Postman Sometimes a movie can come out where a major, massive misunderstanding will occur when it comes to that movie’s themes and subject matter, regardless of any of the positive qualities that said movie might actually possess. The cause of this misunderstanding can be any number of different factors, but mainly it all comes down […]
Predator Remembered today as one of the best pure action movies ever made as well as the most succinct fusion of that genre with sci-fi, this 1987 classic from director John (Die Hard) McTiernan of course brings front and center the undisputed king of 80s action in Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, the leader of a […]
