Predators, 2010 - ★★★½

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

Finished reading: Why Mahler? by Norman Lebrecht 📚

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, 2007 - ★

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

Peterloo, 2018 - ★★★★★

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.
