'Alien vs. Predator' vs. audience

Did anyone really expect 2004's "Alien vs. Predator" to replicate the chills of either horror franchise? They just wanted to see the two best movie creatures of the past 20 years slug it out for 90 minutes.

The film gave us that, and not much more. But it didn't prove nearly as painful to watch as its sequel, "Alien vs. Predator: Requiem." That film comes out on DVD April 15, but I've filed an early review at Eclipse Magazine. Tough to watch, and not just because of the lousy content. It's one of the darkest films I've ever seen.

Hey, which Denver 'burb gets eaten, you don't say in the article ... I'm rooting for Broomfield!

It's not a famous Co. 'burb, and frankly my last therapy session successfully blocked out all memories of this film. Money well spent, eh?
