    Minding the Gap

    ★★★★

    Three skateboard buddies find their lives set on different paths as they reach adulthood and find challenges with new adult responsibilities.
    "Minding the Gap" is such an honest look at three unpredictable lives and how their wins and losses can be effected by their past and their futures.
    Heartbreaking, honest, and easily to get lost in, this documentary is haunting and unforgettable.

    On the Other Hand, Death

    ★★★½

    ★★★½

    I hope the series continues with Predators hunting warriors from different eras.
    Hopefully we'll get to see something in the 1800, where the Predator takes a glove slap from an upper-class English man.

    Otherwise this is a solid entry to the "Predator" series. It keeps the story simple (although the script could use some tightening), focuses on action and setting. The location scout needs to be commended too. This is a beautiful looking picture.
