Outlander

Alien/Predator/13th Warrior---if any of those movies appeal to you, and you know who you are, then you should go to see the movie 'Outlander'. If those movies do not appeal to you, or you have no tolerance for B-movie fun, then you will hate this movie. I obviously have a soft place in my heart for this type of film, which is why I'm writing about it here.
This is the tale of Kainan (played by the always respectable Jim Caviezel) whose spaceship crash lands in Viking territory the year 709. (If you are already thinking to yourself 'how is that possible?' then you do not have the predisposition for this type of movie...again, stay away) It turns out that Kainan has brought with him a formidable creature that he knows all too well, and now has to team up with the locals, using his advanced intellect and their unadvanced weaponry, to defeat it before it takes over. You even get Ron Perlman (Hellboy) showing up for a cameo as one bad-ass viking. Needless to say I enjoyed it for what it was, and what it was, was B-movie awesomeness!!!
