Dredd (2012)
Dreddhas a noticeably smaller budget than the 1995Judge Dreddmovie starringaction movie star Sylvester Stalloneas the ikon of British comic Book . But whatDreddlacks in particular issue , it more than makes up for with its action . This is a picture show that play like the Indonesian legal action filmThe Raid , but with Judge Dredd ( Karl Urban ) as the primary character . Cassandra Anderson ( Olivia Thirlby ) is n’t some cub judge in the cartoon strip , but that modification forge well for the movie as it gives her an apology to be with Dredd in this chronicle as he serve as a breeding policeman for her .

Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Few would indicate thatGalaxy of Terroris a great movie , or even a honorable one . But this Roger Corman - produced , lowly - budget sci - fi flick is a risky movie that ’s still gratifying to see . There are even some familiar boldness in the cast , includingHappy Days ‘ Erin Moran , A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Robert Englund , My Favorite Martian‘s Ray Walston , and indie horror icon Sid Haig . This is also one of the films that gave James Cameron his starting as a special personal effects artist before he started target movies on his own .
The plot is nonsensical and follows the gang of a starship called The Quest , which arrives at a remote world to deliver any survivors from a previous trip . tardily , the bunch realizes that the planet is bring their great awe to life and murdering them one by one . SinceCorman recently passed away , this is worth a look back at one of his most fertile eras as a producer . It has almost everything we ’ve add up to carry from a Corman movie .
