Hypochondriac's Worst Nightmare

At this particular theatre, I was by myself. Flying solo. You know how it is. To that end, there were a few seats between me and the person next to me. About half way through the movie, right about where all the looting and chaos is going down, the person next to me coughed. I almost ran for my life! Why? Cuz Contagion got to me in a way a virus thriller never has. This is a smart, terrifying, absolutely believable piece of pandemic pandemonium. With strong performances, slick direction, and a chilling atmosphere, Contagion will convince you to never touch anything... or anyone... ever... again!

I've driven down that street before. 

Thrill of the Kill

As one casually, and by casually I mean hysterically, waits for Inception, the choices at the theatre begin to look mighty unappealing, not that they didn't already. After the sheer awfulness that was The Last Airbender, nothing really looked up to snuff, so to speak, so forgive me if I went into Predators with decidedly low expectations. Imagine my surprise when I came out pleasantly surprised. I'm sorry. I liked this movie. I liked this movie a lot. Sure, it has problems, but, when a film is so unabashedly unapologetic about what it is, in this case a bloody as hell, relentlessly violent, B-movie, I can't help but enjoy it. Hate me if you will, but Predators is one of the best movies of the summer, because it's one of the only movies of the summer to provide exactly what was promised, a seriously fun, damn well made action flick! It's not perfect, but, it didn't need to be.

Just think. If they had upgraded their guns just a little more, they might've actually hurt the Predator!
