xXx (2002)
Interesting spy actioner that goes heavy on the action and light on the spy, but with Riddick – I mean Vin Diesel – at the forefront, what more would you expect... A furious and over the top guy film.
Babylon A.D. (2008)
Terrible futuristic/apocalyptic actioner that seeks to have Diesel playing his Riddick role. Falls flat in almost every aspect.
Fifth Element, The (1997)
A decent and visually very cool 1990s sci fi from Besson, who takes a much more Hollywood approach to his futuristic world this time around (compare Le Dernier), starring Willis and the always half–naked lady Jovovich.- DVD $14.95 | Blu-Ray $19.95
Alien Anthology Box Set (Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection) (1979-1999)
A great way to get hold of all 4 classic alien films, this box set contains not only the films but a whole bunch of extra stuff that is worth watching.
Alien vs. Predator (AVP) (2004)- An unnecessary crossover that doesn't work nearly as well as the Alien vs Predator game did. Paul Anderson really has a thing for video games.
Alien Resurrection (1997)- The series starts to slip, but Weaver is still here, and so are Ryder and Perlman, meaning a decent cast, even if the film is a little overdone (Ripley as a hybrid clone?)!
Alien Autopsy Video (1996)- Pretty ridiculous TV–feel documentary that looks at 'that classic' alien autopsy that had people in a frenzy in the 1990s. Dated now, but still worth watching for the unintentional comedy factor.
Alien 3 (1992)- Back to the original formula, Fincher proves that he can make another sequel that works. Intense and atmospheric, this is another Alien film for the collection.
Aliens (1986)
- Cameron effectively changes up the formula from the first aliens by focusing on action rather than suspense. Very effective as a sci fi actioner, but not as great as the first film.
Alien (1979)- One of the best examples of how to do effective suspense, Alien is a masterpiece of the sci fi and suspense/horror genres, and possibly the best alien film ever made.
