   I watched a rough "screener" version of AvP: Requiem some while ago. Didn't   
   like it all that much, and mind you I DID like AvP 1. Placing a movie like   
   this in suburbia with teenagers running around - it just feels cheap to me.   
   What's next - Freddy vs. Alien?   
      
   Never heard of the other movie you mention. I'll check it out.
