Let there be....more venom
Venom 2 aka venom - let there be Carnage
Is the second coming of the alien symbiote that focuses primarily on the angry and fragile friendship between Venom and Eddie Brock.

Eddie is still struggling to co-exist with the shape-shifting alien symbiote as well as the break up with his ex Ann (at least for now it would seem) and inserting the very distant and restrained relationship between serial killer Cletus Kasady and his childhood orphanage sweetheart (plot filler) as Cletus brings Carnage to life as they agree to kill Venom, which basically concludes the plot?

The story seems very empty as does Woody Harrelsons performance (unusual for WH)
but does also seem to work well regardless.
Tom Hardys performance is spot on again and the Communication between Venom and Eddie is hilarious throughout.

More fantastic special effects are there as expected and a decent end battle reminiscent to that of its predecessor that end this movie perfectly (post credit scene is awesome)

GARRIDAN'S MATE is part of the Etherya's Earth series, taking place before the battle between Bakari and Callie.

Garridan was born an aristocrat but prefers being a soldier. Siora is one of the first women allowed into the army. Together, these two are badass... once they can get past the misunderstandings that litter their every confrontation.

This was a great addition to one of my favourite series and I'm hoping to hear more about Sebastian and Celine. I also really want to go back and read Callie's story again, just because I can.

This packs a punch, even though it is a novella. The story flows perfectly and the pacing is spot-on. Everything you could ask for in a novella. A great addition to the series and absolutely recommended by me.

If it bleeds, we can kill it
1990s 'Predator 2' has a famous tease - other than the HR Gieger Alien skull on the wall of the spaceship - that the Predators have been visiting Earth for centuries.

Despite that, this is the first one that actually takes that tease and runs with it, set roughly 300 years ago when a Comanche warrior finds themselves in a battle of survival against the titular Predator.

It's also been getting rave reviews, with many calling it the best Predator movie since the original and some even going as far as saying it is better than that 1987 film.

Which makes it somewhat surprising that this was only released via streaming, not even getting a theatrical release.

Having now seeing it, and perhaps having too high expectations as a result of those reviews, I can really only say that I found it to be overhyped - enjoyable enough, yes, but also (very) slow getting started, and with it - in my opinion - definitely missing something by being released only via streaming.
