Sunday afternoons in our house were classic movie sessions from my dad's VHS (later, DVD) collection. He said it was his responsibility to show us kids the classics we might otherwise miss. Now I've got most of them in 1080p or better on 20TB of NAS :_:-):_:-):_:-)

Sahara - adventures in the desert 2005


Image error

Sahara Adventures is a 2005 American adventure film based on the novel Operation Sahara by American author Clive Cussler.

An unknown plague is spreading in West Africa. But the authorities are not allowed to investigate the causes in Mali – where the origin of the disease is suspected. Out of necessity, WHO doctors Eva Rojas and Frank Hopper contact the two NUMA adventurers Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino. They want to search for the mysterious battleship CSS Texas of the Confederate States from the Civil War, which is said to be stranded in Africa, and take the doctors up the Niger with them.

But Dirk and Al repeatedly come into conflict with enemy soldiers of the feared Malian warlord General Zateb Kazim. When the WHO doctors also got caught in a military ambush and Dr. Hopper is killed, the remaining trio suspect a conspiracy is afoot. In fact, Kazim makes a secret deal with the French industrialist Yves Massarde, who dumps tons of toxic waste in a solar waste incinerator. This seeps into an underground tributary of the Niger, thereby contaminating the groundwater.

Meanwhile, Dirk and Al's allies, Admiral Sandecker and Rudi Gunn, find out that the toxins introduced by Massarde are causing a growth of red algae which, if released into the oceans, could soon endanger the world's climate.

Dirk, Al and Eva are able to enter the factory and prevent its destruction at the last second. In an action-packed showdown, they finally manage not only to locate the mysterious ironclad, but also to eliminate Kazim and overwhelm his army with the help of some friendly Tuareg tribes.

The threat of contamination can be eliminated, Massarde punished and a cargo of gold found on the ship brought to safety.

Trivia

The film was written by Diane Thomas.
Thomas was a struggling waitress and actress, and had been working odd jobs to make ends meet
when she wrote the script.

While there is some dispute over how it happened, eventually the script made its way to
actor Michael Douglas
who championed Thomas and helped get the movie made.
The script was so well-liked, she ended up getting numerous offers,
and at one point was even attached to help write one of the "Indiana Jones" sequels.

The Great Escape (1963)

Trivia

Mix in a vigorous ear worm of a score by Elmer Bernstein and the result is one of the most entertaining (and patriotic) blockbusters of all time.

Apparently, McQueen was a major pain in the ass during most of the production.
The late (and very much missed) James Garner’s superb autobiography informs us that McQueen was so unhappy with his character,
he brooded and complained and aggravated everyone with his moodiness and numerous production stalls.

In the end, though, he found his way, and the results are indisputable. McQueen’s “Cooler King,” a selfless loner,
is the heart and soul of the movie. The desperate motorcycle chase, which makes sure you can see that McQueen is the one driving
(he did everything but the failed jump), made him a legend.
This is an important lesson, a reminder that the anguish of creative tension is almost always worth it.

Trivia


Gregory Peck later said regarding Robert Mitchum, "I had given him the role and had paid him a terrific amount of money. It was obvious he had the better role. I thought he would understand that, but he apparently thought he acted me off the screen. I didn't think highly of him for that."

2001: A Space Odyssey 1968


Image error


Trivia


The movie was not a financial success at first. MGM was planning to pull it back from theaters, but several theater owners persuaded them to keep showing the film. Many owners noticed increasing numbers of young adults attending the film. They were especially enthusiastic about watching the "Star Gate" sequence under the influence of psychedelic drugs. This helped the film to become a financial success.

The Core 2003


Image error

The Core

The Core is a 2003 American science fiction disaster film directed by Jon Amiel and starring Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Delroy Lindo, Stanley Tucci, D. J. Qualls, Richard Jenkins, Tcheky Karyo, Bruce Greenwood, and Alfre Woodard.

The film focuses on a team whose mission is to drill to the center of the Earth and set off a series of nuclear explosions in order to restart the rotation of the Earth's core.

The film was released on March 28, 2003, by Paramount Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $74 million worldwide with a production budget of $85 million.

Plot

Several small, disparate incidents involving the Earth's magnetic field cause scientists led by geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes and scientists Dr. Serge Leveque and Dr. Conrad Zimsky to conclude that the Earth's molten core has stopped rotating. Unless it's restarted, the field will collapse within months, exposing the surface to devastating solar radiation.

The U.S. government backs a secret project to build a vessel to drill to the core and release nuclear weapons to restart the rotation. They utilize the work of Dr. Ed "Braz" Brazzelton who has developed "Unobtainium", a material that can withstand and convert extreme heat into electricity, as well as a laser-based high-speed drilling array.

NASA pilots Commander Robert Iverson and Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs are enlisted to pilot the multi-compartment vessel Virgil, while computer hacker Theodore Donald "Rat" Finch is brought on to both keep news of the pending disaster and their attempt to restart the core off the Internet.

Virgil is launched through the Marianas Trench and makes its way through the crust. While traversing the mantle, the team accidentally drills through a gigantic empty geode structure, damaging the lasers when it lands at its base. As they traverse outside the ship to free the vessel, the geode is flooded with magma, and Iverson is killed by a falling shard. The rest return in time as Virgil continues its descent.

