Robocop DVD Review

Advantages: Characters, Intelligence, Humour, Plot.S
Disadvantages: Stop-Start Animation is a little dated by today's standards.

...genre. Along with The Terminator, Robocop is considered to be one of the most definitive movies of Cyberpunk, a subgenre of Science Fiction; an exploration of man with machine. Paul Verhoeven's film is brutally violent, funny, and thought provocative. A classic. It's a scary thought living in the future. "Old Detroit", as it's called, is all about Capitalism and the media, with little regard for the people's lives. The Police Department has become ...
...authorities didn't count on was Robocop regaining memories from his previous life. Going beyond the confines of his programming, he begins hunting down the gang of drug dealers responsible for his brutal execution, as well as bringing justice to the greedy company bosses that created him. And that is indeed one of the main points of the film: the proclaimed "Robocop" appears more humane than a majority of the big company bosses do; forcing us, the ...

Nine Pieces of Eight?????

Advantages: Excellent Acting, great story and effects, Johnny Depp!
Disadvantages: None

...of watching the first two Pirates movies I certainly had to watch the third so I could complete the series. The third is just as good as the first two in my opinion. We start the film with Captain Jack being trapped in Davey Jones Locker but a crew of friends set out to free him, the team is lead by Barbossa who has been brought back from the dead by Calypso. Will Turner is also along on this trip as he has his own agenda, he wishes to take hold ...

After loving the first Pirates film I just had to watch the second! The second in the series is called Dead Man's Chest and again it stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The film starts with Elizabeth and Will trying to get married but before this happens Will is arrested and so is Elizabeth. They are sentenced to death for helping pirates. Will manages to evade the death penalty by agreeing to help capture Jack and return a compass ...
...of Davey and the other pirates who were part of his crew were all very good and sometimes they were quite scary. I did jump more than once when they would suddenly appear from walls and unusual places. I liked the way they had body parts turned into sea creatures from being under the sea for so long, this was a great way of portraying their punishment. The effects in the film were all very good and very believable. My Mom watched this film several ...
