I recall Predator 2 not as much an action flick but more of a slow-burn, noirish horror-affair.
nothing could be further from the truth.
I love Predator 2 though.

Predator 2 is really good. Looking forward to the new one. The last Shane Black one was bitterly disappointing. I don't really remember Predators.

Those hanging corpses near the beginning freaked me the fuck out when I was a wee lad.

Mel Gibson will star and direct in Lethal Weapon 5, with Danny Glover coming back as well.
Super exited.

I super exited from a couple of films in my time. Quantum of solace.
Went into the theater next door and saw Pineapple Express instead.
That was a super exit.
