Predators Mini-Review And More

As part of my birthday festivities, I wanted to check out Predators as it was pretty much the only movie at the theater right now that I wanted to see other than Toy Story 3 (which I still haven't).  Even though it looked alright, I still had my reservations about it.  Would it end up sucking like the Aliens vs Predators movies did?  Will Adrien Brody be able to pull off being the lead in an action film?  Will Danny Trejo not be awesome?  Luckily, all of my worries were wiped away as Predators ended up being quite good...well, not ALL my worries.  ***Mini Spoiler - Danny Trejo is the first one to die.  :-( ***

The Boondock Saints 2 Mini-Review (Or "Stereotypes and Slow-Mo" as I Like To Call It)

So I decided to check out The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day last night with a few friends (a few of which had already seen it). But despite the fact that I loved the original movie, I wasn't too psyched up for it. First of all, I re-watched the first movie recently and though I still liked it, it didn't quite hold up over the years. Plus, I heard a good chunk of critics tear the movie apart. Yeah yeah, I hate critics as much as the next guy (despite me practically being an unpaid one) but a good chunk of the critics that matter were actually fans of the original and thought the sequel wasn't all that great. The chief complaint among them was the fact that we basically waited ten years for a carbon copy of the first movie and I actually tend to agree with that sentiment. But that doesn't mean the movie isn't any good.
