Clash Of The Titans (1981)
1981 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy

"Clash of the Titans raised me, to the point where I probably watched it in my old apartment 35 times. It was a constant. It was so advanced for its time. Harry Hamlin was in it; he went on to be in L.A. Law with Blair Underwood. And the Kraken… It was so good! I could watch it over and over. I think they tried to remake it, right? With Sam Worthington? The original Clash of the Titans, though, is just… I could watch that all the time."

"On the surface the Odyssey is a hero’s book about journey and adventure, but just beneath the main storyline rests a feminist arc of subtly navigating a man’s world without sacrificing your ideals. For me, Penelope, Odysseus’s faithful wife, is my favorite character. A skilled manipulator, Penelope cunningly evades unwanted suitors by claiming to knit or weave (depending on the translation you read) a funeral shroud for her elderly Father-in-Law. She pledges that upon completion of the shroud, she will remarry, but as a stall tactic she secretly undoes her work at night."

Dredd (2012)
Dredd (2012)
2012 | Action, Sci-Fi
I am the law!!
Forget the 1995 Sylvester Stallone film; this is how Dredd should be done.

This time around Karl Urban takes on the lead role of the eponymous Judge Dredd - even keeping his helmet on the entire way through - who gets trapped in a high rise building in Mega City One as he is assessing a Rookie with psychic abilities: a building in which Lena Headey's ruthless Ma-Ma is producing a new drug called Slo-Mo and in which she has members of her gang hunting Dredd and his Rookie.
