo, and stars Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, and Anthony Hopkins. Plot IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, again) is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera". Review I didn't like this movie much, it's pretty forgettable. The first hour is slow and the action doesn't pick up as much until the second act. And I just couldn't get invested in it. I don't even remember some of the characters names, so I'll just refer to them by the actors' names. Also, if your movie is already as slow as Mission: Impossible 2 is, don't overuse slow-mo as much as Mission: Impossible 2 does. Also, this film originally had a 3 1/2 hour long cut. I'll pass on that. I will say, the movie is shot very well and some of the action scenes do look really good, but it's not enough to save this movie for...

Wonder Woman - Film Review

Justicethon Day 7 Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and the second not directed by Zack Snyder. Plot Set in 1918, long before the other 3, Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana. After he tells Diana about World War I, she leaves her home in order to end the war. Review Let me just say: This is the best of the DCEU by far, it looks great, the story's great, the cast is great. This actually reminds me of two Marvel movies I've seen, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor . CA:TFA was about a superhero going into a world war (I know they're 2 different wars) and Thor was about someone from another realm based on mythology coming into our society (I know Themyscira is on Earth and Asgard is on a dif...
