assault by the same aliens that nearly killed her. Once she gets there, she finds a lost little girl who triggers
her maternal instincts--and she discovers that the company has once again double-crossed her, in hopes of
capturing one of the aliens to study as a military weapon. |

Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (2007)
Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth |
For those who found 2004's Aliens vs. Predator too lightweight in the gore-and-guns department,
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem offers a marked improvement in both categories, as well as a respectable amount of
rumbles between the title extraterrestrials. Set in the 21st century (which predates the story to all of the
Alien features), Requiem sends a crippled Predator ship crashing to Earth in a small Colorado town; unbeknownst
to the locals, the craft is loaded with H.R. Giger's insectoid monsters, which make quick work of most of the
population. As the human cast is slowly whittled to a few hardy (if unmemorable) souls, a Predator warrior also
arrives to complicate matters and do battle with the Aliens, as well as a ferocious alien-Predator hybrid
(dubbed a Predalien by the sci-fi and horror press). |

The Blob (1958)
Steve McQueen, Aneta Corsaut |
What would the average sensible American do if he encountered a pulsing ball of protoplasm from
outer space? That's right: he'd poke it with a stick. Thus begins the endearingly earnest and silly tale of The
Blob. Young Steve, a spunky teenager with plenty of heart sees the blob kill the local doc, but darn it, none of

Jane break their curfews and head off into the night to find the Blob and warn the town. |

The Blob (1988)
Shawnee Smith, Donovan Leitch |
More graphically-realistic than ever THE BLOB has returned in this horrific tale about a vile
malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a cozy rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by
conscience or intellect the Blob does only one thing-and does it well. It eats anything and everything that
moves...men women children. And tonight it wants to swallow Arborville whole. The original version of THE BLOB
thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 50's. Now the oozing gooey killer is back with a new high-tech 80's
look. What was once only suggested now comes to life in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of
such classic remakes as "The Thing" and "The Fly". |

intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the

Long ago, on the planet of Cybertron, a massive, powerful alien race divided into two
factions, the noble Autobots, and the devious Decepticons. They fought for the sole access to a talisman
known as the Allspark, a cube with the capacity to grant infinite power, and eventually the Autobots smuggled
it off the planet's surface, hiding it in an unknown location on Earth. Now, hundreds of years later, the
Deceptacons have come looking for it, and if the Autobots don't find it first, the Earth will be enslaved or
destroyed by the evil aliens' use of its massive power. The Autobots don't know where the cube was hidden,
but the information may be stored in the most unlikely of sources, as a gangly young Earthling named Sam

The War of the Worlds (1953)
Gene Barry, Ann Robinson |
A meteor-like object crash-lands near the small town of Linda Rosa. Among the crowd of curious
onlookers is Pacific Tech scientist Gene Barry, who strikes up a friendship with Ann Robinson, the niece of local
minister Lewis Martin. Because the meteor is too hot to approach at present, Barry decides to wait a few days to
investigate, leaving three townsmen to guard the strange, glowing object. Left alone, the three men decide to
approach the meteorite, and are evaporated for their trouble. It turns out that this is no meteorite, but an
invading spaceship from the planet Mars. The hideous-looking Martians utilize huge, mushroom-like flying ships,
equipped with heat rays, to pursue the helpless earthlings. When the military is called in, the Martians
demonstrated their ruthlessness by "zapping" Ann's minister uncle, who'd hoped to negotiate a peaceful resolution
to the standoff. As Barry and Ann seek shelter, the Martians go on a destructive rampage. Nothing-not even an
atom-bomb blast-can halt the Martian death machines. The film's climax occurs in a besieged Los Angeles, where
Barry fights through a crowd of refugees and looters so that he may be reunited with Ann in Earth's last moments
of existence. In the end, the Martians are defeated not by science or the military, but by bacteria germs-or, to
quote H.G. Wells, "the humblest things that God in his wisdom has put upon the earth." |

Race to Witch Mountain (2009)
Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig |
When two innocent-looking teens appear in Jack Bruno's cab and tell him that "we must
travel in that direction," Jack thinks it's a bit strange, but shrugs it off and starts driving. Soon they're
being followed and chased off the road, but is it Jack's past catching up with him or something much larger?
Sara and Seth reluctantly confess that they are aliens from another planet, but Jack refuses to accept their
statement until Sara starts moving things with her mind and Seth slips through the body of the car and
deflects the SUV that's pursuing them. Sara and Seth tell Jack that they must recover their crashed spaceship
in order to save earth from being taken over by aliens, so Jack takes them to see Dr. Alex Friedman; a
scientist who he met by chance and who believes in the possible existence of extra-terrestrials. While the
four are initially wary of one another, Dr. Friedman provides some valuable contacts and they begin trusting
one another out of sheer necessity. Soon they're battling secret government agencies, heavily armed personnel,
and even a cybernetic Siphon in a desperate attempt to gain access to the heavily fortified Witch Mountain
and the crashed spacecraft. |
