Stupid Scifi from SyFy and Last of the Lumet

High Plain Invaders, obviously commisioned after The Burrowers this scifi western was a steaming pile of blah. A couple of vaguely familiar faces fight a uranium hungry army of badly CGI-d insects in the old west. Some former Buffy dude stars but he's ropey and the script doesn't help. Wouldn't bother.

Serpico - another Lumet classic and probably the last one in my season unless I can get a hold of Night Falls. Anyway it's been years since I've seen this and it still stands up, maybe Pacino isn't quite as good as he is in Dog Day A and maybe the story isn't quite as developed as in Prince of The City but it's still a fantastic, detailed film about NY police corruption.
