Predators

Sunday night I went to see Predators. There is really no way of talking about this film without spoiling the plot. A group of humans are dropped into what is a "Predator" game preserve on another planet. This places the group into an "it is us or them" survival mode. The Predators come to the game preserve in groups of three. Eventually all three Predators are eliminated. But shortly after, our heros look to the sky to see another group of "prey" being air dropped onto the game preserve. There are three things that really bother me about this movie. 1st, Laurence Fishbourne's character goes out like a punk. He survives 10 "hunting" seasons on this planet, but then walks around the corner and bam he is dead. 2nd, Topher Grace's character is a double crosser of some extent. It is revealed at the end that he has been on the planet longer than the rest of his group. But over the course of the movie he allows the group to put himself in positions of grave danger. That doesn't make alot of sense to me. 3rd, Adrien Brody's character uses a low graveling voice through the hole movie, much like Christian Bale in Dark Knight. Just because you are a bad ass, doesn't mean that you have to sound like one. I give this movie a 4 out of 10.

Lyric of the Day:

A broom is drearily sweeping

Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.

Somewhere a queen is weeping,

Somewhere a king has no wife.
