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.

Home Invasion with a twist.

This is one of those movies where I found you just can't trust "expert" reviews in because though they all hated it I've yet to meet an actual horror/thriller fan that didn't just love You're Next.

It really took the home invasion genre and gave it a gorey and all around fun change with a great twist that the helpless finale girl is actually a total kick ass survivalist that just plain old fucks everyone up.

One for Ring fans
Well been wanting to see this for a while as the first film was really good. This definitely feels like a low budget follow up which is a shame, but the cast is quite recognisable from other shows. It's more thriller than a horror with no scary or gruesome moments. Bit surprised at the bad reviews, if you like the other films you'll probably find this ok.
  
As Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in cinemas, it's the perfect time to revisit the previous films in George Lucas's epic series. The original Star Wars (1977) dazzled audiences on its first release, but opinions on the blockbuster film series have have changed over the years.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) initially met with sniffy reviews from the critics, and is now generally considered one of the best films in the franchise. So where will @Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) rank?

Critics are suggesting that The Last Jedi might be even better than expected – but where should it really come in the definitive Star Wars ranking?
