'We critique because we care"
As a fan of the franchise I am excited to see this film not only in the theaters but ten years from now and in-spite of what the critics are saying. Hopefully The Predator 2018 will live on in the minds of the cinephiles, growing in favor while the contemporary reviews are eventually seen as nearsighted and reactionary much like the original. The Predator films are tough to kill, like the Predator himself and have a habit of easing their way into the cult favorite ether.
Jason Momoa’s new film, Braven, could trace its origins to such throwbacks as “Rambo First Blood 1982 and Commando 1985, unwitting protagonists who have a history of violence and find themselves in extreme situations where they have nothing to rely on but their survival instincts. This film has plenty of suspense, violence and good old fashioned revenge. If you are a fan of old-school action flicks from the 1980’s and looking for a breezy 90 minutes then this is the film for you.
The arrival of Thanos has been foreshadowed and setup as the ultimate showdown with the Avengers since 2007. Marvel Studios has produced 19 films, with 13 more in production, it is the highest-grossing film franchise of all time and it culminates here, at it’s apex, in “Avengers Infinity War” with Thanos, the ultimate villain.
Netflix’s re-boot of the classic 1960s science fiction TV show “Lost in Space” premieres this friday, and if you have enough free time you can watch all ten episodes at once. THE TRAILER looks great, the story appears to be darker than the original, the footage of Parker Posey as Dr Smith is compelling and the robot doesn’t look like a gum ball machine with vacuum cleaner arms.
When one mashes up the mainstream reviews of “Ready Player One” an apt critique emerges, and it’s not that bad.
