05/16/2008 | Visionary and highly influential depiction of a dystopian future that nicely builds on the themes of the book by Phillip K. Dick. Before this film, all futurism had a look of a society that was completely cleansed of the past and entirely efficient and sterile. Scott's Blade Runner lives in a future that is struggling with the uncertainty of the future and the burdens of the past and brilliantly uses the language of Film Noire to convey the rotten-ness at the core of this struggle. And the shoot 'em up bang bang stuff is really ultra cool too.

07/12/2007 | Ridley Scott has had hits and misses- but don't miss this gritty and underrated film from the 80's. . .dark, memorable, and raises terrific questions about what it means to be human. . .
