Chuck’s Top Ten Disaster Films of all time
With Roland Emmerich’s $260 million dollar disaster epic, 2012, crashing into theaters Friday, I thought I would take a look at my all time favorite disaster films, a genre I’m quite fond of.
CHUCK CURRY’S TOP TEN DISASTER FILMS
10. DANTES PEAK -1997, I really liked the chemistry between Pierce Bronson and Linda Hamilton. The solid direction by Roger Donaldson makes this volcanic eruption in Washington State an enjoyable affair.
9. CASSANDRA CROSSING – 1976, Cheesy but FUN story about a viral outbreak on a transcontinental train ride. I love Richard Harris as the films lead! It’s a pretty exciting film.
8. DEEP IMPACT- 1998, The second asteroid related film released that year. Tea Leoni leads a solid character driven film that has real emotional power in its last half hour!
7. TWISTER – 1996, Great tornado special effects, a nice pairing of Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt and a sensational score make this film a winner!
6. INDEPENDENCE DAY – 1996, My favorite alien invasion movie. Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman lead a great cast! A truly terrific popcorn film!
5. THE DAY AFTER – 1983, Perhaps the most important Television film ever made. 
Jason Robards brought tremendous class to this project about the after effects of a nuclear explosion in Lawrence, Kansas. In its time, a true TV event!
4. EARTHQUAKE – 1974, Storyline was pure soap opera, the SENSURROUND gimmick was really good, and how could you not love a disaster film with both Charlton Heston and George Kennedy as its stars! The special effects still hold up to this day!
3. TITANIC – 1997, I saw the film 7 times in a theater. Mixing two genres – love story and historical disaster, the film hit a nerve like few others in movie history. After this film’s immense success James Cameron was truly the king of the world.
2. TOWERING INFERNO – 1974, High Concept at its best. Irwin Allen was at the top of his game as he assembled two of the best actors of all time, Paul Newman and Steve McQueen, to head the cast. Robert Wagner’s character’s death sequence is one of the genres best. Nominated for best picture that year! Totally compelling!
1. THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE – 1972, Based on a gritty novel by Paul Gallico, Irwin Allen became the master of disaster with this terrific film about an ocean liner capsized on New Years Eve. Certainly a product of its time but, for me, the story still has tremendous power. From my side of the fence there’s never been a better character in a movie than Gene Hackman’s Rev Scott. My all time favorite film! Happy New Year!
THE WOLFMAN Trailer 2
Universal has released its second trailer to Joe Johnston’s long delayed remake of The Wolfman. The film, which hits theaters February 12, 2010, stars Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt. Take a LOOK
All time favorite ACTION movies!
Chuck Curry’s Top TEN action movies (Excluding comic book and disaster films)
10. SPEED- 1994, Keanu Reeves re-established himself as a guy who could play the action hero in the well-crafted film, directed with tremendous energy by Jon de Bont. The film’s story about a madman (Dennis Hopper) who plants a bomb on a city bus that will explode if it goes under 50 miles an hour is exciting throughout. Sandra Bullock became a star playing the character of Annie, a passenger who is forced to drive the bus. Her chemistry with Reeves is terrific.
9. THE ROAD WARRIOR- 1981, George Miller’s sequel to Mad Max (Mel Gibson) features the most astonishing stunt work ever put on film. This post apocalyptic story, which plays out like a wild over the top road movie, is both visionary and truly unique!
8. TERMINATOR 2 JUDGEMENT DAY- 1991, Truly groundbreaking in its visual effects, this James Cameron sequel was a muscular piece of action filmmaking that saw Arnold Schwarzenegger return as the good Cyborg whose mission is to protect John Conner (Edward Furlong). Linda Hamilton also returned as a pumped up Sarah Conner and unknown actor at the time, Robert Patrick, was terrific as the movies Nemesis, the shape shifting cyborg bent on destroying what Arnold must protect. It really changed the way action movies are made!
