“All I think is, I do not want to go down with Cameron Diaz. It’s like me going down myself that’s fine, with Cameron Diaz on the bike there is no way I’m going down.”
It still blows my mind that Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz actually rode that motorcycle.

Last Action Hero is perfect
30 years ago today, LAST ACTION HERO was released in theaters. For me, it remains an underrated gem that was wonderfully meta and ahead of its time but had the misfortune of being released a week after Jurassic Park. Justice for Jack Slater.

Celebrate the late Bill Paxton’s birthday by watching his first directorial effort Frailty. Often overlooked and under appreciated, this southern gothic horror also stars Paxton, Matthew McConaughey and Powers Boothe who all turn in phenomenal performances. Highly recommended!
On his birthday, we'd like to remember Bill Paxton, known by genre fans for his incredible work in films like ALIENS, NEAR DARK, PREDATOR 2, FRAILTY, THE TERMINATOR, and so much more.

“You get the sense that people who make Hollywood movies have never had sex. And I’m not sure how that could be true but it seems to be.”
Ridley Scott and Cormac McCarthy were years ahead of the sex scene discourse.
“And I just got up one morning and I was having some coffee and walking around and I thought, ‘I need to take a break from this. Let me do something else.’ So I sat down and wrote a screenplay.”

It truly is fantastic stunt work and coordination from Vic Armstrong. To think if Spielberg wasn’t directing The Last Crusade there might not have been a tank sequence at all and then we wouldn’t have gotten any of this or Harrison Ford doing some of his own amazing stunt work.

If you’ve put off seeing Unstoppable for some reason today is the perfect day to remedy that and watch this masterclass in lean, mean action-thriller filmmaking.
UNSTOPPABLE is probably my favorite of his films, his final film before he passed away, it is 98 minutes of some of the most thrilling action you will ever see. Denzel and Pine play off each other so well. Impeccable filmmaking
