       The last time we talked about Dredd was back in 2012

       />Yep. It literally took my Library 5 f*cking years to finally g
       et
       a copy of the movie into rotation at my Branch. WTF! In the
       years of waiting for a copy, I would check out the Library
       system a couple of times a year just to see what the hold up
       was. Well, to my astonishment, it finally arrived a couple of
       weeks back as I immediately put in my request on the Hold List.
       It arrived today and now I can finally get on with doing a
       review for this one! 'Bout f*cking time! So, was it worth the
       wait? Hmmm. Yes and no. I think my exposure to the campy
       Stallone version of Judge Dredd pretty much set me up into
       thinking that Dredd would follow suit and be more of the same,
       especially the futuristic sci-fi aspect the universe it in
       habits. Dredd couldn't be any further off the well-worn path.
       This one reminded me a lot of Escape from New York with a good
       dosage of Assault on Precinct 13.
       The thing I wasn't expecting (besides how scaled down the
       environment was) was the partner being some psychic chick who
       reminded me a lot of the PreCogs from Minority Report. I don't
       remember this being in the Stallone version or if this was ever
       in the comics and just a new character all together. Anyway, the
       movie isn't without its faults, but there was enough there on
       the screen to keep me engaged and entertained from start to
       finish. Some really cool 'bullet time' slow motion shots to
       impress even the most jaded people with regards to FX. Also, I
       had no idea, or I just forgot, that Lena Headey was in this.
       Definitely worth checking out. It's a decent flick and I'd
       probably watch it again if I came across it while channel
       surfing.

       Yup. This wasn't the only movie that has been stuck in
       non-rotation hell. There are a handful of flicks that I've been
       waiting for years to get into circulation and suddenly, here
       they are. Another one that was finally released along with Dredd
       at the same time was Kick-Ass 2

       />which I had to wait 4 years to make its way to my Library.
