Question
Have you seen these following movies...

1. The Haunting (1999 version)
2. Star Wars episode 2
3. Aliens 1, 2, 3 and Alien Resurrection?
4. Alien Vs Predator?


Answer
1. The Haunting
2. Star Wars Episode II: The Attack of the Clones
3. Aliens 1,2,3 and Alien Resurrection
4. Alien VS Predator

I have seen all of the above. The Haunting was a mediocre Horror film. The better of the two for that year would be House on Haunted Hill which in my oppinion was more of a Horror than The Haunting.

Star Wars Episode II was an okay movie. Not really making up for the mistakes of The first prequel and not really living up to the previous Trilogy. However I have high hopes that Revenge of the Sith (Episode III) will make up for all of this.

I own the Alien Quadrilogy and have personally seen the whole series. This is an awesome sci-fi series that has lots of action and gore.

However the same cannot be said for Alien VS Predator. Not only did they not go with Stan Winston (oringinal creator of the FX for thos respective flicks) but they also handed it over to Paul Anderson who in my oppinion has alot of learning to do when it comes to movies. He has had a success with Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil. But he has also had his downfalls with movies like Event Horizon and Soldier and this movie just adds to his downfalls. One thing though that wasnt his mistake was the rating of the film, that being PG-13, which in all cases is the studio's decision and not the Directors.

Thank you for your question and I hope I was descriptive enough. If you need any further help dont hesitate to ask.
