412, I liked Alien, Predator, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Star wars and the Indiana Jones (1 and 3 - 2 was just OK) Most of the sequels were at best only so-so (I got so bloody tired of Vader telling Luke 'it's your destiny' I thought I was going to be ill. I haven't bothered with the Predator sequels - just my opinion that sequels are rarely worth the price of admission I guess. I thought the premise for JP was great and I absolutely LOVED the 'Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear' shot when all you can see are T-Rex teeth; I appreciate a sense of humor. Also the hunters 'good girl' comment just before the raptors get him. He appreciates his adversary, even if they win.

I just watched terrible thing on sci-fi channel called (I think) "Mega-shark vs. Giant Octopus" What an incredible waste of 2 Hours of my life! I don't know what they got for making it but it should have been LIFE! If you get a chance to see this, Please DO NOT DO SO. I mean "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is bad but it is at least Cheesy and can be watched for its cheese. I mean this thing makes the bad Japanese monster flicks stand out for their plot and script. Once we have global warming release meglodon (that is what THEY called him) and a giant Octopus from the Arctic ice they run around the world eating ships and traveling at 500 mph. Octopus slaps an F15/18/16 (depends on which shot you see - pilot was so good he was flying an SR71 (they said) that kept morphing into these various aircraft) with a tentacle and knocks it down. Sinks about a dozen nuclear attack subs and sinks a couple of "lead destroyers" that are packing 3 gun turrets of about 16in size each. (The turrets do seem to put out about 20 rounds a minute per tube and hit 500 mph meglodon while he is submerged - good gun). Unfortunately this isn't the worse of it ... I won't go into the helmsman of the sub pulling a .45 ACP on his skipper and refusing to obey orders ... On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a minus 17. A definite miss - and these are the people who rearranged the airing order of the series. I understand so much better now.
