PREDATOR.JPG
i had a rather bad day yesterday and decided some very easy and therapeutic viewing was in order. As the badness was work related (not from this job, dear reader) I wanted something very violent were many people meet their makers. I chose Predator, and I'll be damned if it wasn't the cure for what ails ya'. The film is SO insanely macho that one cannot take thier eyes off the damned thing. I mean, I know it's Schwarzenegger, but really. In a scene where they unload their ammo into the empty jungle, I couldn't help but pleasurably guffaw. And once the Predator comes in, it reminds of how much better things look when they actually exist, rather than being computer generated. I'm not saying run out and rent it, but wait for a bad day where you really feel like hitting the wall and watch this instead.

About

Film @ Flukiest is devoted to the analysis of contemporary film and to observing how the oldies might hold up, years after their execution. There is a certain tendency to focus on those films that lie at the fringes of respectability. But that's probably why you're here instead of at RogerEbert.com.
