Surrogates Unleashed

Directed by JOHNATHAN MOSTOW
Starring BRUCE WILLIS, RADHA MITCHELL, ROSAMUND PIKE, and VING RHAMES

Interesting premise but it could have been done better, but overall it's a good popcorn movie. If you like sci-fi then you'll appreciate this classic take on the "I Robot" genre. This is a world where everyone has a surrogate robot that they virtually inhabit from the comfort of their home. Their surrogate works for them, do their shopping, errands, all the while they sit at home and control it from their virtual world. Sign me up. That is until something goes wrong. Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchel play detectives investigation the murder of a surrogate and its host.

Patrick Swayze Will Be Missed


I remember some of my favorite 80's movies courtesy of Patrick Swayze--'Point Break,' 'Outsiders,' 'Red Dawn!' (Sans 'Dirty Dancing.' I hated that movie. Especially that "Baby" in the corner line). He really was a fantastic actor and totally underrated! He put a brave fight against pancreatic cancer and worked all the way up to the end. Godspeed and may God rest his soul.
