Predator: Killer of Killers — Movie Review

Predator: Killer of Killers Movie Poster
Predator: Killer of Killers is an anthology film told in different chapters.

The first story follows Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), a fierce Viking warrioress leading her son Anders (Damien Haas) and their clan to destroy the Krivichs. Ursa harbors a personal vendetta against the Krivich leader, Zoran, who was responsible for her father's death.

After a brutal battle between Ursa and Zoran, a Yautja suddenly appears and slaughters what remains of both clans.

The next chapter centers on two samurai brothers, Kenji and Kiyoshi (both voiced by Louis Ozawa), sons of a powerful warlord in feudal Japan. One day, their father demands a duel between the two to determine his successor. But Kenji, unwilling to fight his own brother, runs away. Kiyoshi, bound by honor, stays behind and accepts his father's title.

Years later, the brothers reunite, and a fateful duel begins.

Unbeknownst to them, a Yautja has been watching from the shadows, studying their combat. When one brother emerges as the clear victor, the Predator steps in to face the superior warrior in a deadly one-on-one battle.

The next part is set around 1941 to 1942, during the Battle of the Atlantic. This chapter follows fighter pilot John Torres (Rick Gonzalez).

While on a mission, John realizes the enemy aircraft they are fighting isn’t from Earth. It is actually a Yautja starship. Despite orders to stay grounded, John takes to the skies to warn his squadron.

But, it’s too late.

Outgunned and outmatched, John pushes his skills to the limit in a desperate dogfight to bring the alien vessel down.

In the final segment, all surviving “fighters” find themselves captured and taken to a distant planet ruled by the Yautja.

There, they are pitted against each other in a gladiator-style deathmatch. The goal? Prove themselves worthy to face the ultimate Predator warlord. Only the strongest will survive.

Coach Carter: Movie Review

Basketball isn't all about winning. It's about discipline and togetherness.

Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) is a man on a mission to turn a wild, rude, and terrible Richmond High Basketball Team into a champion team, inside and outside the court.

But it will not be easy. Carter's team is failing their class. On top of that, members of the team are embroiled in different issues, such as Timo Cruz (Rick Gonzalez), who deals drugs for his cousin, and Kenyon Stone (Rob Brown), who struggles to come to terms with his girlfriend being pregnant.

Not to mention that Carter's son, Damian (Robert Ri'chard), wants to join his team.

Carter must now make a hard decision to improve the lives of his team and his son without losing all of the respect he established.
