November 18, 2023

Superman Lives and its varied production issues before being shut down are (and were) a movie unto themselves, but it just gets more and more insane the closer you look at it.

Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop is a masterpiece of not just an action sci-fi film, but a satiric take on law enforcement and standards for justice in America.
