Movie Review: ‘The Predator’ Falls flat in Disappointing Entry to Classic Franchise

As the latest franchise to be revived by Hollywood, the “Predator” films have always captured audiences with their thrilling action, quippy dialogue and humor, impressive special effects and unique costume design. Writer/director Shane Black’s “The Predator” attempts to touch on each of those traits of the first three films, but instead crash-lands well off course, turning in what is easily the worst of the three Predator films and delivers something closer to the abhorrent Alien vs. Predator movies. The premise of the film is cliched, and falls painfully short of being intriguing. One normal-sized Predator lands on Earth after being chased by a larger Predator that begins to hunt the normal one. The humans caught in the middle of the latest chase are a group of escaping Marine veter...

Infinity War: Thanos Originally Walked Through a River of Blood Post-Snap

Thanos was supposed to walk on a river of blood from his snap victims during the Soul World scene towards the end of Avengers: Infinity War. After years of plotting and trying to collect all six Infinity Stones, the Mad Titan finally achieved what he believed was his life's purpose by wiping out half of life in the universe in the hopes of balancing it. This is despite a gallant effort from Earth's Mightiest Heroes and their allies to stop him. Considering where Avengers 3 left things for both the heroes and Thanos, there is a myriad of ways things can pan out for both parties in next year's Avengers 4. While Tony Stark and other remaining heroes are expected to do everything in their power to restore the universe and take down the intergalactic villain, it's more curious to know what t...

Joss Whedon Explains Why Marvel Is So Brilliant To Work With

A lot has happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since Joss Whedon last directed a film there, but he still thinks Marvel is a brilliant place to work. Specifically, he thinks that Marvel's brilliance comes from the studios' willingness to take directors who might not be the first choice anybody would make for a major tentpole release, and let them not only direct the films but be given a voice in their creation and direction. Speaking during a roundtable of several Marvel directors that is included in the digital release of Avengers: Infinity War, Whedon said... "Something Marvel does that is brilliant and it applies to all of us is that, nobody here necessarily had the resume to make the next big action film. They were interested in having that person speak they weren...

The mind can be solved.” What fo...

‘The Predator’ Returns to Conquer Earth in Bloody New Trailer

Fox’s “The Predator,” a restart of the alien action franchise that launched in 1979, is returning to Earth in a bloody new red band trailer. The scenario is set by Sterling K. Brown’s character, Will Traeger, who explains, “I’m in acquisitions. I look up and catch what falls out of the sky.” The footage features several shots of the violent extraterrestrial hunter, who brings chaos to the suburbs.

Donald Trump’s New Campaign Slogan Is From A Horror Movie: An Update

With the release of “The First Purge,” the latest installment in the 5-year-old dystopian franchise about government-sponsored killing sprees, you might be wondering, “Huh, is President Donald Trump still planning on using that ‘Keep America Great’ slogan that was ripped straight from the horror movies?” Well, readers, he is. We waded into the complicated, literally horrifying waters to find out that, yes, Trump’s team has indeed filed applications to trademark the phrase. And no, the “Purge” creators are not surprised.
