This is a poor remake Can we just make sure that everyone knows that this is a contemporary reimagining of the Predator-movie with Arnold? Ok? Everyone on board with that? Cool. Then we can continue. Alan is not Arnold. The actor is large, and he moves well, maybe even better than Arnold, but he has no charisma, and lacks screen presence in this role. The monster is not the Predator.…

**Netflix executive after playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time: "Holy crap, I have the perfect idea for a movie!"** War Machine is a movie where John Armyman fights a Metal Gear while saying badass one-liners and eating nails for breakfast, because he's that cool and badass - isn't that right kids?

Just in time for the US's war of aggression in Iran comes "War Machine." A bravado ridden affair where the US military rules the world and its working class tough guys (and one girl) take on all aggressors, including giant 80's-style VCR-like UFOs with legs, missiles, and ray guns. Viewed as simplistic military action, entertainment its alright. Lots of people get killed in grisly style, and things go "ka-boom.…
