Judges David Johnson and Mac McEntire are back in the saddle for another show. Dave shares his experience watching Nomad, the Warrior and its lack of "holy crap" moments. Mac loves his Monster Squad. The disappointment continues, as Dave fails to be impressed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Mac feels the same about the book (which he just finished). But the tide is stemmed by Live Free or Die Hard, which Dave calls "one of the more entertaining films of the summer." Previewing next week's releases, 300 rises head and shoulders above the crowd, followed quickly by Hot Fuzz, and Pathfinder. Ambush topics of the week: Best gun fights; Monsters that come in strange shapes and sizes; Just die already; Monsters that should be scary but aren't. Enjoy!
