Good Movies / Project Hail Mary (2026)
Last post by WingedSerpent - Today at 07:30:23 PMWhen the sun begins to dim, school teacher Ryland Grace is for reasons asked to help save it. He ends up on a star ship heading towards a distant star, and if you've seen the marketing, you know that he meets something out there.
First off, I didn't know this was an Amazon produced film when i saw it Friday night. Considering the only other Amazon film I know of is that War of the Worlds remake that has been absouletly destroyed by critics and audiences, It does look like they took the message and put some effort into this one.
Over all I really liked this film. Interesting premises, but the idea of a non- astronaut having to survive in space in one I have seen.
Visually, there are some nice looking moments and the score was one I really liked.
What I didn't like was some of the dialog. I don't know much of the author's work (this is based on a book), but there were too many moments of This sounds more like how a teenager would talk as compared to an adult. Also one character I think they were going for quirky but was just annoying.
Not going to go into too much more, because that would be more spoilers.
Still, I'd recommend it.

Press Releases and Film News / Re: RIP Chuck Norris.
Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 06:10:02 PMChuck's movies were staples on local and cable TV back in the 80s and 90s. I saw the "Missing in Action" flicks and "Invasion USA" (a personal fave) countless times.
His work for Cannon Films is legendary, of course, but his best movie overall is probably the non-Cannon "Code Of Silence," which was originally intended for Clint Eastwood, who passed on it. Chuck probably should've made more movies like that and less schlock like "Hero and the Terror" or "Top Dog."
R.I.P. Chuck. Thanks for all the fun flicks.

Chuck Norris had a great year in 1985. In addition to saving America in "Invasion USA," he also starred in this cool, gritty, down-to-earth cop thriller as Eddie Cusack, a straight arrow Chicago detective who gets caught in the middle of a war between two rival Mob families, while also dealing with a cover-up within his own department.
This movie was originally pitched as a potential "Dirty Harry" sequel, but when Clint passed on it, it fell into Chuck's lap. Apparently this was one of his favorite films, because it gave him a chance to stretch as an actor instead of playing yet another mindless butt kicker (though he gets to do plenty of that, too!)
Directed by Andrew Davis, who would go on to do "Under Siege" with Steven Seagal and "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford. Quality stuff, well worth revisiting.

Last post by Trevor - Today at 01:40:50 PMQuote from: RCMerchant on Today at 12:41:32 PMThis is where I saw most films in the 70's- in Paw Paw. Mich. It looks almost EXACTLY the same. (likely the same paint).
It's been there since 1926.
Paw Paw has the only theater within 30 miles around here, so that's where we went. Good memories.
WIILLARD (1971) was the first film I saw there.
Nice 😊👍🐢
