Thanks for finding time to comment Cromwell.
The 30th Jan, and this event,is not an anniversary I forget: it is Al’s father’s birthday. He has always enjoyed its place as he is anti-monarchist and anti privilege, despite his (state funded) public and Oxford education. It is funny as his wife’s parents worked in the colonies after the war, so politically they do not see eye to eye!

I caught Predators on Friday finally. This stuff either works for you or it doesn’t and this one worked for me. I think they overdid the shaky camera thing in one of the fights and while I’ve always liked Brody he made a far more credible badass than I was expecting. I could have used a bit more info about the Predators and a bit more delving into the Predator/prey hunting sentient creatures tale these stories seem to want to be about but a nice little ride.
I also liked that it was or at least appeared to be lite on the CGI and heavy on actual make-up and muppets for the bad guys. Didn’t seem to have a bunch of effects shots for the sake of having effects shots.
And the terrain/jungle felt alien despite it no doubt being earth.
Must see for diehard fans and must rent for folks who’ve seen Predator a few times more than three but don’t consider themselves ‘diehard.’
