Sci-Fi V.4 2010 Horror Movie Review

LEECHES
  The Lakecrest College swim team is determined to win at all costs, even if it means taking steroids. But winning comes at a horrifying cost when harmless leeches in the campus lake, quietly feeding on the steroid-rich blood of the team’s swimmers, mutate into giant parasites with a vicious streak. No one is safe as these ferocious creatures brutally stalk the students and staff of the rural college and literally bleed them dry. 

THE COLD EQUATIONS
Billy Campbell stars as John Barton, a strictly-by-the-book military pilot who volunteers for a lonely assignment to deliver vital medicine to miners on a far-off planet. His journey takes place on a disposable ship intended for one-way mission—built so efficiently that only essential equipment and the pilot’s weight are factored into the fuel calculations. Shortly after takeoff, Barton is alerted that the ship won’t have enough fuel to land due to excess weight. That’s when he discovers a young stowaway, Lee Cross (Poppy Montgomery).  The sober truth is that the ship won’t land with both Lee and Barton on board. Although he is ordered to have her thrown off the ship, Barton and Lee develop a bond and frantically search against the odds for something else to dispose of. It seems certain that things will end tragically, but before they do, the pair find something in each other that is worth living for and perhaps something for which they will sacrifice their lives. 

LAST LIVES
  The walls between one universe and another are blown apart when a criminal from a parallel world crosses over into ours. C. Thomas Howell stars as Aaron, a man who will risk everything to stop Malakai, a ruthless insurgent who has escaped onto Earth. When Malakai kidnaps his fiancée, Aaron’s only hope against his otherworldly opponent is a supply of “life bands,” special bracelets which automatically rejuvenate the dead body of anyone who wears them. Now, armed with nine extra lives, Aaron is prepared to die over and over again to reclaim the woman he loves.  Jennifer Rubin, Billy Wirth and Judge Reinhold co-star in this sci-fi thriller, loaded with explosive action and spectacular special effects. 

FIREHEAD
  When a Russian cyborg with telekinetic powers terrorizes a city, an elite government agency intervenes. Col. Vaughn (Christopher Plummer) convinces “regular guy” chemist, Warren Hart, to team up with a beautiful blonde agent to capture the menace. But Warren finds the true villain isn’t who he expected. Forces of good and evil go head to head in this paranormal story of corruption and redemption…with the world’s future hanging in the balance.
