Predator: BadlandsBadlands - Very Entertaining Fresh Look of The Long Running Predator Films

For the second of our movie marathon day, we had to wait for several hours cause it only played at night in the cinema we went to. It was already released since last week while we were on vacation, so we thought it was better to do it fast before it was no longer available in our favorite theaters. OK then, let's just get started.

Brief story line

Story focused on a Yautja warrior named Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi - Red, White & Brass) who after being seen as weakness to his clan, somehow arrived at the dangerous planet Genna where he aimed to kill a wild beast called Kalisk to prove his worth.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't - An Enjoyable Sequel to the Series with Interesting Addition of New Generation of Magicians

Today I finally got the chance to start seeing new movies in the cinema after our holiday. My wife and I decided to have another movie marathon and this was our first option due to the schedule in the cinema very near to our home. All right then, let us get on with it.

Hallow Road - A Smartly Done Pychological Thriller in Confined Space With Surprising Twist

During the last two weeks, my wife and I went on another vacation out of the country and therefore did not have the chance to see any new movies in the theater. Despite still have access to certain streaming services, I focused on continuing old series rather than watching new releases so I would not feel "obligated" to write my views about them. Anyway on my flight home using Garuda Indonesia, I watched this film that I never heard of but had interesting premise. All right then, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Awaken at 2 AM in the morning, Maddie (Rosamund Pike - The Wheel of Time TV series, The Informer etc) decided to clean her kitchen when she got a call from her teenaged daughter Alice (Megan McDonnell - The Rainmaker TV series etc). Maddie's husband Frank (Matthew Rhys - Perry Mason 2020 TV series, Seal Team etc) who also woke up was concerned on Alice whereabouts. It was later revealed that Alice had taken Frank's car and stormed out after they had a huge fight.
