This was a good sci fi action thriller. I thought it was pretty good for what it is. My wife guessed who the bad guy was early on which is always the older well known actor taking any part in lower quality films. I also liked mma fighter Cung Le fighting in this movie.
The movie had a good storyline, good pacing, and decent acting. I think the trailer is a good representation of what to expect to see. Watch it and enjoy. Cheers!

Surrogates
I think you have to either be a comic book fan or a science fiction fan to really enjoy this movie. I am both a comic book and science fiction fan so this was going to entertain me even if it was half way decent.
There were elements of other sci fi movies that were blended in this film. It took away from its originality, but what do expect when it is based on a comic book.
I also do like most of Bruce Willis' action movies to boot. The movie was not great but it was not bad either. Get some popcorn and enjoy this sci fi action flick. Hope you like it.
Cheers!

District 9
I have been waiting to watch this movie for awhile. The previews looked good and all the reviews were coming in positive. Peter Jackson was the producer.

I didn't recognize any of the actors, but the acting was overall good. The CG was well done and all the special effects were too.
The ending was a nice Hollywood ending where the human redeems himself in the end. Personally, I think the preview sells the movie easily. If you like science fiction movies, this one won't disappoint.

4 movies yesterday
Obviously, I haven't been posting everyday like I would have liked, but trust me I am watching movies everyday. Yesterday, I watched some horror and science fiction movies.
The first movie was called War Games 2 with no major actors that I recognized. It was very predictable, but still a good fun film. I watched the first one from the late 80s with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. It's funny how far computers have advanced since then. Basically, most desktop computers are more powerful than the supercomputers from back then.
The second movie I watched was called Karla with Laura Preppon. It was suppose to be about a serial killer couple but it was so slow and boring, that my wife and I decided to stop watching after 30 minutes. Too much talking and some bad camera work at times.
The third movie I watched was Species 3 which was just OK. When you watch these types of movies you can't set your standards too high, otherwise you would never ever watch them. I like science fiction/action/thriller type of movies so this held my attention. It wasn't a great movie but worth watching once.
The last movie I watched was Resident Evil Extinction. This was actually a great zombie sci fi action movie. Never boring and fast paced. I seen the previous 2 movies, though I admit I don't really remember the details. Bottom line this is a good entertaining movie and I would recommend watching it with a bucket of popcorn.
