Theatrical Trailer

Flamboyant Atlantic City police detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) has come to watch the fight and cash in on the hectic betting action. Suddenly, gunfire cuts down a ringside government official, and 14,000 fans become 14,000 suspects. What eyewitnesses saw, what a casino-wide spycam network reveals and what a mysterious woman in white (Carla Gugino, Sin City) knows—all lead to a shattering truth Santoro does not want to believe.

Pre-order Snake Eyes.

I like this thing TV shows did in the 70s where yeah, racial issues were regularly brought up and talked about (as they should be), but there was also a big push to just show people actively being on each other's side regardless. They still referred to it as "being colorblind", but it wasn't used in the ignorant "I don't see color" kind of way that you hear today. It was more like an acknowledgement that they came from different places, and the society they lived in told them they were enemies and/or couldn't get along or whatever, but they decided instead to actively say, nah fuck that, we're homies.

Even if it's never that simple, or if it sounds trite, it's still just nice to see a world where people just acknowledge it and work for a better future, y'know?

Runaway (1984)

You'll have loads of find watching Death Bed The Bed That Eats, The Room, Troll 2 or other “so bad they’re good” classics. What they won't necessarily have is that element of true surprise. You already know they're so bad they're good. I went into Runaway with no idea of what I was about to see. In no time, I was on the floor howling.

In the near future, robots are everywhere. Whenever one malfunctions (or becomes a “runaway”), Sgt. Jack R. Ramsay (Tom Selleck) deals with it. Karen (Cynthia Rhodes), but he assures the perky officer their job’s nothing glamorous. He only took the position to avoid  field work after his crippling fear of heights resulted in a family’s death. He rethinks how exciting the job might be when they investigate the first robot homicide in history.

The first and most obvious flaw with this film are the robots. In its attempt to make them realistic, director Michael Crichton (you read that right) has made them laughable. At no point do you ever believe a single one of them could be a viable threat. Ramsay cautiously walks into a home, careful not to step in the pools of blood left behind by the first killer robot. When you see the thing, your jaw drops. It’s essentially a shoebox on wheels with a single arm on the front. Not a humanoid arm capable of moving from side-to-side mind you, a single-hinged limb with a simple claw for a hand. I have a hard enough time believing the thing could move over a carpeted area, much less sneak up on two people and slice them to death. Now we’re supposed to believe the thing’s gotten even deadlier and picked up a gun? Please. Tom Selleck does his best to seem scared and the other actors try their hardest but in every scene you want to scream “just push the damn thing over on its side and run!”

If you’re not in stitches at the cheap-looking droids featured throughout, you’ll be delighted to see Jean Simmons playing the film’s villain. I know it’s supposed to be a twist but come on. From scene 1, you’d be comfortable sending the guy to the chair without any evidence. He’s the most suspicious-looking dude ever even before her glares and menaces those around him. Simmons doesn’t help. He hams it up like he’s single-handedly trying to drown ever vegetarian on Earth in meat. He’s beyond awful, which I guess perfectly matches how threatening his character and his shoddy-looking robots are? Maybe this was meant to be a comedy and simply mislabeled in the marketing department.

The laughs come non-stop when watching Runaway. If you aren’t the type of person who likes to talk back at the screen when watching a bad movie, you will be just a few minutes in. There’s no way you can help yourself. It’s a hidden bad movie gem. (On DVD, June 21, 2019)
