Predators. 2010.

A group of people parachute into a unfamiliar jungle and become hunted by a alien race.

After Alien Vs Predator: Requiem I thought the franchise had gone and never get the spark back, I will admit I didn't really get on well with this at the first glance but after a re-watch i'm now eating those words. All the characters are likeable except one douche and was happy to see him bite the dust. The plot itself basically jumps right into it and gives it a bit more tension, even though you know what's going to happen and a few twists along the way. I'm glad I give this one another chance.

Cocoon. 1985.

We got Wilford Brimley, Hume Croyn and Don Ameche sneaking away from their retirement home trespassing onto the next property for a swim except Brian Dennehy is renting the property and placing coccon's in the pool. The trio decide to swim in it and discover they are feeling youthful with a bit more lead in their pencils. We get the jist of the story that Brian Dennehy and his friends are aliens and are friendly just rescuing their stranded friends, lighthearted family sci-fi with a few laughs along the way.
