The RoboCop remake could bring Detroit's cyborg police brutality right to the tip of your nose in 3-D, according to hints from MGM chairperson Mary Parent. Why is this the most excellent awesomeness?

Do you have what it takes to be a citizen? Watch the new trailer for Starship Troopers: Marauder and find out. The second direct-to-DVD sequel to Paul Verhoeven's classic satire lays on the mockery pretty thick this time around. "Let's go crack a planet" is already my new catchphrase. You can also see the new-style "bombadier" bug, with its long eyestalk shooting white flames. More »
