Squirrels hit the genetic lottery with their chubby cheeks and bushy tails. It's hard to imagine picnickers tossing peanuts and cookies at the rodents if they looked like rats.

I had great hopes when I heard that they were making a movie version of Alien vs. Predator, which began as a video game series and seemed sure to increase in greatness. Sadly, much like every other aspect of my life, Alien vs. Predator disappointed me.

Though occasionally successful as an animated wonder, the film is a mundane seasonal tale.

The film has many an interesting nugget about it.

Periodic bursts of cleverness and eye-popping imagery canÂt disguise that this is just another movie full of jive-talking computer-generated animals with little new to say.
