My Thoughts:
This one I enjoyed quite a bit. My favorite movie so far this weekend. They went somewhere a bit new for Alien and Predator movies (that I have seen)... in that they involve a whole town instead of being in a secluded area. Which I found to be a nice change of pace for these movies. I really liked Reiko Aylesworth's character in this one. This is the first time I seen her in anything other then 24... which was cool. And a little weird at the same time. While watching... every time she was on the screen I almost felt like... where is Jack Bauer to help his friend! 

Anyway... as I said... it is a nice change of pace for the movies. There was some pretty cool effects... not to mention the cool toys the Predators had. This is one I would feel comfortable recommending if you enjoyed the other Alien and Predator movies. Hopefully you would find the change of pace as enjoyable as I did.

I finally got to see the end of this series. I must say... I enjoyed this set very much. My favorite episode has to be the two part series finale. Not only did I enjoy every second of the storyline... I like how they closed the series out. Letting Monk finally solve the case of his wife's murder. It makes me so glad that they knew ahead of time that this was going to be their last season.  Many shows don't get the opportunity to close a series the way they would want to because they don't know in time. I also like that they brought Sharona back for an episode before the series ended. Another favorite episode from this season is the one where Natalie throws Monk a surprise birthday party. If you never seen this series... I definitely recommend it. It is a lot of fun!
