Battle Los Angeles Trailer
The international teaser trailer for Battle: Los Angeles opens with a narrator explaining that approximately 100,000 Los Angeles-area residents "witnessed something in the skies" above the city in February of 1942. The narrator goes on to explain that anti-aircraft guns were fired at the mysterious object, "to no effect." "This actual encounter," the narrator says, "was only the beginning." As images of other unexplained encounters in several cities worldwide, including Buenos Aires, London and Seoul, are shown, the narrator says, "their objective has never been explained...until now."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uIvWE4ixdg
The trailer then offers several clips from the movie, showing aliens invading all over the world. Viewers learn that "there are massive casualties" in Moscow and Paris and that communications with New York, Tokyo and Rio are cut off. As images of raging battles between armed forces and aliens are shown, a voice can be heard saying, "We cannot lose Los Angeles."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uIvWE4ixdg

Skyline Trailer
The trailer for Skyline opens with a panoramic view of Los Angeles, California, at 4:27 a.m. A brief flash of blue light is shown descending onto the city. As the camera pans out, several other flashes of blue light are shown. The trailer then shifts to an apartment, showing a bright blue light coming through the blinds of a bedroom.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETpEA21wR2s
Several people inside the apartment awaken to realize that the city is under siege by aliens. Several spaceships are seen hovering over the city. As they turn on the television, the group realizes that spaceships are hovering over other major cities, including New York. The trailer suggests that the aliens are abducting inhabitants of Earth by luring them towards the bright blue light. The group decides to try and get out of Los Angeles. The trailer includes several glimpses of alien creatures as the survivors attempt to make their escape.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETpEA21wR2s

Skyline Movie
- "This sci-fi thriller manages to blend genuine suspense with unintentional laughs...The Brothers Strause also have their timing down, creating tension and dread even in the most ridiculous of situations."—Pam Grady of Box Office Magazinehttp://www.boxofficemagazine.com/reviews/2010-11-skyline
- "There’s a particularly insulting kind of awful movie that doesn’t leave you mad at the director (but you could be) or the cast (even though they’re mostly awful, too)...To see “Skyline,’’ a science fiction action movie that opens this weekend, is to wonder why you’re watching it."—Wesley Morris of The Boston Globehttp://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2010/11/13/in_skyline_awful_is_not_an_alien_concept/
- "Skyline has one semi-inspired moment, and an hour and a half of intolerable ones."—Nick Schager of Slant Magazinehttp://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/skyline/5158
- "Trapped inside what looks like a Marina del Rey condo complex, the principals raise and lower the blinds, run up and down the stairs and occasionally venture outside, while the audience, if it has the energy, yells: “No! Don’t do that! That’s stupid!” Eventually it turns out that all the running and hiding and chopping (there’s an ax) was beside the point, which is the sort of thing that can make you angry if you care about the characters, but in this case is kind of a relief."—Mike Hale of The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/2010/11/13/movies/13sky.html?partner=Rotten%20Tomatoes&ei ...

Predators Reviews
"...the new edition, in its best moments, is an unabashed B-movie that plays like a jacked-up "Twilight Zone" with award-winning actors delivering the pulp-infused dialogue."—Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporterhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/predators-film-review-1004103200.story
"...an uninspired mess of mediocre action scenes strung together until the final reel."— Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weeklyhttp://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20400097,00.html
"...lacks the quiet suspense of the first Predator, and please don't even mention the Alien vs. Predator pictures, which lacked the subtlety of Mothra vs. Godzilla."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100707/REVIEWS/100709982
"...the sequel that John McTiernan and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 original deserved, as director Nimrod Antal delivers enough hard core sci-fi, explosive action and monster mayhem to justify its belated arrival."— Nigel Floyd, Time Out Londonhttp://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/88696/predators.html
"A solidly okay Saturday night effort, but unambitious considering the talent involved."— Kim Newman, Empirehttp://www.empireonline.com/reviews/review.asp?FID=136706

Stereo (1969 Film)
"... though it gave me a few guarded chuckles it was hardly worth the effort sitting through such a tedious affair. Fortunately Cronenberg got over his pretentiousness early on in his career and went on to be a great filmmaker." &mdash Dennis Schwartzhttp://www.sover.net/~ozus/stereo.htm
"... doors that won't open, enigmatic card games, long empty corridors and sex on an examination table make it all quite old fashioned, and the images are as formless as scrambled eggs."&mdash Nora Sayre, New York Timeshttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/stereo/
"... essential to Cronenberg fans, (a) dispassionate portrait of fictional experiments in the mutation of mankind in the near future." &mdash Sean Axmakerhttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/stereo/
