I wasn’t expecting AVP: Alien Vs Predator to be anything but cheesy mindless entertainment. OK, I’m a sucker for cheesy mindless entertainment sometimes. For CME to work, the film has to take itself way too seriously. This one clears that hurdle with a few inches to spare. I’ve only seen Predator and the first two films in the Alien series. Predator introduced a great monster that had a purpose but was not entirely evil. His purpose was essentially big game hunting. The game then was human. Alien introduced us to a fantastic monster that was nothing but evil and Aliens, which is the second in that series, is one of my favorite movies. This film proposes that the Predators brought Aliens to Earth for the ultimate in hunting pleasure. I suppose it says something about me that I found this film to be a bit more fun than the average Woody Allen movie but I don't care. I enjoyed it.
Saints fans, just say NO.

Ok...now I have to see the movie!
I will have to see if my locan Blockbuster has it.
Huh, I think your blog ate my comment from this morning...just an FYI.
Anyway, many of the movies I really like can probably be classified as CME I think. Since Hollywood seems to have no shortage of resources in the CME department, that works out pretty well for me.
I liked AVP, too. If I remember right, it (fictionally) explained one of histories mysteries, too. I love when movies do that.
It's fun, Blue and Don Ray.
Thanks, Dave. I have no idea what's causing the occasional errors here.
I liked that, too, Kim.
AVP was a lot better than I expected. I've watched it a couple of times, which is sort of rare for me.
