by Alice O'Connor, Dec 28, 2009 5:00am PSTIt truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Friends and family gather round, feasts are held three days in a row and there's enough half-melted refrozen snow slush for you to feel some kind of victory. Unless, of course, so much flu courses through your veins that even your sloshed uncle is more alert, stabler and a better conversationalist than you.
I ended up mostly playing King's Bounty: Armored Princess. It's fun. That's my review.
I've tried almost every potion, poultice, syrup, pill, powder, lozenge and tincture under the sun, all to no avail. Desperate times call for desperate measures and it'll be a cold day in Walthamstow before I let Kwanzaa be ruined too so if I'm not on the mend by tomorrow it'll be the ole Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. Dilute! Dilute! O.K.!
I never liked female action heroes, as they always came off like some... I don't know. Just not cool, fake and smug. It always were overdone in my opinion, not only with heroes but also villains. Like that annoying uzi woman in underwear from The Transporter 2.
But Ripley, dayum sister, that was badass. The first female action hero I found truly awesome.

It seems impossible these days to do an alien-monster movie without lapsing into camp or self-parody - it's like filmmakers have written off the whole subgenre as "been there, done that" and decided to just make us laugh, assuming that we can't be scared anymore.