7. JURASSIC PARK- 1993, One of the truly great movie-going experiences of my life. I saw this film twice the day it opened at the famed Ziegfeld movie theater in NYC and still remember the crowd of 1300 people roaring with applause 
throughout. Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough and Laura Dern were all well cast and the CGI was as good as it gets. I love Neil’s line: “But that’s NOT what I’m gonna do”! You really believed dinosaurs were alive! Perhaps Spielberg’s last great popcorn movie!
6. THE ROCK- 1996, Anyone who says Michael Bay hasn’t made a great film hasn’t seen The Rock, an adrenaline fueled movie loaded with great action and characters. Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery make for a great screen team. Their chemistry is terrific in this story about terrorists who take over Alcatraz prison and threaten to launch a nuclear warhead. Ed Harris makes for a really interesting villain as his ex-military character is extremely complicated. I wish Cage would return to reprise his role of Stanley Goodspeed in a sequel! Connery is just terrific! 
5. DEATH WISH 3- 1985, a total guilty pleasure. The third go-round by Charles Bronson as Architect/ Vigilante Paul Kersey is so over the top that it plays like a cartoon, but as a pumped up revenge B-film the movie is an absolute BLAST. Bronson was 63 years old when he did the film but still looked great. The film’s last 30 minutes when Bronson goes on a one man killing spree, mowing down dozens of gang members in a run down neighborhood in Brooklyn NY, has to be seen to be believed. This film has developed a strong cult following over the years. Trailer
4. RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2- 1985, Stallone took the character of Rambo from the film, First Blood, and turned him into a full blown action hero that was bigger than life, putting him close to comic book territory. The story, which was co-
written by James Cameron, hit a nerve with audiences as its hope of rescuing POW’s from Vietnam equated into great escapism that was really inspirational. The second biggest hit that year behind Back to the Future!
3. TOTAL RECALL- 1990, The first half of this film is perhaps the quickest paced film this genre has ever seen. Arnold Schwarzenegger has never been more likeable on screen playing Doug Quaid, a man of the future who may or may not have had a memory implantation. Paul Verhoven directs the film with an intensity that rarely lets up and his violent style is evident throughout. Michael Ironside (the poor man’s Jack Nicholson) is fun hamming it up as one of the villains who continually chases Arnold throughout the fast moving movie. Arnold’s “Consider that a divorce” line is classic! In an interesting footnote, both Patrick Swayze and Richard Dreyfuss were considered for the film’s lead.
2. ALIENS- 1986, James Cameron took Ridley Scott’s horror film and re-invented the concept into one of the greatest pure action films ever made. Sigourney Weaver’s, Ellen Ripley, became the greatest female action hero in the history of movies. Her character’s relationship with the little girl, Newt (Carrie Henn), is the film’s heart, and it elevated the story into something quite powerful. Director Cameron upped the anti with multiple endings that kept topping one another, creating one of the most pulse pounding conclusions ever put on screen. The effects by Stan Winston were top notch, and Bill Paxton is a blast as the film’s comic relief! Truly a great film!
1. DIE HARD- 1988, A textbook example of a perfect action adventure film as the movie works on every level. In an era where action hero’s were mostly invincible, Bruce Willis’ John McClain showed a vulnerability that movie going audiences could relate to, giving us a real rooting interest. Based on a novel titled “Nothing Lasts Forever”, the story has a great concept: a NYC cop comes to LA to visit his estranged wife
(Bonnie Bedelia) on Christmas Eve and gets trapped in a high rise office building (filmed at the Fox Plaza in LA) that has been taken over by terrorists. Willis, who was mostly known as the star of the ABC hit TV show, Moonlighting, proved to be a great hero and Alan Rickman was equally good as the film’s villain, Hans Gruber. Great story, great direction, great characters and pulse pounding action (the film’s highlight has Willis’ McClain jumping off the roof of the building with a fire hose tied around his waist) make Die Hard my all time favorite action film. An incredible crowd pleaser! I saw this ten times in a theater!
