Convict 13
This hilarious gem of physical comedy is quite possibly the darkest and most violent of any Buster Keaton film out there.
When a hapless golfer unwittingly knocks himself unconscious, an escaped prisoner from a nearby jail switches clothes with him to necessitate his escape, and upon waking the golfer finds himself being pursued by the prison guards. After escaping pursuit the hapless man mistakenly wanders into the prison yard and finds that his case of mista...

Alien Vs. Predator
Director Paul W.S. Anderson's 6th feature film is the long awaited franchise crossover of the Alien and Predator franchises that ultimately attempts to take the better parts of each and mash them together into an action packed film that ends up forgetting more about the characters that spawned it than it does in shedding new insights.
When the wealthy industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland organises an expedition deep into the Antarctic tundra in search of a lost city...

Alien Vs. Predator Requiem
Director's Colin and Gred Strause debut feature film is a slight improvement over the preceding foray into the multi-franchise cash grab that is filled with great special effects, very little plot, and some well paced action sequences.
