Predators

Finally, Hollywood has made a movie about those who’ve been court-ordered to have their names added to the National Sex Offender Registry.

Oops. Apparently, Predators is actually the third installment in the much-loved space-monster franchise…and not a star vehicle for creepy uncles, high school gym teachers and Internet users.  

When a mercenary (Adrien Brody) wakes up in an unfamiliar jungle amid others of his ilk, including a dubious doctor (Topher Grace), he is apprehensive.

His uneasiness is later justified when it becomes apparent he and the others are being stalked by an alien race of trophy hunters.

The second sequel to the 1987 original, Predators revisits its roots: tropical terrain and a smorgasbord of bullets. Furthermore, it adds clever nuances and innovative creatures to the brand's canon.

And while–yes–hunting humans does sound like lots of fun, but trust me, you’ll regret it once you get the taxidermy bill.  0

I Come In Peace

The worst thing about being an intergalactic drug dealer is that on Jupiter your gold chains weigh a ton.

Which must be why the planetary pusher in this sci-fi film opted to come to Earth for his narcotic needs.

While investigating a drug cartel, an unruly officer (Dolph Lundgren) stumbles upon a number of suspicious drug-related deaths.

Upon closer examination, he learns the murderer is an alien (Matthias Hues) that extracts human endorphins to sell to extraterrestrial addicts.

Now, it’s up to the defiant detective and his by-the-book partner (Brian Benben) to stop the stupefacient supplier before others of his ilk come looking for profit.

Dripping with mind-numbing dialogue and pulsating with mind-blowing action, I Come In Peace is an awesome amalgam of space adventure and crime-drama.

And while it’s not surprising that drugs are so prevalent, who’d a thought you could get any higher than living in outer space?