Whip It Review
Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It isn’t compelling or engaging enough to call it a successful drama and it’s just not funny enough to be labeled a winning comedy. I’ll call it a watchable time killer that misfires more than it hits. Despite the fact that its star Ellen Page (Juno) continues to be a winning big screen talent, the film never takes off and it’s somewhat uneven tone and underwritten characters left me disappointed. I hate to say this because I really wanted to love this movie.
The story is adapted from a semi-autobiographical novel titled Derby Girl by Shauna Cross. She also penned the screenplay which tells the story of Page’s character, Bliss Cavender. Bliss is a 17-year-old small town waitress who decides to add some excitement to her ho –hum life by ditching the pageant scene her domineering mother (Marcia Gay Harden) has indoctrinated her into to try out for a roller derby circuit. She eventually becomes one of the Hurl Scouts using an alter ego named Babe Ruthless who becomes a mighty mite on skates.
At the end of the day Whip It is about a girl who’s rebelling a against her parents while doing something daring in order to find a deeper meaning in her existence. I loved the device of using the intriguing world of Roller Derby as a launching ground for this story and thought it had unlimited possibilities. Unfortunately, almost all of the potentially interesting characters in this subculture are never fleshed out and are so underwritten they barely register at all. The actual skating scenes also disappoint. They just aren’t overly exciting or funny enough.
A few of the derby girl characters that we meet include Smashley Simpson (Drew Barrymore), Rosa Spark (Eve) and Maggie Mayhem (Kristen Wiig). There’s also the standard rah rah coach, Razor (Andrew Wilson) 
and an annoying announcer (Jimmy Fallon) who narrates the matches. While Fallon is good for a laugh or two he actually gets too much screen time so the joke wears thin. Page’s character, Babe, also picks up a nasty rival (Juliette Lewis) who’s more than twice her age, and an indie rock star boyfriend, Oliver (Landon Pigg) who may or may not cheat on her when he goes off on tour. An extended sequence where the two share a kiss underwater at a school pool is quite interesting but director Barrymore’s choice to show Page strip down to her underwear was somewhat off-putting. Page still looks like a very young teen despite actually being 22-years-old doesn’t exactly radiate sexuality.
The film also introduces us to a pair of women referred to as the Manson sisters, an obvious riff on the Hanson brothers of Slapshot fame but they have nothing to do, don’t speak and are one of the movies most wasted opportunities. Zoe Bell (Death Proof) is completely wasted as a tough girl from New Zealand with virtually no screen time and singer Eve doesn’t fair much better. This really speaks volumes about the sloppiness of the script.
One person who does impact the movie is Daniel Stern (Home Alone) who shines in his scenes as Page’s laid back, loving father. The dialogue between the two is authentic and at times quite moving. This is a part of the film that really does work and I wished his character played an even bigger part in the finished product, but maybe that’s just because so much else doesn’t work.
Overall Whip It remains watchable for Page who holds the screen with the best of them. Barrymore also interjects some heart in the last act which left me feeling good in its closing moments. I only wish more time was used to flesh out the supporting characters in the crazy roller derby world which really could have made this a memorable movie. 2.5 zombies out of 5
DEXTER kills in ratings for Season 4 premiere
The fourth season premiere of Dexter on Showtime scored with its best ratings yet and the highest in the history of the pay cable network. Its 1.5 million viewership was also 25% better than last year’s premiere. This episode, titled “Living the Dream”, has the blood splatter expert/serial killer Dexter now married and the sleep deprived father of an infant son. The episode wasted no time introducing the great veteran actor John Lithgow as this season’s nemesis. He plays a character known as The Trinity killer, a near mythic serial killer who’s been on the loose for three decades. Lithgow’s debut on the show accompanies a pretty disturbing murder scene when he offs a victim in a bathtub.
In the four year history of this terrific program, this was the most disturbing scene they have ever shot and that’s saying a lot. It is hard to get out of my head even as I write this. It was also good to see Keith Carradine return as FBI Agent Lundy. This is a really cool character that Carradine has nailed. The one thing the writers of Dexter do very well is produce really interesting supporting characters and Lundy is just one of them.
