  RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  An absolute joy. Fascinating insight from ALL of the people closest to the film.

  GO ROBO 👍

The reflections, shadows, smoke and rain were the most impressive I’ve ever seen in an animated project. Seeing those neon lights reflecting off the rain-soaked streets of dystopian…

  Ghostbusters 1984

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 07 Sep 2020

  Just goes to show how far a fun, original story can be stretched. I’m grateful for the way Ghostbusters looks and sounds and feels and I think it’s a perfect encapsulation of an 80’s movie. That being said, if this comes out 10 years later there’s no way it has the same cultural impact. It is incredibly of it’s time and while it holds up today, it obviously doesn’t hold up in the same way that a beloved Hitchcock film, for…
