DVD Review: Robot Jox
Okay, it didn’t do all that well at the box office. In fact, when “Robot Jox”, their largest project, flopped in theaters, Empire Pictures went under as well. The acting is a little over done, and stereotypes are used (character Tex Conway has a Southern accent, wears a ten gallon hat, and is a redneck racist) and the lead tech expert/designer is Japanese, but this could have been something great if they’d done it right. Writer/Director Stuart Gordon has had movies that did good and bad, so this is no big exception for him either way...

That's not really true... The format for the movie's "bio" here is limited at this point because of how Joshua set it up initially. I've been going over details with him for the last few days, and we're planning on reformating how it looks. In the review I initially submitted, Joe Haldeman's name was credited as the screenwriter. But for now, this is all that'll appear.
I'm gonna have to forward that page to a few people, though.
