"RoboCop 2" (1990) is a heads and shoulders below a first RoboCop - the original is a great movie. This one on the other hand is way less interesting. It is not a bad movie, but fells flat in comparison with first one.

"RoboCop 2" is a very violent film, and not in a good way. First one while was bloody and goory, never was disgusting or showed graphical violence without reason. This one unfortunately does. It also features a sequence so dumb and so off that i was rolling my eyes during it when RoboCop gets "reprogrammed" and starts to act silly. The violence that is being done by children 10 years old boys and girls is nothing short but bad. Who was the target audience for this? It wasn't funny, that is for sure.

Overall, "RoboCop 2" has a mixed plot, mixed pacing and a lot of unnecessary violence coming from young children. It is not a bad film by any means, and i did enjoyed it over the years as a lesser sequel and mindless fun, but i encourage you to rewatch the original instead.

"Rio Bravo" (1954) is a very good western film starring legendary John Wayne. I first time saw it in 2025 and this film surprised me in a good way. At its running time 2 h 20 min this movie did not drag for a minute and i was involved into its story. The story here is simple yet good. Its not just about shoot-em- up type of story, this one involves some themes about alcoholism and more important what leads to it. But don't expect deep analysis of it nor character exploration - at the end of day this is a John Wayne western movie, and a really good one. Acting was good by everyone involved, while Wayne himself is basically playing same character he is always did. Cinematography was good as well directing.

Overall, "Rio Bravo" is a good old fashion western starring John Wayne - a one that they don't make anymore. Its old, but its really good and with newly remastered 4K UHD version i was surprised of how much good this film is. Recommended.

"Observation", 4th episode of "Alien : Earth" was the slowest one, but it gave us biggest character development episode yet. I like it very much were and how the story progresses, it is something to Alien franchise. Its fresh and pretty unique. They could have easily made another AVP: Requiem type of plot with series, letting some aliens loose on Earth but no - they went completely different and very interesting way.

Overall, Observation is a good episode - slow, but rewarding and meaningful.
