Movie Rating Watch
Much like Aliens vs Predator: Requiem the majority of the film is set at night time, which was one of the things that I didn’t like about the 2007 movie, it’s a bugger to watch in daytime on a TV, unless you have a room with no windows! So no doubt The Predator will have the same issues when it has its home release.

The Predators have a bit of an upgrade in this latest movie in the franchise, they are stronger, smarter and bigger, which is something that you can see from the trailer. If you think that they are hunting for trophies then you’re wrong, they are harvesting the DNA to make themselves the dominant species.

I won a copy of this book from First Reads on Goodreads.

First of all I have to say that it wasn't bad or good...more of an okay read. There was action & drama. There was a whole host of characters, but the downside to that in my opinion is that none of them were all that well developed with the exception of Randy the main character. His girlfriend MP, seemed important at the beginning of the book, but then she pretty much disappeared. I cound Troy & Emma to be the most fascinating characters, but they weren't developed to the extent that they could've been.
The book tells the story of ex-cop Randy Chalmers, who is now a highly in demand home builder & recovering alcoholic. One day his mentor Terry turns up long dead in a hotel room of an apparent heroin overdose in a seedy motel room. The catch is, Terry had been clean upwards of 15 years. So the former detective in Randy takes over when he begins to doubt that a simple O.D. is how he best friend died. In the course of his not so under the radar investigation, he stumbles across something much bigger & finds that his friend is smack in the middle of it.
The story was a promising idea that wasn't brought to it's fullest potential. It was a fast, okay read, but not one that I find myself dying to share with someone.
