Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

Pandorum (2009)

Director:
Christian Alvart

Writers:
Travis Milloy

Cast:
Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet, Antje Traue,
Cung Le

Surprisingly good SciFi/horror film! I had a same feeling as when seeing Alien at the first time - and that's saying alot. Story was straight out of a nightmare - full of claustrophobia and fear of unknown. There was even a surprise ending. This is better than Event Horizont and most of the other films in genre. Unknow director, Christian Alvart, has done an excellent and truly original film. I recommend!

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

Director:
Charles E. Sellier Jr.

Writers:
Paul Caimi (story)
Michael Hickey (writer)

Cast:
Robert Brian Wilson, Danny Wagner, Charles Dierkop, Lilyan Chauvin, Gilmer McCormick, Linnea Quigley, Leo Geter

This one is classic 80's horror with the scream queen Linnea Quigley. In this movie she doesn't dance nude on the tombstone, but gets impaled on antlers - what a career improvement! Most memorable scene (and actor) was when the family met granpa in mental asylum. Watch the film and you will know why...

Story is very basic and doesn't bring much to the genre. Development of the main character was portrayed very movingly and horrible end results were understandable in the light of the previous insidents.

Star Trek (2009)

Director:
J.J. Abrams

Writing credits:
Roberto Orci
and Alex Kurtzman
Gene Roddenberry (television series "Star Trek")

Cast:
Chris Pine
, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Eric Bana, Bruce Greenwood, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Winona Ryder

Star Trek has been hyped through the roof - but still it managed to be ok science fiction movie. There was some odd scenes where logic or personality was missing - like the scene where young Kirk is presented listening Beastie Boys and driving a car over the cliff (at the age of 8 or something) - and at the last moment saving himself by jumping out of the car (what a cliché!!).

Quinto as Spock was best casting choice in the whole film. Adding Nimoy to this was little bit forced - but must have been highlight of the film for typical Star Trek fan-boy (or girl)...

My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009)

Director: Patrick Lussier

Writing credits: Todd Farmer (screenplay) and Zane Smith (screenplay)
John Beaird (1981 screenplay)
Stephen Miller (1981 story)

Cast: Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, Kerr Smith, Betsy Rue

Seeing the trailer - one can easily think that this must be easy-going-back-to-the-basics horror film - but actually seeing the film gives totally different impession.

Bad directing - scare scenes where spoilt by revealing the killer too soon without any suspence. Bad actors and dislikable characters - no sympathy for them what so ever (I welt like rooting for the killer, but he was as uncharismatic as the rest of the cast - unlike Mike Myers (not that canadian comedian, but maniac from Halloween with Shatner-mask)). 3D part was only good thing  about this film - it worked but was too dark sometimes.
