All Predator Movies, Rated
There’s a glut of Predator movies in the franchise now, starting with the classic Predator of 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger, through ’til just this week, with The Predator. Since almost each film has basically the same name (except Requiem), it can be confusing to recall which was released when, with what storyline. Also, each storyline has…

Movie Review – The Predator
This was the best Predator movie besides the very first with Arnold in 1987. The Predator did a great job revitalizing the franchise in a way that the subsequent ones (from the middling Predator 2 sequel through the two AvP disasters) didn’t. [pullquote]If you loved the classic Predator original, you’ll have a good time with…

I also have high expectations for movies with dinosaurs and other ‘real’ animals (as opposed to ‘monsters’). Megalodon was a real shark, and an ancient…

Best Quotes from Jaws

Mega-fake-ladon – How Discovery Channel Deceives People for Viewership
Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to what people can be deceived into believing. But in my humble opinion, it is criminal for a media company, or anyone, to knowingly deceive people just to get views. Please watch the Vox.com video (below), but please don’t watch Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. The Discovery Channel needs…
