My critique of Predator

My critique on Predator:

1) The initial premise of tricking the military guys into thinking it was a rescue mission, only to kill the guerrilla village was totally devoid from anything to do with the Predator plot. It was an incongruous as From Dusk Til Dawn or Sinners, when it was a great crime movie that suddenly turned into a stupid zombie flick.

2) There was no explanation for the Predator. Not where it came from, how it got there, what its purpose was.

3) It was ridiculous that an alien reptilian creature would carry knives as murder weapons.

4) Even from a cinematic / suspense perspective, it made no sense even within the movie why the Predator would explode some people, slice others, and then go hand-to-hand with Arnold as the climax to the movie.

5) Beyond preposterous that the Predator could see the heat of a ferret in the woods, yet a thin coat of mud totally blocked Arnold (even though his eyes were still visible).

6) That Arnold didn't smash its head with the stone just made no sense. As though the Predator wasn't still threat while pinned that should be immediately neutralized. Arnie backs off with the stone.

7) The entire movie after the awesome beginning was a stupid chase through the forest that defied belief even when suspended.

8) The Predator had a grotesque reptilian face, yet was humanoid in all other respects (down to the dreadlocks).

Even by the standards of fantasy action, the movie sucked.

I hope you have enjoyed this installment of Viva Reviews.

A. Art of the Day

Another artistic expression of my own self-impression, the contemplative thought of looking out into the world through the oversized window amidst the shadows of dark and light, in between them both, uncovering and discovering along the way, a singular, solo figure in the space empty of objects but full of opportunities, sparse in materials but rich in ideas, waiting to be realized.

The early morning hue, the fog of the dawn, the invitation of a new day, the beckoning of a promising journey, a simple man with a suitcase awaiting the train, to someplace, somewhere, maybe escaping, maybe seeking, the attractive allure of a new day.

The mirrored reflection creating a paralleled world above and below, the fearsome crocodile coasting in the waterways made from centuries ago, a reminder of the power of the past and the potential of the present in the majestic ancient animal of our past and potential.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Animal communication is like any other form of telepathic, intuitive conversation. The thoughts and feelings of people and animals carry energetic signatures, communicated through very primal, nonverbal channels.” Elizabeth Eiler.