Further down, passing through a field of enormous diamond formations, one of them breaches the last compartment housing the detonation timers for the nuclear charges. Leveque sacrifices himself to ensure the others have the charges and launch codes before the compartment is crushed.

The team reaches the molten core and realizes it is much less dense than previously thought, throwing off their calculations on restarting its motions. Communicating with the surface, overseer of the operation Lieutenant General Thomas Purcell, orders them to abandon the effort and return immediately as they plan to use a secondary protocol to restart the core. Finch is secretly communicating with the Virgil team and learns that this secondary protocol is the top-secret project DESTINI (Deep Earth Seismic Trigger INItiative).

Keyes discovers Zimsky was a lead scientist on DESTINI, a U.S. tectonic weapon that, when first tested, had stopped the core's rotation. Finch redirects power from DESTINI to prevent Purcell from reactivating it, as Keyes fears that could destroy the Earth instead of restarting the core. Meanwhile, destructive events, including a lightning storm in Rome and a burst of ultraviolet rays that destroys the Golden Gate Bridge, alert the world to the situation.

On Virgil, the remaining team plans to place an explosive in each of the remaining compartments, release them, and time their detonations in an exact sequence to trigger the core's rotation through constructive wave interference. Due to the faulty design of Virgil due to time constraints, Brazzelton sacrifices himself to engage the compartment detachment mechanism in the vessel's underbelly.

As they set the charges, Keyes and Zimsky realize that they need more explosive power than previously thought and in their race to adjust timings, Zimsky becomes trapped in a detached compartment. Keyes uses Virgil's nuclear power source to provide the additional energy for the final detonation. While it leaves the main compartment powerless and Keyes and Childs trapped, the other explosions successfully restart the core's rotation.

Keyes recalls that the unobtainium shell can convert heat and pressure to energy, and the two of them wire the shell directly to their systems in time to power the craft and ride the pressure wave out of the core and towards the surface through tectonic plates, eventually breaching into the ocean floor near Hawaii. Due to the much lower heat and pressure in this environment, Virgil no longer has sufficient power to establish communications. The government searches for them, and Finch, tracking nearby whale sound, realizes that the Virgil crew are using low-power ultrasound to draw whales nearby. Keyes and Childs are soon rescued.

In the aftermath, Finch uploads information about Virgil and its team and the classified information about DESTINI across the Internet, causing the world to revere the crew as heroes.

Reception

The Core garnered mixed reviews from critics. It has a 40% approval rating based on 157 reviews, with an average rating of 5.3/10, on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes; the site's consensus states, "A B-movie with its tongue planted firmly in cheek, The Core is so unintentionally (intentionally?) bad that it's a hoot."On Metacritic, another aggregation website, the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". In his review, Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four and said "I have such an unreasonable affection for this movie, indeed, that it is only by slapping myself alongside the head and drinking black coffee that I can restrain myself from recommending it."

The film grossed $31.1 million in United States theaters, and another $43.0 million overseas for a total worldwide gross of $74.1 millionagainst a production budget of $85 million.

Several reviews cited the numerous scientific inaccuracies in the film.Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times said, "The brazen silliness of The Core is becalming and inauthentic, like taking a bath in nondairy coffee creamer. The Earth core's inability to turn is mirrored in the cast's inability to give the picture any spin."[8] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times was a little more forgiving, saying, "If The Core finally has to be classified as a mess, it is an enjoyable one if you're in a throwback mood. After all, a film that comes up with a rare metal called unobtainium can't be dismissed out of hand."

In response to criticism of his screenplay's lack of scientific realism, screenwriter John Rogers responded that he tried to make the science accurate, but expended three years fighting "to get rid of the ... dinosaurs, magma-walks in 'space-suits', bullshit-sci-crap sources for the Earth's crisis, and a windshield for the ship Virgil."

On March 30, 2009, it was reported that Dustin Hoffman was leading a campaign to get more real science into science-fiction movies. Hoffman is on the advisory board of the Science & Entertainment Exchange, an initiative of the United States National Academy of Sciences, intended to foster collaborations between scientists and entertainment industry professionals in order to minimize inaccurate representations of science and technology such as those found in The Core.

In a poll of hundreds of scientists about bad science fiction films, The Core was voted the worst.

On February 21, 2010, The Guardian ran an article about American professor Sidney Perkowitz's proposals to curb bad science in science fiction movies. In the article, Perkowitz is said to have hated The Core. "If you violate [the coherent rules of science] you are in trouble. The chances are that the public will pick it up and that is what matters to Hollywood. The Core did not make money because people understood the science was so out to lunch," he added

*A little trivia... Martin Scorsese said he offered the role of Travis Bickle to Dustin Hoffman. According to Hoffman, he turned the role down because he "thought he (Scorsese) was crazy!" He has since regretted his decision.

*A little trivia... When Malcolm McDowell met Gene Kelly at a party several years later, the older star turned and walked away in disgust. Kelly was deeply upset about the way his signature from Singin' in the Rain had been portrayed in A Clockwork Orange.

*A little trivia... During filming, a Navajo child became seriously ill with pneumonia and needed urgent medical attention. John Wayne had his own airplane on location and had his pilot take the little girl to a hospital. For his deed, the Navajos named him "The Man With The Big Eagle".
