AVH: Alien vs. Hunter

William Katt, Dedee Pfeiffer (2007) Humans get caught in the crossfire between an intergalactic hunter and another alien.

Sci Fi Saturday movie from 2/21.

Did I make a mistake when typing the title? Should that be "Predator" not "Hunter". Yeah, not so much. This one's another offering from "The Asylum", which is a production company which makes rip-off type movies that are named similarly to actual movies.

I tried to watch "Transmorphers" off of Netflix online, but couldn't get more than 5 minutes in before I got fed up. I was hoping that it was something in the vein of Transformers, but it was some post-apocalyptic movie about a world ruled by robots. Or something. I never paid enough attention for long enough to find out.

Anyways, it looks like the main character in this one is a journalist of some variety. The movie opens with him out on a job, oblivious to the object hurtling down through the atmosphere behind him. He gets stopped by a cop friend who wants the reporter to come along with him to investigate the thing that fell from the sky. The reporter is initially reluctant to come, but is convinced when the cop mentions that he has donuts. I think I might like this character.

Although he did try to stop a car that had just passed by whistling at the driver. On the plus side he did the fingers-in-his-mouth type whistle, rather than just the puckered-mouth method. Which makes it somewhat different from usual... And the guy he was trying to flag down got et by a big ass spider... Perhaps if he'd tried something a bit more effective, rather than just whistling...

Thus far, the movie needs more crotchety old guy. I still think its gonna be hard to top Wyvern. That movie had 2 crotchety old guys, in case you didn't remember...

The survivors went to find some guy, for some reason. Apparently they need his help. Probably because he has a shotgun. Anyways, when they show up, rather than helping them out, he decides to use a paint scraper thing to reflect the sun into their eyes. I guess he just enjoys being a dick. I might like his character, too. Probably be a lot cooler character if he was 20-30 years older. Crotchety middle-aged man in nowhere near as cool as crotchety old man.

Oh, and the Hunter turned out to be a technologically advanced redneck. Human. What a Tweest!
