Trial 4 (2020)
Great documentary
While it was long it was entertaining. Netflix has once again shined a light o the corruption. The encompassed the American justice system. Not a perfect resolution but one that brings hope.
The Predator (2018)
A Fun Addition to the Predator Universe
Allow me to preface my review of this film by saying I am a huge fan of the films their canology and the titular character.
This particular installment I found to be just plain fun from end to end the action was gruesome as an R rated movie should be. The kills were way more gory than I thought they would be. The comedic moments were hysterical and Keegan Michael Key is a riot.
The best thing about the film was the subtle and not so subtle call backs to the previous films as well as not falling into obvious plot scenarios. They showed you one thing and then took you somewhere else.
For example they drop the famous "get to the chopper" line but in a much more realistic way. The same with ugly MFer. The inclusion of Jake Busey as Sean Keyes the son of Gary Busey's Peter Keyes from Predator 2. Also the relationship of Key's Coyle and Thomas Janes Baxley is a sweet homage to the relationship of Blane and Mac from the original.
My only gripe is with the ending not being as good as it could. This films climax almost wrote it self from the Predator being discovered as going rouge on its "own kind" to the knowledge it has human DNA to finally revealing a device that can transform in to a bio mechanical Predator suit. There should have been only one conclusion Adrien Brody's character from Predator should have been reveals to be the first Predator all along. The story beats perfectly set up for him to have discovered the Predator suit technology had it used on him only to escape in one of their ships to bring it back to earth to save mankind. Why this wasn't the case I have no idea.
All in all I thought was funny action packed and a great nostalgia inducing popcorn flick everyone should go see.