I can’t say enough about the program’s star, Michael C. Hall, as I can’t imagine another actor who could play the title character more brilliantly than he does. Hopefully sooner than later an Emmy will wind up in his trophy case. Given his last eclectic role in Six Feet Under and the relish with which he plays Dexter, it’s entirely possible that he’s just legitimately crazy. Even so, I loved when he said to himself “I have to be careful, I have a son, so I’m killing for two now”. That is just a brilliant line and extremely effective coming out of this fascinating actor’s mouth.
The episode ended with a really nifty cliffhanger that shows that Dexter’s life with wife and son will not be easy on his double life. I can’t wait for this season to unravel. Do yourself a favor and watch Dexter!
This Week – Will Zombieland score at box-office, Neve back for more Scream, Another Lost Boys on DVD and TV roundup
Zombieland- This horror comedy starring Woody Harrelson and Jessie Eisenberg is getting such terrific advance buzz that it will be interesting to see if it can break the $59,020,957 overall box-office take of Zach Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead back in 2004.
Scream 4- Variety is reporting that Neve Campbell has come to her senses and signed on to join Courtney Cox and David Arquette in the fourth entry of the very popular horror franchise. Considering Campbell’s career trajectory since the last Scream film back in 2000, how in the world do you say no to a paycheck that has to be between three and five million dollars.
Edgar Frog - Lost Boys
Lost Boys 3- This week Warner Bros announced a second direct to DVD sequel to the terrific 1987 original will go into production shortly, starring Cory Feldman as Edgar Frog. Apparently WB remains clueless about the true potential of this franchise. With everything vampire related hot as a pistol (Twilight, True Blood) the studio should have produced a new, high quality, Lost Boys for the big screen. These second rate DVD entries are an insult to fans of the original and a missed opportunity for the studio.
Flash Forward- The highly hyped new ABC show attracted 12.4 million viewers on Thursday night. I really liked the premise and, while the overall scope was held down by the confines of television, I will definitely be tuning in every week. Will this be the new LOST for viewers who like to think? I hope so.
Taylor Schilling - Mercy
Mercy- This new series on NBC attracted a modest audience of 8.5 million on Tuesday night. Overall I really enjoyed this new medical drama which focuses primarily on a complicated nurse played by unknown actress Taylor Schilling. Whether this show lasts or not, Taylor is sure to keep working. She has an interesting presence and holds her own, making for a very solid lead. This is a program well worth watching and deserves an audience.
A Beautiful Life- This new CW show produced by Ashton Kutcher is the first program of the new fall season to get cancelled. The show featured former O.C. star, and current Hollywood train wreck, Marsha Barton. Attracting an anemic one million viewers for episode number two prompted the network to pull the plug quickly.
Fringe- I’ve been perplexed since the network decided to move this terrific sc-fi head turner into the ultra competitive Thursday Night at 9 PM timeslot opposite powerhouses Grey’s Anatomy and CSI. This season’s second episode pulled in a viewership of less than six million people, a series low. While Fringe pulled in 57% higher ratings than anything else Fox had in that time period last year, I still wish the network let it piggyback behind House as its lead in on Monday nights this season. I’d hate to see another great show cancelled due to poor judgment at the studio.
Grey’s Anatomy- I think Shondra Rhimes has lost her mind! How else do you explain some of the outright ridiculous dialogue in the season opener Thursday night which had the cast members laughing during George O’Malley’s funeral. It felt like a payback to actor T.R Knight who decided to leave the hit show when his part was reduced significantly last season. Over all this left a bad taste in my mouth and I felt embarrassed for all involved.
Cougar Town- The new Courtney Cox ABC sitcom pulled in a solid audience of 12.4 million Thursday night and the show itself was very funny. I would argue that this was the ballsiest pieces of television a network has aired in quite some time. It almost felt like I was watching the FX channel. Cox is a talent and looks amazing at 44 years of age!
