We constantly get our hopes up for upcoming movies... and then they let us down. It's easy to get sucked into the hype cycle, as people talk up their projects — but sometimes, you can tell just from the way people talk about a film that it's probably not going to work. Here are eight key phrases that usually indicate…
With Star Wars Episode I hitting theaters all over again, there's been a whole new wave of interest in George Lucas' biggest letdown. And we've been remembering some of the other prequels that have tried to fill in backstory over the years.
Aliens descend onto the major cities and start just hoovering people up, in the awesomely crazy new film Skyline. But the new trailer reveals more of the mayhem, including deadly tentacles. And check out some new death-orgy-tastic images.
The Asylum's zero-budget knockoffs of Hollywood science fiction epics may have reached their pinnacle with AVH: Alien Vs. Hunter. Just check out this scene where the dildo-headed Hunter, and then the Alien, both attack the Greatest American Hero, William Katt.

A rogue scientist goes inside the mind of a cyber-soldier to try and reprogram him and redeem his humanity, in the independent film Offline, from director Matthew Santoro. The trailer, featuring stark dystopian visuals and nightmarish distortions, is below.
Won't somebody think of the bullied kids? They're everywhere, including several of this summer's biggest movies. Everywhere you look, kids are roughed up, getting robbed of their lunch money, having their car keys tossed in a sewer (in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem). Even Shia got hassled by jocks in last summer's …
Don't call Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem a flop, pleads co-director Colin Strause. After all, it's made back its budget and done quite well overseas. "I admit I wish it did better in the US, but these numbers are nothing to feel bad about," he adds. As for the chances for a third AVP movie? it's still a possibility. […
Sure, the Predators look like Rastafarians. In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, the main way you can tell the Predalien is part Predator is his dreadlocks. These guys are like the less-goofy version of Jar-Jar. But how would a real Rastafarian stack up to a Predator? Luckily, we don't have to wonder, because a Rasta…
Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem began its box-office battle yesterday amidst gift-unwrapping and all-day reruns of A Christmas Story on cable TV, and the hate has started pouring in.

It was a sold-out afternoon show for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem in downtown San Francisco yesterday, and I was sitting in between two huge family groups who had helpfully brought about half a dozen kids under the age of eight.

A new Dune movie will be "big big big," says director Peter Berg (The Kingdom.) The David Lynch version was dandy, but "that interpretation has left the door wide open for a remake," Berg says. If it wasn't for the writers' strike, he'd be working on his version of the Frank Herbert mega-novel right now. [MTV Movies…

A Predalien, the new Predator/Alien hybrid, takes out a whole ship full of Predators in the opening minutes of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. Also, the Strause brothers, the directors, revealed they want to make a third AVP movie, which would be a prequel to the first Alien movie.
Two new trailers for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem came out in Japan today, and they may scare you away from this Christmas release.
