I was just watching Robocop on HuLu, and thought about this Dutch Directors contribution to Sci-Fi...His Trifecta, Holy Trinity of gritty Sci-Fi...Robocop-Great, Raw, and even Sentimental take on the whole Cyberpunk Movement and what it means to be Human, Total Recall-Intense, Mind-Bending, take on Introspection and Identity, and Finally Starship Troopers- Kick Ass, Neo-Socialist take on Militant Patriotism, with some nice visuals on the side...and all of them great Social Commentaries on the Human Condition at large. Now if I could just find Black Book on DVD somewhere(It's not Sci-Fi) but I also love that Genre, Ive Heard it's great. I truly hold him up there with all the great Directors of our Time.

I rented Black Book from netflix. It is awesome. It is also available in the "watch instantly" section.

When I was in College I used Robocop as one of my many thesis paper topics. I have a degree in Film Theorhetic.
Robocop was used for the a paper on "Dystopian Future Worlds and Their Social Commentary." As was Blade Runner for a similar paper. |

Starship Troopers has great media commentary too. "would you like to know more?" Verhoeven loves to screw with the media subtexts, and use tongue in cheek stuff. |

Love his work and to get off topic one sec.......I wonder when reality shows will go "The Running Man" Route and have lifers fighting for their lives on TV?
Not saying I support it, but with Hollywood's way of buying ideas instead of making its own.....this would it seems be on their "To do list".... |
