Couple of trailers of movies I'm looking forward to. Hardly a review, but still...

Looks interesting

Robocop
Robocop 2
Robocop 3
Robocop (2014)- What beautiful examples of 1980s/1990s movies
- What beautiful examples of a "franchise" devolving into a parody of itself
- Some fucking BEAUTIFUL racism... absolutely ZERO understanding of the difference between Chinese and Japanese cultures in Robocop 3.
- What a beautiful example of a franchise-reboot that I'd completely forgotten even existed... despite starring Samuel L fucking Jackson, Michael goddamn Keaton, the guy from For All Mankind, Omar, and Gary freakin' Oldman
Also beautiful examples of:
- 1980s/1990s - do NOT fuck around. The jacket says "Robocop". There is VERY little time until there is a Robocop. And Robocop does Robocop shit.
- 2014 - nearly 30 minutes in, we finally see what we always knew what was going to happen - Murphy getting seriously hurt, and a freakin' Robocop.
-
- but eventually... little throwbacks to the original
-
- and PC gone mad! The black male cop captain becomes a black female! The white female partner becomes a black male! Agendas! Agendas everywhere!
Robocop!

I loved that the Giant robot in Robocop 2 was a drug addict who crushed his exes skull when he realised he didn’t have a cock anymore.

I loved how they absolutely dove into the idea of a kid being a "baddie" - and taking advantage of it.
The mad scientist chick was pretty hot too, definite MILF qualities.
Robocop 1 and 2 still hold up despite the horrific “this is what the future will look like from our 80s perspective” but I remember 3 being absolute shit…..didn’t he get chopped up by some robotic ninjas ?

Barbie
Sure, there's underlying sex politics (what women can achieve, gender roles, etc.) but it's still a good watch. Margo Robbie dressed as Barbie.
Only bad bit is you don't get to see Barbie's tits now that she's made it.

Robotic ninjas, and flying Robocop. It sounds like it should be awesome, but...

Robocop 2 was WAY better than Robocop 1. There I said it.
Much more satirical, better action ( That Robocain was awesome, Cain was a cool baddie too ) and I mentioned the scientist.
Honourable mention to whatshisnames Dad from that 70s show though to be fair. He played the part well.

Steve Kloves wrote and directed The Fabulous Baker Boys, which was brilliant movie with huge chemistry between the cast, and his first. He followed that up with Flesh and Bone, and never directed another movie.
After 70 minutes, boy is Flesh and Bone booooooooring. What a fucking dud.
He also wrote Wonder Boys, which I remember being excellent, and had big commercial success with children's movies.

The Delta Force (1986) - starring Chuck Norris
- Everything you need to know is in above line
-- It's called "The Delta Force"
-- It was released in 1986
-- It's got Chuck Norris in it
If you can't figure out what this movie is, from those three facts, you don't deserve to watch Chuck Norris riding a motorcycle firing rockets from both front and rear.
