Halt and Catch Fire

The Predator- love the first one, hated the second one, liked the reboot/remake in 2010 and this one well could of been better. Let me explain the predator franchise is a intrest franchise, mixing togther horror, sci-fi, action and comedy all togther. Sometimes it works like in the oringal one and the 2010 verison, sometimes it doesnt like the sequel. So how does this one hold up. Well all i can say is that its a mix bag. Sometimes the comedy works and sometimes it doesnt. Mostly it doesnt. The sci-fi, action and horror work mostly, kind of, not really. This movie fails as a reboot and fails to live up to the oringal and the 2010 version.

The plot: From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. The universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biologist can prevent the end of the human race.

Some of the cast is good like Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay and Oliva Munn. Some of the cast is just wasted like Thomas Jane, Jake Busey and Yvonne Strahovski. And than their is Keegan-Micheal Key who is both good and wasted at the same time.

All and all, this movie fails overall and should be skipped. But at the same time maybe watch it, if you like the predator franchise.

Far from a classic, but damn good fun

I went to see Thor: Ragnarok on a whim and am so happy that I did. It was so fun, and I had no idea that Taika was the one directing it, but it made total sense once I saw the credits (watch What We Do In The Shadows for an idea of the kind of humor in this Thor).

Sometimes Thor: Ragnarok should have taken itself a little more seriously than it did, but I did not think those moments detracted from my overall enjoyment of the film. Thanks for making action movies fun again, Marvel.

Also please keep Taika Waititi on for the next one. Please.

I wouldn't be without this

As an avid reader, I never like to be without a book. With the Kindle and Kindle app, I never have to worry.
Now don't get me wrong, I also love the sensation of holding an actual book, and smelling the pages (yes, I am a book sniffer), but sometimes it is easier to read from my phone.
As I don't drive, public transport is my friend, and sometimes trying to read a book when in the middle or the rush hour commute, with your face squashed into a stranger's armpit, and an elbow digging into your back, reading on my phone is so much easier!!
