I, Robot, a review by RichTitle: I, Robot Runtime:110 Certificate:15 Year:2004 Genres:Science-Fiction, Suspense/Thriller, Action Plot:In 2035 A.D., robots are programmed to live in harmony with humans and are part of every day life. When a brilliant scientist at the U.S. Robotics Corporation is found dead, Chicago Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) is called in to investigate. Aided by robot psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), Detective Spooner uncovers the possibility that a robot may be the primary suspect in the case. But as Spooner gets closer to the truth, he gets caught up in a race for his life. With time running out, a deeper threat emerges that challenges the very existence of mankind. My Review: Well-known film, picked at random in company. There is plenty of corn in this movie, but if you can accept the tongue-in-cheek script the special effects, innovative ideas and fluid pace make this a very enjoyable viewing. This may not be as intense as Blade Runner or explore the humanisation of robots as much as AI, but it delivers thrills and action the whole way through, with some very memorable moments such as the 1000 (1001) robots in the warehouse, the tunnel scene, and for me the facial expressions of Sonny which are amazing. A blast with Smith in his element and Moynahan keeping good company, I expect everyone has like me seen this movie more than once - if you haven't you won't be disappointed. My Rating (From Riches Random Reviews on November 26th, 2009) Adventures of Zatoichi, a review by AntaresAdventures of Zatoichi (1964) 65/100 - When you crank out four films in a calendar year, you're bound to dial it in, in at least one of the offerings, and Adventures of ZatoichiTeal = Masterpiece Dark Green = Classic or someday will be Lime Green = A good, entertaining film Orange = Average Red = Cinemuck Brown = The color of crap, which this film is (From Antares' Short Summations on April 3rd, 2014) "Due South" marathon, a review by RickWitness I liked this episode. I liked seeing Fraser in prison, and how even there his manners and politeness helped in the end. I also thought the scene where Ray and Fraser were discussing the movie was pretty funny Ray "If it were a good movie it would be in color" Sound familiar Pete?
