Plot:
Critics have called it "JAWS in the snow". Audience members fainted at its Sundance premiere. And it remains perhaps the most intense and terrifying film of the year: As Sunday evening falls, three friends decide to take one last run down the ski slope. Halfway up the mountain their chair lift stops, the lights go out, and the resort closes for the week. They are forgotten on the icy mountain lift and left stranded fifty feet in the air, but the worst is still to come. A storm is approaching, frostbite is setting in, and on the ground below them a pack of hungry wolves has gathered... to feed. Kevin Zegers (DAWN OF THE DEAD, TRANSAMERICA), Shawn Ashmore (X-MEN, THE RUINS) and Emma Bell ("The Walking Dead") star in the relentlessly chilling survival thriller from writer/director Adam Green (HATCHET) that Ain't It Cool News hails as "a vicious, scary and horrifying experience... FROZEN is Hitchcock With Teeth!"

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It is one of those horror movies that is scary because it could easily happen in real life. There is no supernatural creature coming after you in this one. It all occurs from human stupidity. Something that there is an abundance of in this world. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

A good start to the franchise. Sean Connery is a great Bond. The story moves along a little slow from today's point of view, but we see a lot of stuff which became signatures for the Bond movies. Ladies' man Bond, car chase, villain with a secret lair on an island. A villain whose look obviously was inspiration for other villains and parodies (Dr. Evil for example). A bond girl with a funny name (Honey). Bond imprisoned in an easily escapable room instead of being killed on the spot.
No real gadgets this time around, but Bond gets his signature gun.

Alien Nation: Dark Horizon
The fate of the entire planet is on the line when Ahpossno, a ruthless Overseer, is sent to Earth to return the Tenctonese to slavery, and the casualties hit close to home for Francisco when a Purist group develops a virus designed to kill all Newcomers. Picking up right where the series left off, 'Dark Horizon' provides the stunning answers to several key unanswered questions.

My Thoughts:
I really liked how they did this reunion movie... Mainly because it takes over right where the series left off. And that is something that this series needed as it left off with a huge cliffhanger when the series was canceled. I am so glad that all the Alien Nation movies came out on DVD as I have never seen the reunion movies before. So it was great for me to see how they tied everything up from the series. I only watched the one movie in this set so far... but  I must say it looks like they really did a good job with this release. Audio/video quality is good... a nice selection of extras... though I would have liked to seen a trailer/TV spot for this one before I watched it... unfortunately there was none on the DVD.
