Judgement Time for Dredd 3D

So yes, I nearly forgot about this post, but here I am typing it away.

 I love Judge Dredd, and I think it comes from the fact my dad collects comics and at one point he had a few figurines of Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson, so I was so very happy when she appeared in this film. If people don't know what the plot of Dredd 3D is, let me enlighten you.
 There's a drug going around called Slo-mo, where the taker experiences time going by reallllllyyy slowly. So basically, everything is in slow motion. Judge Dredd, our hero, is assigned to evaluate a rookie, Judge Anderson, who has psychic abilities. First job of the day and they take on a triple murder case at a 200 storey apartment block, which is controlled by drug-lord Ma-Ma.
 Can you guess what she sells?
 Slo-mo?
Don't be silly..yeah it's Slo-mo.
 Who knew?
 So floor by floor, they have to rise to the top to take down Ma-Ma and her huge clan of badasses.

 Think The Raid: Redemption" with more futuristic elements.
 I was looking forward to this film anyway, because I love Karl Urban and I loved Lena Headey in Game of thrones.
 Now in my previous post, I might have mentioned that a jawline has never been so sexy. True to the comic books, Dredd never takes off his helmet. And his face is in a constant frown. Not that you can see it but it's basically like :( which doesn't even begin to start at how moody he is.
 Full of actions, drugs, violence and mentions of prostitution, Dredd is definitely not one for the kids, in every scene at least one person dies and it's never in a pretty way. Either way, I'd highly recommend it even if you don't know anything about the comics,just because it's a bloody kick-ass film.
 I kinda zipped past Dredd a little bit, mainly because I want to talk about the new Star Trek coming out. I'm kinda linking it in with Karl Urban.
 So yeah, Star Trek into Darkness, JJ Abrams is directing again, which I'm happy about, I don't think it would have quite been the same without him.
All the old cast is back with the exclusion of Eric Bana but the magically inclusion of a Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch, who is playing the villain. We still don't know exactly who he's playing but there have been pictures of him wearing a torn star ship uniform and also resisting the legendary Vulcan Death Grip *gasp* 
It's due out on the 17th of May 2013, and has anyone seen the budget?! $185 Million! then again, I bet they need it for all of those Lens Flares.
 It'll also be a good opportunity to update my Star Trek poster :D
 Someone I also love in this film is Anton Yelchin, (Fright Night, Charlie Bartlett, The Beaver) and once again he's playing Pavel Chekov, I must say he's one of my favourite characters in the Original series too, but in this he's just plain adorable.
 So altogether I'm looking forward to the cast getting together, the 17th of May and Anton Yelchin.. And Karl Urban.. And Chris Pine... And Star Trek in general.
