Similarly remaking a number of the core elements of the original Jurassic Park 's first sequel as Jurassic World remade Jurassic Park , the movie slipped further into algorithmic screenwriting in the eyes of many critics and fans al
The movie has its undeniable flaws, as all of the movies in the series realistically do, but the hatred leveled against it and its more 50s sci-fi spin on the core structure was disproportionately intense more amongst older fans than it was amongst critics or general audien

George Lucas chose the perfect collaborators to bring his homage to the classic adventure serials of the ‘30s to life, from Steven Spielberg’s razor-sharp direction to the episodic plotting of Lawrence Kasdan’s uniquely structured seven-act screenp
Akira Kurosawa practically set the template for the modern Hollywood action movie with his 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai . This three-hour epic sees some quaint villagers being threatened by a gang of bandits and a samurai assembling a team to protect t
The "Raiders March" is unique, rousing, and instantly recognizable by nearly any movie-goer today, while "Marion's Theme" invokes feelings of love. Perhaps his best work, though, is found in the mystical themes surrounding the movie's famous MacGuffin: the Ark of the Covena
The name might have something to do with the chaos that has descended upon Akrasia in the form of aggressive demons and other intimidating monsters. The Lost Ark Classes Ark is all that can save the land from certain destruction. Thus, players must seek it out it as the ultimate achievement in the g
Antiquated gender roles were a topic unto themselves when discussing the movie and its generic, rehashed, structure, whilst satisfyingly tied into the movie's inherent theme of corporate cynicism, was too much nostalgia and not enough ingenuity for s
**I grew up on Raiders of the Lost Ark , and absolutely love it. Revisiting it again before talking to you just hammers home how well it holds up and how well it's aged. Do you often revisit it? Is it a movie you go back to, or do you not like to watch your own stuff
Bruce Lee starred in a ton of classic action movies, from Fist of Fury to Game of Death to The Way of the Dragon , but arguably his most iconic work is the final movie he completed before his untimely passing: Enter the Drag
Yes, those scenes where I am barefoot, which there are a lot of when I'm in that white dress, for the most part. It's very fanciful that I put on that white dress and a pair of high heels out in the middle of the desert. And then I seem to lose my shoes entirely in the Well of Souls. It's interesting. I don't know exactly how I got through being barefoot for all of that. Certainly, in the Well of Souls with all the snakes, it was very challenging. There were a lot of snakes there, and I had nothing on my teeth and nothing on my legs - once the skirt gets ripped, the bottom half of my legs is also completely bare. So, it does feel very much like I have no protection against the fire and the snakes and everything that was going on. I don't know, you just rise to the occasion, as they say. When you're an actor, they throw all these circumstances at you. You just have to sometimes take a deep breath and see it as a part of the adventure. What can I say? I guess I'm a good sp
A rom-com that does nothing to stand out from the sea of rom-coms , We'll Never Have Paris is directed by real-life couple Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Towne. The film dramatizes the actual events surrounding their engagement, with Helberg playing a fictionalized version of himself named Quinn and Melanie Lynskey playing his love interest, De
So, he switched genres to action. After Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo struggled against one xenomorph in the first movie, Cameron’s 1986 sequel Aliens pitted her and a bunch of gun-toting Colonial Marines against an entire h
One of the most incredible things about re-watching Raiders is the relative lack of dialogue, especially towards the beginning. In the screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan, the audience learns about the characters through actions rather than wo
So, it was brought up to where I was working on a film in Northern California. It got brought up, and I had to read it in my hotel room with a courier sitting there, waiting for me to finish - and then I had to give it back to him. They took the script away, and I didn't read it for another two or three weeks or something, until they offered me the role. I accepted, and then they sent me anothet version of the script. But I was pretty bowled over when I read the script. I mean, it was the most fantastical story on paper. I don't know that you can do a film like Raiders of the Lost Ark justice on paper, but it was quite extraordinary to r
