The Predator.

 

Gutted - this is pish. Part Marvel super monster OTT set piece action scenes bollox imbued with a Disney family PG script and a cast of wise cracking social misfits  - how original - and to top it all a kid at the centre of it who is meant to be autistic but they seem to forget the autism when it suits them. They've ripped the soul out of one of the classic action movie creations. RIP Predator.

 

PS

Wait till you see the bit at the end. Fuck me, what a load of shite.

 

It was always going to be a piece of shit. 

 

The franchise has been on the slide since the second Predator cast Danny fucking Glover as the action lead. 

 

The first Predator movie is the greatest bloke flick in the history of cinema. 

 

The only slight bright spot being they haven't 'rebooted' it with an all female cast... yet.

Hope it's good. Fucking love L&H, fucking immortal.

The guy who made this film is running some sort of Doric Film-making contest through the Journals, or some such. Anyone heard about this?

 

I briefly entertained submitting an entry to this, but they all seem to be very ploom-in-the-mooth, Crawford and Farqhar cut the crusts orf the serndwiches sorts... and my profanity-laden shite is very definitely not what they'd be looking for.

 

I'm going to guess they want some Hugh fucking Grant caper but with psuedo-doric spoken in an awfy poash voice.

 

Fower Weedins an a Fyownrul... sort of thing.

Starring Melissa McCarthy as the main protagonist trying to stop the predator, played by Madonna, from stealing African babies.

I saw the Equaliser with Denzel Washington this evening.   Good.  8/10.

 

Loved the Russian baddy in it.  Quite tense at times and with good action scenes.  One of those characters where you think "I wish I was like him and could kick fuck out of loads of people at once",

 

Not keen on these revisions of characters as a rule - the 80s Equaliser TV show with Edward Woodward was awesome, with one of my fave theme tunes ever = however I liked Denzel Washington a lot and he was also a producer on it.

Bad Times At The El Royale.

 

Well, it's definitely different. Tarantino-esque in it's direction for sure, a group of odd characters all hiding their own secrets check in at an equally odd hotel. It's interesting enough in its concept but it is fucking long. Would be far better without the lengthy check in sequence at the beginning.

First Man.

 

Not at alll about the moon landing, more a character study of Neil Armstrong come historical document of how Armstrong came to be commander of that Apollo mission. It's a slow mover and won't be everyone's cup of tea and also drags on a bit. 6/10 for me.
