Predatorthon Day 6 The Predator is directed by Shane Black and stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Sterling K. Brown and Keegan-Michael Key. Plot When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe's most lethal hunters' return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. Review I don't think Shane Black gets  Predator , which is sad because he was in Predator . Predator 's not all about jokes, I mean the original Predator had jokes, but they weren't all the time or anything. Shane was probably like "ok, so I'll take the traits from my character in Predator , and give it to every character" and it just doesn't work. MCU humor should only stay in the MCU. Also, Shane Black directed Iron Man 3 . There are more bad Predator movies than there are good Predator movies, unless you don't count the Alien vs. Pre...

Predatorthon Day 5 Predators is directed by Nimród Antal and stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, and Laurence Fishburne. Plot A group of elite warriors parachute into an unfamiliar jungle and are hunted by Predators. Review It's been 5 days since I reviewed a good Predator movie, and while I thought this movie was good, it was not great. Unlike Predator 2 , this feels like a Predator sequel, I mean it's not as great as Predator , but I think it's good. This movie really brings it back to the roots of  Predator  and does not feel like a cop drama or a forced crossover in any way. Also, it's got some cool action and it's pretty awesome watching the Super Predator (or whatever it's called) fighting the classic Predator. And Adrien Brody vs. Super Predator is cool. There was a twist with Topher Grace's character that was just "eh", it turns out that he's a psychopatic murderer back on Earth. Speaking o...

Predatorthon Day 4 Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is directed by Greg and Colin Strause, and stars Steven Pasquale, Reiko Aylesworth, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis, and Ariel Gade. Plot Warring Alien and Predator races descend on a rural Colorado town, where unsuspecting residents have to join together for any chance of survival. Review Ok, I'm going to get the positives out of the way. I liked the Aliens and the Predator, and the Predalien was cool looking. The Predator vs. the Predalien was cool. What I didn't like: Everything else. My god, this movie is abysmal. Near the end it felt like a chore to sit through and I eventually stopped paying attention. Also, you can't see a thing in this movie because of the god-awful (or in this case, non-existent) lighting. Also, the characters are just not interesting at all, at first the teenage characters feel like their from the CW. So this movie is set in some town in Colorado, and the Xenomorphs and the Predator i...

Predatorthon Day 3 Alien vs. Predator is directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and stars Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen, and Ewen Bremner. Plot During an archaeological expedition on Bouvetøya Island in Antarctica, a team of archaeologists and other scientists find themselves caught up in a battle between the two legends. Soon, the team realize that only one species can win. Review You'd think an Alien and Predator crossover would be great, right? Right? Well this movie... it's just kinda passable. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's not something I would really rewatch occasionally. I actually watched this on IFC (not when they were showing Predator 1 and 2, but they were showing the Alien movies) over a year ago and this is my first time rewatching it. I watched the unrated version today and I don't think I could tell you what was added, as it's been over a year. It's got some cool stuff, like showing the Predators have been coming t...

Predatorthon Day 2 Predator 2  is directed by Stephen Hopkins and stars Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Bill Paxton, Ruben Blades, María Conchita Alonso, and Kevin Peter Hall. Plot Amidst a territorial gang war in 1997, a the Predator (Kevin Peter Hall) stalks the citizens of Los Angeles and the only man between him and his prey is veteran L.A.P.D. officer, Lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Donald Glover). Review I just can't think of too much to say, so this review may not be that detailed. Who thought that a sequel to Predator would be so boring? Also, who thought it was a good idea to make a sequel to Predator as a cop drama? It just doesn't work. It's not that this film is flat out awful , as it's just extremely boring. I was uninterested while watching it, and just waiting for it to be over. I first watched this on IFC about a year ago, and it was boring with all the commercials, and it's also boring without them. Whenever I watch a Predator movie, I want t...

Predatorthon Day 1 Predator is directed by John McTiernan and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Elpedia Carrillo, Sonny Landham, Shane Black, and Kevin Peter Hall. Alright, before I actually go on, this may not be a daily or consistent marathon, because there's a lot of stuff going on in my life right now, and the power may be going out where I live, and this may not be daily. Also, not only am I doing the Predator trilogy before I see The Predator , but I'm also reviewing the Alien vs. Predator duology. Alright, onto the review. Plot Dutch's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) team of commandos go off to find hostages. On the way they find skinned bodies with looks of terror on their faces. They find the terrorists camp and kill them all. But thats only the beginning of the bad things. The commandos are picked off one by one by an invisible enemy and die horrible deaths until only Dutch is left... Review Wow, this is an awesome action movie. Predator is great. I ...

The Nun is directed by Corin Hardy and stars Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, and Bonnie Aarons. Plot A priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun. Review If I could sum up how I felt about The Nun , that word would be "disappointed". The Nun is a disappointment. So this movie is a spin-off/prequel to The Conjuring 2 ,as it's about Valak, the demon nun, and it even ties into the first Conjuring , as one of the characters from this was edited into a scene with The Conjuring at the end of this movie. They even added an extra line from Ed, saying "they called him Frenchie". This movie relies way too much on jumpscares, and you can easily see when they're about to come, one of them was even in the trailers . There was even an ad pulled from YouTube because it was too scary...

Well The Nun is out today, and I'm not seeing it today, I'm seeing it a couple days, and I didn't know when to start the Conjuring marathon, I watched all four in the span of three days and figured I would give these short reviews of all of them in this one post, I've never one one of these before. This is actually my first time watching The Conjuring 2  and Annabelle: Creation , which I actually haven't seen at the time of writing this intro. Also, spoilers for all these movies, you have been warned. That said, let's get on with it. THE CONJURING (2013)  The Conjuring is directed by James Wan and stars Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Lili Taylor, and Ron Livingston. Plot Based on the true story in 1971. Paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) are called on to help the Perrons with their celestial disturbance. The disturbance inclines as the Warrens become closer to clearing the family's abnormalities. R...
