  PG: Psycho Goreman 2020

  ★★★ Watched 13 Nov 2022

  Psycho Goreman or PG for short - that's his human-given name anyway, he actually prefers 'The Arch Duke of Nightmares'- an intergalactic killing machine with aspirations to rule the cosmos under a bloody iron fist, washes up on earth where he unwillingly falls under the command of small town girl Mimi (Nita-Josee Hanna) after she comes into possession of the all-powerful gemaphoraxodite (at least I think that's what it's called) a glowing purple gem from which our 'anti-hero' draws his…

  The Predator 2018

  ★½ Watched 11 Nov 2018 5

  Oh dear.
  Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

  I could just leave it at that as a review as it just about sums up my feelings on this, to put it mildly, ill-advised entry into the perennially disappointing Predator franchise.

  A Predator ship crash lands conveniently right into the middle of an American black ops mission in deepest, darkest South America.
  Captain Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook) is the only man to survive and presumably due to his lack of faith…
