Movie Review: Predators.

Predators, screened two Thursdays ago, gave me hope that there is some sanity left in the action movie industry in this Tom Cruise's cock gobbling society we live in today. Set in an unknown planet, five outlawed humans are hurtled randomly onto the Earth, each sharing one thing: that they are of the most vicious killers Earth has known. To accompany them, are the Predators; and they are pitted against each other in an orgy of a mano a predator bloodbath for survival and escape.

The character development is certainly interesting, even if the acting was noticeably under par. Though at times, one cannot help but feel that most of the characters are dangerously stereotyped and cliche'd. This obviously isn't aided by the fact that a member of the Yakuza meets his fate after falling victim to the wrong end of a Predator knife wound in a traditional sword bout. Shortly after, it is revealed that a seemingly helpless and vulnerable computer nerd is the one who ends up fucking everyone else's shit up, or at least he tries to, before karma calls on his dad to beat the living pancreas out of him, with fire.

But let us not give all the credit to the humans, the development of the predators is done with such a glorious satisfaction. The very second they are revealed from their cloaking devices, it pretty much seems like they're going to boss the fuck out of things for the entirety of their existence, if it weren't for the need for a "Good Guy" ending. And this baffled me, and a few others, I'm sure. I mean, to put it in terms of a video game: Think all of the Starcraft Protoss Footmen; that' the Zealot, the Dragoon, the Dark Templar, the High Templar, and the Archon, in one unit. Now think of the humans: six Terran marines.

It seems almost impossible, and ridiculous, that the humans ended up winning, because that shit isn't right. And this opens up another flaw I found in the movie; the ending. So it turns out, two people survive, and then the real escape can begin, but one does question, how the hell will they manage that? Perhaps it's something that may be answered in a sequel, but it seemed to be a downfall of the movie, for me. But I feel as if any comment I make on the story line is an effort in futility, certainly. I mean, the story leaves so many unanswered questions, that to ask, let alone answer, seems so trivial.

The music and the atmosphere of the movie wasn't really noticeable, it just seemed to be in background to what was happening, which is actually fine in this case, because the constant action in the film was enough to carry it along. For me, this movie lacked any replay ability factor, and it seems like one of those films where you'd see once, and forget half the shit that happens in it. Also, the script sucked, for the most part.

Overall, I'd give it a possible seven out of ten. It is a movie that is certainly worth checking out, but it seems like thievery to ask more than $10 for the viewing experience.





I don't usually do this, but upon discovery of this "meme"/"spam", I cannot help but to have my interest piqued.

There are many of those quotes that keeps the surgeon inspired about his job, they also help him jump these large obstacles in life. Fortunately, the quotes have been released to the public to help inspire fellow surgeons.
At 10, I was intrigued by surgery, I wanted to be surgeon for a long time. I love doctor shows and surgery shows. Blood is not an issue for me. I even took pictures once of me getting my blood taken.

Dr Babanga, my local doctor, recommended that I should perhaps try superflex before and after breakfast.

Humanity abhors, above all things, a vacuum in itself, and your class will be cut off from humanity as the ?surgeon slowly cuts the cancer and alien growth from the body.

Whilst the surgeon eagerly waits on his next patient you can see the inspiration, satisfaction, determination and brilliance in his face. The surgeon may seem like a fierce creature on choosing his next instrument to use on the patient, and his discussion on the patients ability to take long strides in his future walk of life. Not only does he predict the patients future lifestyle, he predict's the excellence of his close friends; the instruments. The instruments that the surgeon relys on also rely on the surgeon's future, life, cutting-time and inspiration.

The surgeon MUST take time to gather up his passion towards his instruments:-

"My surgeon often used to present his fine tools before I felt the effect of anesthetic; not only did this calm me down but it was truly visible on how inspired the surgeon is about his job"
"the surgeon was a masterpeice upon all masterpieces in life, such as the Moan Lisa or Snake Charm. The surgeon was similar to a transparent bulb in that you could see the 'guts' of the bulb and get an idea on how it may function, but, you can NEVER predict on when it may fiz.
"I would like to see the day when somebody would be appointed the surgeon somewhere who had no hands, for the operative part is the absolute least part of the work."
"Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that he was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon." - The patient is waving. Fantastic.
"I met the surgeon - he offered me a cigarette."
"Let me alone: I have yet my legs and one arm. Tell the surgeon to make haste and his instruments. I know I must lose my right arm, so the sooner it's off the better. "

Lastly: I encourage anyone with a Playstation 3 to acquire a copy of Assassin's Creed Brodahood. And then we'll have some online orgies in that shit.
