For my money, vs. the Sea Monster is the best (besides the original) of the showa era, despite being a (barely) rewritten King Kong pictute. The cinematography of that one, though... some really gorgeous scenes (which I won't go into in case you haven't seen).Andrew Gilbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604304361825660940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-20878633557516443052016-05-29T17:47:15.578-03:002016-05-29T17:47:15.578-03:00Big Trouble is both a film cursed by a poor releas...Big Trouble is both a film cursed by a poor release date, a poor DVD release (it took me seven months to track it down, being a fan of the book), and a rare instance of the film being better than the book.

It's one of my favorite comedies of the past 20 years. Unfortunately, it was struck by a case of really poor timing. It was originally scheduled for release around Thanksgiving of 2001. Then 9/11 happened, and the movie studio thought that with the final sequence involving a plane and a nuclear bomb, it was probably better to bury the movie the following April.<br /><br />Other than the Toy Story movies, this is the only movie I enjoy Tim Allen in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-1147394959083813302016-05-29T09:48:21.310-03:002016-05-29T09:48:21.310-03:00That makes sense!
