Hehe, They Live is okay. What I remember aside from the funny faces and the wonderful scene where he's in the bank and gives his bubblegum line is the ridiculously macho 1-on-1 fight in the back alley. It's like 5 minutes of them taking turns slugging eachother in the face.
I haven't seen Village of the Damned, but his Ghosts of Mars movie was certainly forgettable. I also saw Vampires once, but can't remember much of that one either, not a good sign. In the Mouth of Madness looks and sounds quite exciting, though. A horror writer's fiction coming true - or is it all just in his mind? Or something like that.
I'm not actually too worried about the quality of the film when it comes to acting, plot holes etc. as long as the movie is entertaining. This one looks like it might be, although as you point out there are reasons to be sceptical.
