Watched the first fifteen minutes. Will try again later when I have a bit more patience for bad editing.
The Objective
Unrated
Mildly interesting movie, up until the 'intelligent lights' and the triangle ships started showing up. What was great about the "Blair Witch Project" was the story lead up before they went out into the woods, and you never saw much of anything at the climax. For this movie, the narrator reveals the story bit by vague bit. The rest of the characters get even less information than the audience and illogically stumble around the desert until they meet their demise.

Aliens
R
One of my favorite movies of all time. Good acting, decent plot, nice effects, plenty of tension and horror. It breaks the rule about sequels as being better than the first on all accounts. Can't beat the ending fight scene in originality. Too bad all the movies that came after it were worse. Liked it even better with the cut scenes added back in.
Jaws
PG
A true horror classic. Only movie that made me uncomfortable with putting a foot in the ocean. Just the perfect mix of humor, horror, and drama. None of the sequels are good in comparison. The one-liners are also addictive. Favorite part: the meal scene where his kid mimics him and then Dreyfuss lays on the line - 'how was your day'. Very nicely done.
