video review : RoboCop

RoboCop is a Detroit police officer that’s part man and part machine. His advantages on the force include superhuman strength; he can bend the barrel of a gun with his hand; and precise computer-aided calculations. This thoroughly entertaining sci-fi action flick also reveals some Frankenstein-like psychological drama as “deceased” cyborg Alex Murphy comes to terms with his new identity.

video review : The Score

Perhaps it should be The Heist. It’s a score, but only for the men involved. It’s a big one too, worth 30 million dollars. All lead thief Nick Wells has to do is make it to the basement of the Montréal Customs House, break into the safe and get away with a valuable French scepter while partner and House janitor Jack Teller manipulates surveillance cameras from the inside.

It’s not quite as easy as it seems. It never really is. That’s where layers of criminal-siding tension begin to build. Some of the characterization is overplayed; a computer hacker named Steven is particularly silly; and the romantic side story is unnecessary, but the plot, which mostly consists of compelling planning until the final third, provides a nice pay-off at the end.

a dream I had about my boss Heather sitting on my face

I wasn’t even clocked-in at the time. I was either off for the day or off for the rest of the day, but there I was, at the job for some reason or another. Perhaps I lived nearby and was just there to get my paycheck. In any case, I was laying on the floor, on my back, in what could’ve been an exaggerated display of tiredness or boredom, when Heather, my boss in the dream and former boss in real life, walked over to me and sat on my face.

She did it as a joke and it worked because the people around us, co-workers and a friend I was with, erupted in laughter as I wiggled about, pretending to be stuck. It was a funny and pleasing experience in that I enjoyed having her pussy and ass so close to my face with only work slacks and panties between us. “I heard of people having their heads stuck up their bosses ass, but goddamn,” I said, which brought on more laughter.
