The Faculty

Remember in the 90s when meth was a drug that was "cool" enough that you could have the high school meth dealer in a horror flick defeat the alien teachers with his meth?

From Dusk Til Dawn

This is the first R-Rated movie I saw in the theater. At the time I was like "Awesome, people getting shot in the head, titties, and vampires!" Now I am like "Uggggghhhhhhhh *dies*." It embodies all of the worst elements of 90s action movies, from terrible rock soundtracks to dialogue that sounds ripped off from Pulp Fiction (duh) to bad CGI to Juliette Lewis, but I guess I need to give it a little bit of credit for being a crime movie that all of a sudden turns into a vampire movie (spoilers).

Predators

It only took twenty-three years, but they finally made a decent sequel to Predator. Predators goes out of its way to make you remember just how awesome the first Predator movie was by recycling some of the original film's score and by putting the Predators back in a jungle setting. Despite the occasional pause for some exposition, the movie keeps up a good pace, moving from one action scene to the next. The special effects are good, with lots of 'splosions and minimal crappy CGI. The performances from the human characters are also uniformly good, even That '70s Show's Topher Grace (no, really).
