Red Planet

Humourless, predictable and wholly unentertaining. If it’s a trip to Mars you’re after, rent ‘Total Recall’ instead. At least that’s got Arnie in it.

Alien

Still one of the best movies to come out of either the horror or sci-fi genre – this one gets the blood pumping.

Predator 2

Like the Predator itself, this is an ugly and unwelcome movie. A sequel to the original could have been a good idea, but unfortunately it’s a bit of a failure.

The Omega Man

Perhaps a serious production at the time, but nowadays only worth watching if you’re in need of a good laugh. This one’s hilariously bad.

Warnings

Cheap and cheerful, but has been done better. If given the choice, see 'Signs' instead.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

At last, a proper action movie that isn’t bogged down by CGI effects. Though not as good as the first two, this is a chapter worthy of carrying the Terminator name. Don’t miss this one.

No Way Out

Effective thriller with plenty of twists and turns where little is as it first appears.

Agent Cody Banks

A disappointing mishmash of flat jokes, tired ideas and out-of-place violence.

Blood Work

Rather predictable serial-killer thriller with a substandard ending. One for Clint’s fans.

The Bodyguard

Superficial but pleasant romantic thriller that lacks substance but has a certain charm. It shouldn’t work but somehow gets away with it.
