holy shit, chef
This movie goes back to basics and really recaptures the classic spirit of man (or woman in this case) vs Predator.
Amber does a great turn as Naru, a Comanche trying to show that she CAN hunt and ends up in a battle against the almighty predator. The evolution of the story is a well paced and the combat encounters are well planned and satisfying.
Aesthetically the predator is a more raw tribal type than we've seen before but is well put out.
There's a few CGI moments that could have done with a little longer is post but on the whole it's pretty good.
Fun, exciting and a classic Predator tale without all the fluff, much better than what we've seen in recent years.
Also the addition of a dog companion is fun :-) Although we are in a world where every movie likes to show strong women I think this movie framed it very well and the Comanche and time frame were a great choice.
8/10
The movie, Interview with the Vampire, has always been a fav. After the first episode, I immediately nearly forgot the movie and fell in love with Anderson's Louis and Reid's Lestat. Everything about Rolin Jones' interpretation feels right. The era change, the age differences for Claudia, having Louis be Black. Top notch story-telling so far. Looking forward to following this story.
This is what pushing the limits of television looks like. Concept, execution and aesthetics, 10 out of 10.
Fishback should be crowned Queen B herself for the acting master class she's pulled off. Legendary.
Great show. I'm sure we can all agree that the first season was fantastic while the second season had its moments but was overall incredibly slow and boring. And while the first season was also slow, it wasn't boring. I hope the third season is more along the lines of enjoyment the first season was.
I loved it and I'm glad that Gaiman was involved. In my opinion the the start was (First 4 episodes were so good it made the next ones hard to fiollow) a lot stronger than the finish, and I do hope it picks up next Season.
But it's very faithful to the origin source and even on the books some stories are better than others.
All in all I loved it Hope you do too.
The sounds of wailing women being the police siren sound was disturbingly beautiful.
It is contradictory that, the worse fit they have in the MCU, the more interesting these proposals for series of lateral characters are. In this case, there is a remarkable approach to multiple personality disorder that, mixed with Egyptian mythology, offers a very striking proposal. But, when it tries to regain the connection to the MCU, it becomes conventional and uninspiring. Oscar Isaacs is superb.
Outside of a speed bump in the fifth episode, this was a fantastic season!
