the dim pause

Watching Bernard Levin interviewing Leonard Bernstein from 1982. Making me appreciate how impressive Bradley Cooper’s portrayal of Bernstein is in the film Maestro 🎥 📺 🎵

Predators, 2010 - ★★★½

A close-up of a man with dirt and glowing red marks on his face and body stands in front of a mysterious alien creature with glowing red eyes, accompanied by the word PREDATORS at the bottom.

Definitely in the same vein as the 1987 Predator. Not too bad as a sci-fi survival action film.

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, 2007 - ★

A Predator and an Alien are depicted facing each other with Earth in the background, representing the movie Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

Definitely the poorest of the Alien/Predator/AvP films I’ve seen so far. Very poor and very dark (illumination 🔦 not mood ☹️).

AVP: Alien vs. Predator, 2004 - ★★★½

A menacing face-off is depicted between the alien Xenomorph and the armored Predator, with the AVP logo below them.

Peterloo, 2018 - ★★★★★

A large group of soldiers in red uniforms confronts a crowd of civilians in an industrial city setting, with the word PETERLOO prominently displayed in green text.

This is my second viewing of Peterloo and I've rated it more highly this time - 5★ instead of 4★. On first watching I found it a little long and slow, dragging slightly. This time I was far more engaged with the characters and found it a gripping slow-burn to a dramatic finale. Great filmmaking.
