Dredd: I AM THE LAW

• Today I was back in my hometown of Greenwood IN, and caught a showing of the movie Dredd. This is a remake of an older filmed named "Judge Dredd" which was based off of a comic book. I only had one word flying through my head this whole movie...that word would be "Badass". Was it a good film? That really depends on what you like to see in a movie. If you are trying to view this movie as an artist...your'e not going to find much. It's your stereotypical sci-fi meathead protaganist movie. The only times in the film I felt there was an "art form" were the drug sequences. This won't spoil anything, but in the movie, there is a drug called "Slo-Mo". The drug looks exactly like an inhaler, and when people inhale the chemicals, their brains are slowed down to only 1% of regular speed. This creates some fantastic, and sometimes beautiful images of water splashing with rainbow colors... Also slow-motion bullets piercing human flesh...with rainbow colors. Call it "stupid" but let me tell ya, you ever need 2 hours just to zone out and turn off your brain, Dredd get's the job done. That being said, I still found it entertaining, but people who hate voilence and gore should turn away. Zoning out for 2 hours to watch a bunch of explosions...that's not stupid...is it?
