Merry and I watched Alien VS. Predator I had already seen it as a crappy download. This was after goofing it up and downloading this fine film in Russian, then French by mistake. I found the film OK. I had trouble getting into the film as most people would but I had not read the Dark Horse comics and was not into it. Merry LOVED it. To my shock she thought it was awesome? Well I guess that's one thumbs up from her. I rent it again, NOT.For me it was just to unbelievable. With todays computer generated images I can be lulled into a false sense of realism as easily as anyone but the blatant disregard for reality for example hanging out in the antarctic in a shirt with no coat during a storm was just to much for me.

AVP: Alien Vs. Predator



Next movie is Dodgeball. Merry found this movie to be a hoot and you get a thumbs up on this one from her. The silliness and off the wall laughs are what made it for her as well as Patches O'Houlihans untimely demise which made me wake up when Merry was laughing. Could have been the entire pizza I ate or the same old Ben Stiller, Zoolander character but I found the film only mildly amusing. I must admit that if I had seen the parts I slept through it might have left a better impression on me.I would still recommend seeing it though.

Finally our last review is for Napoleon Dynamite. This movie was well rated by my pals and appeared to be very funny from the trailers. Merry and I both really liked it.We were told that it is so stupid it's funny. Even Belen said so, the only endorsement of a movie I ever heard from him. I believe the more you watch it the more you will get out of it. The whole concept was very well conceived. On the DVD you can see the short black and white home movie made that inspired this full length movie. A total lack of crude language and gratuitous crap resulted in a Funny movie that brings it all home to us geeks(of course I was one of them ) to any one even a little like this guy in grade school. This is a must rent movie. One thing the character that played the Uncle kept reminding me of someone I had seen before, it turned out to be Jon Gries who played Laslo in the movie Real Genius.
