Movie Guide: Friday, July 9th
Predators (R) -
In the original flick, a lone Predator came to earth to hunt humans for sport. Arnold Schwarzennegar played a super soldier who fought off the malicious alien with the help of an ultra-equiped military squad. In Robert Rodriguez’s new version eight mercenaries, convicts, and elite fighters are abducted and dropped onto a foreign planet. Their first assumption – that they are there to do the hunting - turns out to be wrong. The truth, they soon learn, is that they’ve landed on a game preserve and they are game. Starring:
Adrien Brody, Alice Braga,Louis Ozawa Changchien, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov
Directed by:
Pros: High Body Count
Cons: As good as the original?
Why see it? Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) has been writing the script since 1994 in an effort to make it as good of a sequel as James Cameron’s “Aliens” was to Ridley Scott’s original
Who should see it? Guys who need a movie to take their ladies to in order to get back at them for being dragged to see the new Twilight.
