A WORD FROM THE O-BOY

I saw JUDGE DREDD and it didn't suck. No, really, it was about how in the Third Millennium people realized police couldn't do crap so they got ripped brain-stems and made them judge, jury, and executioner. So they train this one dude who worships the law and blows away baddies and announces, "I yam da laaaaaaaaaaawwwww!" People get peeved at his "law" and he has to take course in ethics then is suspected of killing the head of the judges, is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

In the ship taking him to prison he meets someone he sentenced and Christian rednecks blow up all but one portion of ship and capture Dredd and his little friend. The friend claims he's a believer, and it turns out the rednecks are cannibals. Dredd kills all but the stupid, ugly cyborg who kills the Chief Justice who tells Dredd he was a experiment and had a evil brother who killed the head. Dredd-2 makes a zillion clones who are mysteriously sucked out of the plot. Dredd beats the crap outta Dredd-2. Dredd is assigned to head (headredd, har, har.) refuses, kisses lawyer, movie credits. R for violence, 8 for cliches (2 cliches within movie.)
