  Prey 2022

  ★★★½ Watched by G Doyle 09 Aug 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  That was proper good.. . Feels like a Dark Horse Comics idea fleshed out. Maybe more a DHP short story.
  Predator was mimicking Axe & Tomahawk melee combat. Fight like your prey, which I’m sure is a predator thing. I get the idea that Predator was adolescent. More when he’s playing with game (Wolf, bear.) Getting injured.

  
  Flintlock .. Doesn’t really make any sense. Well outside essentially a elder must retrieve that later on. Meaning that Comanche Tribe get they asses handed to them when whatevers on the ship comes back.

  
  There’s a Shoshoni language dub version on here as well.

  Top Gun: Maverick 2022

  ★★★★ Watched by G Doyle 08 Aug 2022

  Managed to find a cinema that was still showing this. Genuinely surprised by it. Some of the twists and turns. Think its a stronger film than the orig. Third act is a straight up mid campaign Ace Combat mission. The writers had to of been exposed to it.

  
  Now… .  here me out.

  Predator 2 1990

  ★★★★ Rewatched by G Doyle 07 Aug 2022

  It’s been a hot day. So is Predator 2

  One of the greatest opening transition shots. After watching Robocop in the cinema last week. How much it influence a lot of early 90’s action movies that are set in a close future. Specially in the opening street shoot out. Urban warfare, greasy live news reports. Tooled up subway commuters.

  RoboCop 1987

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by G Doyle 02 Aug 2022

  35th Anni Print only released on Cinemas. Like Lynch’s Dune 8 months ago, probably won’t have the opportunity on a general release again.

  All the POV stuff when the lights go out for Murphy, we are left in the void and they boot Robo are transformed on a cinema screen. Also this print really brings out Robo’s shifting colour paint work. This effect was always more obvious in photography on Robocop 2. 

  
  That’s the stuff I’m here for… familiar films made new.
