INCEPTION
"Inception surpasses all possible expectation. It’s like Episode I, in reverse." -- Rachel Hyland
PREDATORS
"This effort is mostly right out of the Alien Stalker Movies for Dummies playbook." -- Malcolm Matthews
THE LAST AIRBENDER
"Right from the sweeping opening scenes on the ice of the Southern Water Tribe homeland, I knew that I should not have left my Spielberg Stereotype Checklist at home.." -- Colleen Reed
THE
SORCEROR'S APPRENTICE
"Acting-wise, Cage steals the show. At any given moment, it looks like he is just having a blast working on this film." -- David Baldwin
THE
TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE
"Much as the inarticulate Miss Swan’s endless appeal to both Edward and Jacob is somewhat inexplicable, so too is this movie’s now irresistible appeal to me" -- Rachel Hyland

Our topic this month, in honor of Piranha 3-D:
When Mutant Animals Attack!
DEEP BLUE SEA"I love crazy scientists. Everything just makes so much sense to them. You can’t get enough good juice out of a shark’s brain. So what do you do? Get more sharks? No!" -- William Cashin
EYE OF THE BEAST"A big waxy tentacle squirms its way aboard a boat that is then enveloped by a gigantic, many-armed monster from the deep! Ooh, this movie's gonna be great! -- Rachel Hyland
PRINCESS MONONOKE"When one thinks of mutant monsters attacking, it's doubtful that the first movie to come to mind is Miyazaki’s animated masterpiece..." -- K. Burtt
TREMORS"It may not sound like the most exciting, original, and/or... well... good, plot, but it really does hold together surprisingly well." -- K. Burtt
