This! I watched it then it was on at another time and the OH wanted to watch it. I said you can if you want but if you do then I'm off to cut the lawn, with nail clippers. She still hasn't seen it.

You've not seen 'Battle of Los Angeles' I suspect - Skyline was a disappointment, but it's like the David Lean/Steven Speilberg version of BoLA! biggrin

talking of syfy have you not seen some of their other corkers?

Two headed shark - Carmen Electra stars against you guessed it - a shark with two heads

Sharktopuss - imagine a shark head with the tenticles of an octopuss? yes you've guessed it - it can walk on land too!

I'm surprised that the big budget guys haven't taken the makers of these B-Movie type films to court, they are so obviously trading on a similarname to get sales (even if the story is completely different).

In the OTT letigious [sp] world of Hollywood, I'm just surprised they even get made.

Yeah, why not? That one that is just a rip-off of Alien/Predator? Why aren't they all in gaol?

I really enjoyed Darkest Hour ......

But Battle of LA is diabolical. The only good thing about it was Nia Peeples, who does look bloody good for a 50 year old.

Ive seen hundreds of films including most of those on syfy but nothing comes close to Kingdom of Gladiators.I've never seen acting so bad in all my life.
