Run From The Spaceships
War of the Worlds- is a good remake of the oringal, taking a different spin on it. Plus you have Tom Cruise running from spaceships which is a plus in my books.

The plot: Dockworker Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) struggles to build a positive relationship with his two children, Rachel (Dakota Fanning) and Robbie (Justin Chatwin). When his ex-wife, Mary Ann (Miranda Otto), drops them off at Ferrier's house, it seems as though it will be just another tension-filled weekend. However, when electromagnetic pulses of lightning strike the area, the strange event turns out to be the beginning of an alien invasion, and Ferrier must now protect his children as they seek refuge.

Its a good sci-fi action thriller.

Almost perfect
Contains spoilers, click to show
Based on the world wide videogame franchise phenomenon, Hitman follows a highly trained silent assassin, known only as Agent 47, who after learning of a plot against him possibly stemming from his organizations HQ, he is quickly thrown into a game of cat and mouse with interpol agent's quickly closing in on him.

Timothy Olyphant stars as Agent 47 in this barrel blazing, hardcore action/thriller story of violent retribution.

Fantastic stunt action, edge of your seat combat sequences & superb special effects.

Actually considered the worst of the two (unless you've actually seen both, then ya know better) this is one of the closest I've seen to a perfect videogame movie adaptation.

F***ed-Up Action Thriller of the Highest Caliber
I checked this out from the library because someone told me that it's Josh Brolin's finest performance, and that might actually be true. It's a brutal film, not just the action scenes but emotionally as well, and it's likely to surprise you. But here's the thing: you get to the end of the movie and all you can think is, "Damn! Now THAT'S f***ed up..." And I don't even swear, typically! I'm not sorry I saw it. But I don't think I'll be seeing it again.
