Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
This would be a cool project for anyone to be a part of. I loved the original Robocop and actually bought the 'X Rated' Criterion edition of the movie with all the extra violence in it for $80 back in the day when DVD was still catching on.
I really wanted to see what Aronofsky would have done with this reboot, since he really wanted to do it. Oh well, I'm still excited to see Robocop make a return...I loved that movie and still watch it when it's on.
Beleive it or not my GF has never seen Robocop. Not once on TV not once on DVD, and not once during the many times i watched it on VHS lol. She somehow misses it everytime, and tells me constantly she has never seen it. Even her brother told her to watch it lol.
this is a "classic" in a way and touching it is iffy. Of course with todays technology it could be cool, but it still needs that goofy feel to it to be good.
i seems like people gave up on trying to do something different.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
