Am I the only person to notice that Len Wiseman has made several attempts in his last few movies to put the camera (and the audience) right into his wife's crotch? As a red-blooded human male I have no issues with this, but hasn't Kate (Mmmmmmmmmmm.....Kate) noticed she's had to spread her legs or poke her ass at the camera more often than usual the last few movies her husband directed?
God he's such a hack...if all she is to him is a fuck toy, then I can understand it. Otherwise it's pretty disrespectful to your wife...unless she's a swinger.
It's true. Even though he probably makes a few extra million every time her ass is shown. And if they're both faithful, what's the harm in making a little extra dough for the sake of her ass?

Can't really argue with that. It's obvious Mr.Wiseman isn't the jealous type.

He deserves to have his eyes and balls surgically swapped for subjecting audiences to watching this movie. Otherwise, the movie itself was not totally terrible if viewed though welding goggles.
You're talking about the new, soulless, garbage one I take it?
Alien Resurrection Special Edition = 6/10 - The extra/extended scenes didn't add any value to the original release at all. However, I was starkly reminded that even though this film isn't regarded as one of the high points in the francise, in every way except VFX quality this is much better sci-fi and a much better film than Prometheus.
Honestly...I had completey forgotten just how beautiful Alien Resurrection was. The production design was top notch but sometimes a little overboard. It wasn't as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as Prometheus, but it held its own considering it's 15 years old. The characters were all likeable and interesting and their goals and motivations were clear and easy to understand...something that is hugely important with a large cast and something completely lacking in Prometheus.
Seriously...if you're starved for good sci-fi you can do much, much worse.
Contractor finds himself buried alive after an unfortunate incident with some insurgents. With him are inexplicably several items that would facilitate a lengthy stay underground. Many plotholes later the movie ends.
Not very good. For every scene that was solid, a scene followed that was totally unbelievable or just plain bad. Annoying, that.
I actually quite like Alien: Ressurection, but it does feel quite comic-book, probably due to being written by Joss Whedon.
Odd to think it's directed by the same guy responsible for Amelie.
Sightseers, I loved it: good acting and incredibly well observed black comedy about a couple who go on a camping trip and end up on a killing spree, it's like a British Natural Born Killers. Nostalgia in that most of the places they visited were places I went to on school trips.
Prometheus - 5/10 - made no more sense the second time around. fantastic visuals let down by an utterly mediocre script sprinkled with the worst cod philosophy bollocks ever laid down on celluloid
The Hobbit - 8/10
Saw it at the IMAX theater in 3D. It was ok. 3D effects were very minor and not distracting. Lots of time watching short people walk around on hills. Doesn't really pick up until the last 30 minutes. Even so, it was enjoyable enough.
