MOVIE ... ZERO HOUR (1957)

Take a look at the movie listed above and you will see where they got all the great material for this movie. The movie "Zero Hour" was reviewed by a guy in the UK, I just watched this picture and "Airplane" is like a one to one copy of it. It's like they used carbon paper to make the movie Airplane.

Storyline

A routine flight turns into a major emergency as passengers and crew succumb to food poisoning - is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? If that sounds vaguely familiar, it's because 'Airplane' was a send-up of this forerunner of the 1970s disaster movie.. Written by Michael Brooke "michael@everyman.demon.co.uk"

This was nothing more than 2001 Space Odyssey meets Blade Runner, just another Si-Fi flick! After looking at over 70 years of movies, it's hard to find anything new or really worth watching. In the 1940's before we had TV my mom bought a 16mm sound projector used, we would rent films on the weekend, the number of movies these eyeballs and this brain have seen is hard to measure. So this is why it's hard for me to find something that I can really like. Every now and then something will come along and for some reason I just love it, example "Blast from the past", I watch that one every chance I get when it comes on TV, and then there's Zack and Miri make a porno, I (LMAO) when that ones on, but you have to see it on one of the services otherwise they will chop it up to nothing.

I feel they did a much better editing job in this picture (The Machinist) than in "November". Both are good flicks to watch, not the same old tripe, cranked off the assembly line. For the most part this picture (November) keeps you in the dark all the way to the end as to what's going on, it was to jerky. For example, I was not sure if the dinner scenes with mom were different days, or the same scene repeated in different ways. This leaves the viewer confused. And this happens over and over with most of the scenes in the movie. As I said before you should give The Machinist a look and see if I'm not right on this, editing can make or break a picture.

I have this on tape and have made it a tradition, to be watched each New Years Eve for the past 20 years .... just can't think of not doing it. After Dick Clark and Times Square go off, on goes the movie. A movie about New Years Eve on New Years Eve ... what could be better. Sneaking up on 67, it's nice to know that my kids remember me doing this and still ask about to this day. It's a fun movie ... ENJOY !!! (don't pick it apart just enjoy it) Well seems I need to have more on here. So I would also like to point out that the music is good and I look forward to hearing each year, so again I'll say give it a look see, especially on New Years Eve.

What I see is someone who is trying to buildup a reputation in the industry as legit, after coming from an industry where the mainstream population is going shun you. You have to start somewhere and I'm sure it's not going to be at the top, so for starters I'd expect to see some of the "low budget" type films. I'd say she is still young enough to make the jump to mainstream files but I'd also have to say give her 15 to 20 years to make that jump without the stigma of the past hanging on. Take a look at her biography and see the time frame where she was in the porn industry and when she got out, adding that 20 years to that date brings us pretty close to the current time. So I really think she's got a chance at this and if she makes it, it will indeed be a rarity. Who knows she could be in the next blockbuster, these days you never know. But then that's just me, I'm one of those kooks that hang around to read the credits.
