My son loves the Cartoon Network show Ben 10. All he wanted for his birthday last year was the Ben 10: Alien Laboratory so being the great parents (suckers) we are, we purchased it for him. If you were to ask him to review it he would give it A's across the board. But since I am the one actually doing the review, my opinion of it is not as high as his.The Ben 10 Alien Laboratory is a r...

Few films have had as much troubled production as Alien 3. Director David Fincher was brought into the project late into its development; there were numerous creative differences in scriptwriting; not to mention all the pressure of living up to the successes of the two near-perfect blockbusters that preceded it. Fincher reportably disowned the film before editing even began.Deep in hyper sleep,...

Oh dear. Even for a dedicated and passionate Alien follower, such as myself, it is hard to see any good in Alien Resurrection.  So immensely grotesque (even for my liking); a cold, heartless Ripley that is a disappointing far cry from the female action hero we used to love; and a group of wannabe badass marines that neither come close to the crew from Aliens they aspire to be, or...

Alien Syndrome is a good remake but has a bad class system.  However, it is fun once you get a rhythm going if you choose at least a decent class.   Here we have a good control setup but a flawed class system.  I don't really like the class system much; the seal can take a beating but is a very weak offensive class (it takes forever to kill enemies, your weapon uses the same ...

        Monsters Vs. Aliens is a great for people who enjoy pretty pictures and find a plot with new ideas confusing. There is about every Cliché shot and line of dialogue possible in this movie. That said, If you're watching it in 3D the movie is very visually stimulating and the render quality is stunning. Also, there is a lot of 70's and 80...

A space mining ship investigates a signal from a planet and find an alien ship. An alien gets onto their ship and a battle begins.The story is simple but it feels deeper, mostly due to a lot of things left open to speculation.The atmosphere is very eerie with many small, dark sets, fog, crew tension, and attacks from every direction. It all adds up to horror atmosphere.Sigourney Weaver plays Ri...

Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, but an alien has. This time the alien has evolved into a new and deadly form.The prison does not allow weapons and with aid being a long time away, the pri...

Ripley's DNA gets mixed up with the alien and she begins to develop alien characteristics, such as speed, strength, and the ability to sense the queen's location.

Between the rubber and the wood is a nice soft foam like material which makes it stamp perfectly! It is super easy to use and the stamp always comes out perfect.   The design is well done and c...

I pulled my brand new Logisys Alien SP6000 multimedia speakers out of the packaging, and true to the bizarre product name, the concert make-up of Kiss has been artistically immortalized on plastic casings. But I chose the silver model instead of the black model because the silver model matched better with my silver and black Compaq desktop computer. And the overall design of...

This 3rd person shooter is pointless to play.  It is generic, has atrocious 25 second load times, and mediocre controls.  At least when you get past the flaws, it can be somewhat fun to play.  The control scheme does not stick to the popular dual analog setup for the Playstation 2; it uses one analog to move forwards and backwards but has you strafe with L1/R1 to move l...

We purchased two transporters for our boys.  The Ben 10 Alien Creation Chamber allows kids to create different aliens with a slide of the shell.  The set includes two figures with interchangeable alien parts creating many unique aliens.  We thought this was a great idea!  However, we were sorry we bought this toy within hours of receiving it (we even ordered it online paying...

If you have read any of my other fiction book reviews you know that I am a huge fan of Gena Showalter's. This is the first book in the Alien Huntress Series. I am on the look out for book 2. This is a great book for any paranormal romance fan. Gena does not have as much humor in this book as some of her other books. This one is more dark and intense. I also liked the cover of this book a lo...

This is an intriguing book about extraterrestrial life??? Marrs explains the nature and his theorized origins of mysteries such as crop circles, cattle mutilation, military conspiracies regarding aliens. Much of the material presented in the book is supposedly taken from hitherto hidden, confidential governmental files (hard to believe, you'll have to form your own opinion as to the authent...

The Alien and Predator series from Fox have always been my favorite sci-fi movies, especially Predator from which to this day I can still almost quote every line from each movie. The two collided onscreen for the first time in 2005, and it didn't turn out so well. This time with a new director behind the wheel, the violence cranked up, the profanities back, this movie looks to be what we ...

Ahh!! The robots we all know is back! However, are they really robots in disguise? The truth is they are not!!! They are aliens on the run. Well... on to the real subject. The transforming Optimus Prime is back in stores. The model itself is amazing because of all the details and coloring. Also, when I found out you could shoot out stuff, I was just amazed. I kept shooting cans with my mini-rob...

I am one to really enjoy a good cup of coffee.  I especially like coffee in mornings when I get up.  However, sometimes there is not time to wait on the coffee pot to churn out the coffee.  Other times, I really don’t want to wait!  The Black and Decker 12 Cup Coffee Maker solved my early morning coffee problems. There is a terrific timer on the Black and Decker 12 ...

Be careful around Mr. Krupp- he's awfully grumpy and cranky and will yell at anyone that gets too close. But most of all, be sure to not to snap your fingers around him- or you're in for another exciting adventure of Captain Underpants! The Captain Underpants is a hit among elementary school kids, with giant pictures, flip books, cartoons, comics, and a hilarious storyline. While it may...

There is quite simply no easy way to put it so I'll just say it if you want the fastest and I mean the fastest system on the planet maybe even in our solar system then please look no further than the ALX X58 Advantage this ladies and gentlemen is just a cut above the reset but be warned if all that sounds good to you unless your Bill Gates or Chuck Bass my next point won't have you jump...
