Super Freak
Oculus - 6.5/10
Decent enough but it all felt a little teeny to me with no real sense of dread.

Robocop new version: 6.7ish/10
Surprisingly good! Very different from the original in tone and intention. This film doesn't have much of a subversive political statement underlying the film (the one that is there is pretty explicit and in your face), and in that sense, it doesn't have the same artistic value IMO. But as an straightforward action drama it works very well. I thought Murphy/Robocop guy, Oldman, Keaton, Rorschach guy, and of course, Omar from the Wire were all extremely good in their roles. These characters felt fairly believable with logical progressions over the course of the film, apart from Keaton's last scene, when his character became a bit of a caricature for the purpose of allowing us a satisfying resolution.
Dredd 7.5/10 plays it too safe, lacked dark humor, but lots of style and lots of Judge Dredd, I want the sequel damnit!
I gotta watch that someday. Still can't get the Stallone version out of my head. Does the reboot has The LaaaaaaaaaaaaaWww?
Stallone was The LOL.
Urban is THE LAW!
Son of Batman: 6.5/10
Pretty good. One of the lesser DC animated films though IMO, following the trend of the Nu-52 JL movie. Kind of a weird portrayal of Deathstroke. Doesn't seem like he had his enhanced powers here.
Silence of the Lambs - 10/10
Boy, does this one ever hold up. One of the best thrillers ever made. I'd forgotten just how chilling Hopkin's performance as Hannibal was in this film compared to his campier turn in Red Dragon.
