The movie is based on a decades-spanning British comic series about a the hardcore lawman of desolate future America, Judge Joseph Dredd. I loved the movie because it was a no-holds-barred blood-and-guts, body-shaking, gorefest for the eyes. With beautiful and gritty cinematography and set-design as well as an intense on-rails story with a matching bodycount, the sheer production quality and heart that went into the script and rendition of the characters really connected with me.
Though I was on of the few to actually see this badass movie in theatres ('tis a shame, as it really is meant for the big screen), I've since convinced many of my friends to see it, and they've come back to me with universal satisfaction.
My favorite film of all time is a tougher question. I'm a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick, especially Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyseey, and A Clockwork Orange.
Dr. Strangelove, high-comedy and political commentary. 2001 is sci-fi and high-art filmmaking. A Clockwork Orange is somewhere in the middle, combining many of the best elements of both. It's punk, it's comedy, it's future-tale, and a little bit of socio-political commentary. It's also one of the best films of all time. Check it out.