Heroes- Is anyone still watching? I quit two season’s ago!
JENNIFER’S BODY Review
Jennifer’s Body is literally 100 minutes of mediocrity. It’s not scary enough to work as a horror movie and it’s not funny enough to be a comedy. Whatever digest is displayed on screen is a pointless exercise that’s of little interest in any way. Actually if this was not written by the Oscar winning screenwriter of Juno (a movie I really liked), Diablo Cody, I don’t think it would have been greenlit in the first place (way to paint by numbers) and I have no doubt this will vaporize from multiplexes very quickly.
Megan Fox stars as Jennifer, a narcissistic high school sexpot cheerleader. Her life takes a strange turn when she and her unlikely best friend, Needy (Amanda Seyfried wearing glassing and an unflattering hairstyle to downplay her good looks), go to a roadside bar and listen to a rock group named Low Shoulder. Before there’s any real chance for much character development to take place (all you know is that Jennifer is stuck up and boys still like her), the bar burns down and Jennifer goes along for a car ride with the group.
Little does she know that the band’s leader (Adam Brody) is a Satanist who mistakenly thinks Jennifer is a virgin and decides to sacrifice her to ensure his future prosperity. Before one can say “is she dead”? Jennifer turns up at Needy’s house, covered in blood, belching black goo. She is now literally turned into a man-eating demon with her male classmates soon to become an ample smorgasbord. That’s pretty much the extent of the story other than one final question – will Needy stop Jennifer before her boyfriend (Johnny Simmons) becomes dinner?
While Fox is certainly adequate in her role, there was never a time I didn’t think of her current celebrity status and what she has become in terms of a media magnet. To me she was always Megan Fox here and not really a character; although maybe that’s one and the same. Now there’s something that could hurt her movie future. As for Seyfried (Mamma Mia) as the nerdy and somewhat insecure Needy, she’s quite good (considering the underwritten script) and continues to prove that she should be a fixture in movies for a long time to come.
Personally I’m not a big fan of horror comedies as many more misfire than really work and Jennifer’s Body is no exception to that fact. The film just doesn’t know what it’s trying to achieve. While I admit there were a few inventive lines with Diablo’s quirky dialogue ( I enjoyed Fox’s delivery of the line where she tells a guy to Move On .org) there wasn’t enough, and there is absolutely no suspense or fright factor anywhere to be found. The only really disturbing sequence in this movie is a makeout scene between Fox and Seyfried that literally comes out of nowhere and makes no sense other than to titillate. This and so much of this movie just seemed juvenile and amateurish.
In a recent interview, Diablo Cody said she is a big fan of 80’s horror. If that’s the case why didn’t she and director Karyn Kusama (Girl Fight) just make a straight horror movie instead of this ill-conceived concoction. Not scary at all and just not funny enough, Jennifer’s Body is a major disappointment which left me unimpressed and bored. 1 ½ Zombies out of 5.
My Top TEN favorite underrated movies by Chuck Curry
This is my look at movies I really enjoy that have either not been treated kindly by critics or were simply underappreciated.
10. Invasion (2007) – This fourth telling of the classic sci-fi tale Invasion of the Body Snatchers was hammered by critics but I must admit it totally worked for me. Nicole Kidman made for a solid lead and Daniel Craig, who co-starred as Kidman’s love interest, has never been more likeable on screen. One of the film’s messages about the numbing down of people by prescription drugs was a nifty touch as it gave the story a really interesting spin. In my opinion a solid watch. It furthers what made this story so compelling in the first place.
9. Daredevil (2003) – Is it one of the very best superhero movies ever made? No, but it’s a solid film in the genre that is entertaining and involving throughout. Ben Affleck (Matt Murdoch), Jennifer Garner (a perfect Elektra), Michael Clarke Duncan (Kingpin) and Colin Farrell (Bullseye) all give credible performances. I simply don’t get the hate. This is a good movie.
