3 Stars Rogue City adds nothing new or good to the story and lore of Robocop. The narrative of the main questline is generic, and the less you think about it while playing the game, the better. What really dissapointed me was the lack of humor or any good comedic timing that endeared me to the first film. The main gameplay is combat, which mainly means you will be holding down the fire button, punching...

3.7 Stars A period piece with a very narrow narrative focus. It chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of one man. Quick fortune and Misfortune come readily to Barry Lyndon, who's character quickly goes from a naive young man to a life long gambling opportunist. A narrator which is present throughout the film will remark that Barry has changed after some portion of his life, but Barry rarely shows...
After seeing Dune: Part Two, I have little to add to Greg Johnson’s fantastic review.

2.8 Stars Killers of The Flower Moon is like many of Scorsese's previous long films, but every beat and rythem is more shallow and delayed. Robert De Niro's mastermind of a character is even labeled as a Jew for his actions by another character much like Casino. The first half of the film is painfully drawn out while the second half, which is far more interesting due characters having external conflict...

I'm surprised this got the green light from Hollywood. They portray neo nazis as sympathetic characters. The whole point of the movie is to sell you on prison reform and to show that we are all one bad day away. The messaging is almost too in your face so I debated giving it 4/5 stars but I was just too impressed. I think because it's a new movie and I assumed it would be yet another cartoon villain...
2.7 Stars 2 hour 30 minute investigative examination of a death by fall that pulls the viewer along the runtime with the possibility of foul play. Anatomy of a Fall has no style, save for a journalistic representation of events and facts. Every sequence is played out using the most dialog possibly, no brevity or variation to be found in any of the scenes. Its the type of film you could describe to...
They must have seen how popular the Street Fighter parody was in "City Hunter" which came out 6 months prior, and decided to make an entire movie out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIxETAx_61M "City Hunter" is less chaotic because of the bigger budget. But when "Future Cops" tries to have characters fly around like a video game it's sometimes hard to follow what the hell they're trying to...

3.3 Stars A Hong Kong made bootleg Street Fighter film that is completely detacted from any sort of source material. Future Cops goes its own way and in many different directions from the start. There are janky low budget animesque fights, slapstick humor in a highschool slice of life setting, and a music number. It takes liberties from not only Street Fighter, but Mario and Dragonball as well. Future...
3.3 Stars The Starship Troopers film is a pretty solid sci-fi action flick. The CGI has not aged the best and characters are a bit corny, but it pulls through with good casting and sudden impactful scenes. The film could have been far better if it mirrored the book closer. The lack of mechanized combat suits for the Mobile Infantry really disappointed me in the film version. Characters, especially...

3.4 Stars Pay to watch only if your seeing it in theaters. Like Dune Part 1, Part 2 is a solidly made film, thats only real flaws, in my opinion, are some bland casting choices, boring camera work in dialog sences, and maybe a few adaptation changes from the novel. I was surprised how much visual themes/effects This adaptation of Dune seemed to mirror of David Lynch's version.
Javier Bardem is the...
