Predator
December 15th, 2008
I wanted to touch base on a classic movie that I recently watched with the benefit of high definition. I still it it amazing that these classics can be reworked to a point where I can see the blood flowing through Arnold’s veins while he chases the translucent predator. While reviewing, I laughed when I came to the realization that another former movie star turned governor shared the spotlight (Jesse Ventura.) Do you think they talked about leading governments in the future while taking on the difficult task of containing the deadliest alien in the 80’s (to be debated.) My next thought turned to how they actually ended up killing the beast. I knew it involved a ditch and tree but I forgot about Arnold’s intuition to wedge the stick and somehow develop a pulley system. I guess that’s why he is Governor of the wonderful state of California and I am writing this blog. Basically, take a Sunday and watch the high def version of Predator, it’s well worth it.