8. Halloween 2 (1981) – This is the best of the Halloween sequels and it plays extremely well as a direct continuation to John Carpenter’s classic original. The scenes of Michael Myers walking the streets of Haddonfield are by far the best of the entire series and the last twenty minutes, when Dr. Loomis finds out that Michael is Laurie Strode’s brother, are extremely suspenseful. Attention Rob Zombie – This is the real Halloween 2!
7. Hook (1991) – critics weren’t kind to this Spielberg film about a grown up Peter Pan who returns to Neverland to rescue his kids from Captain Hook, but I find it highly entertaining. When I originally saw this movie in a theater, I simply loved the way Spielberg built up the anticipation leading to Peter (Robin Williams) finally flying one again. While there are flaws, it’s still one of my favorite Spielberg movies. Another great score by John Williams.
6. Night of the Living Dead (1990) – Tom Savini’s remake of the George Romero classic zombie film isn’t as shocking as the 1968 original (how could it be three decades later) but it works. Tony Todd is a terrific lead as Ben, and Patricia Tallman (former stunt women) puts a nice spin on the Barbara character as she’s anything but the meek damsal in the original version. I first saw this movie after going on a job interview in NYC back in 1990 with around five people in the audience. It didn’t make much money and in many ways seems to be forgotten but for one reason or another it’s always stuck with me. I watch it every Halloween.
5. Gremlin 2 The New Batch (1990) – Joe Dante’s highly inventive sequel takes the action from a small town to the big city of New York and the result is a highly enjoyable follow-up to one of the best summer movies of all time. While this sequel is more comedic in nature, it’s no less entertaining than the original. Why Dante didn’t have a bigger career is anyone’s guess but the guy is a solid talent with a very inventive mind. How can anyone not love Gizmo going Rambo!
4. Jaws 2 (1978) – While it was almost impossible for any follow-up to Steven Spielberg’s original classic to be received in a positive light, director Jeannot Szwarc does about as good a job as one could. While not nearly as character driven as the first film in the franchise, the movie is grounded by returning lead Roy Scheider. Scheider, who later claimed to have only reprised his role to end a contractual issue with Universal, was reportedly unhappy during production and had several heated exchanges with director Szwarc. Scheider evidently didn’t want to get too upstaged by the movies younger cast and I guess he won the battle, as he was clearly the dominating force. The shark action sequences come at a fast and furious pace and the final showdown with Scheider’s Brody 
character and the shark is just as exciting as the original film. This is a very solid sequel and an underrated one at that.
3. Eyes Wide Shut (1999) – While I haven’t revisited the film since I saw it in a theater back in 1999, I recently got a chance to re-watch the late Stanley Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut, on Universal’s HDNET channel. I had the same reaction to it as I did back then. It’s a fascinating movie that features some of the best work of Tom Cruise’s career. This psychosexual thriller, which also costars Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman, is an absorbing and highly interesting piece of movie-making by one of Hollywood’s most gifted directors. I 
love the way it captured the underbelly of NYC at night through the eyes of Cruise’s doctor character. There’s something about it that’s really hypnotic. Many critics dismissed it upon its release but its one of those films worth a second look, or a first if you have never seen it before.
2. The Godfather III (1990) – Was it as great as Parts 1 & 2? NO, but it’s still a solid movie that is electric every time Andy Garcia (who was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar) is on screen. Many disregard it as a failure. I disagree. I would have loved to see a third sequel with Garcia’s Vincent Mancini character now running the show.
1. Unbreakable (2000) – I hate to use the phrase “misunderstood” but in this case I
think it’s quite appropriate. Perhaps the greatest and most original superhero origin story ever put on film. The problem was that it was never marketed as a superhero film and that really perplexed many moviegoers upon its initial release. Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson are in top form here and the score is just brilliant. M. Night Shylaman certainly had his mojo going strong when he made this. While underappreciated by the masses, many movie buffs regard it as a classic and I’m in that camp. “THEY CALL ME MR. GLASS”
