No se trataba de otra aventura de rescate con héroes de mandíbula cuadrada; era una bofetada nihilista a la figura sagrada del Presidente y una visión, quizás demasiado cercana hoy en día, de la decadencia urbana. Siempre que la vuelvo a ver, me pregunto si…More
Snake, Snake,Snake!!! zrodlo/source Ucieczka z Nowego Jorku to film w pewnym stopniu przełomowy i potwierdzający jak świetnym reżyserem jest John Carpenter, a Kurt Russel potrafi się tez odnaleźć nie tylko wokół strasznych potworów ale i wokół więźniów.

Hi Steemians! Today I have the pleasure to speak about a post apocalyptic science fiction movie duo... especially the first one! In 1981 went out to the theaters to become a cult; "Escape from New York," (our funny guys who love changing names to the movies have limited themselves to translating it without twist it) by the director "John Carpenter" and as leading actor "Kurt Russel". I fell in love with this movie t…More
The more I study John Carpenter's work, the more I realize that he may be one of the most tragically underappreciated artists in cinema. And in 1981 he gave us a gem of a movie called Escape from New York , a movie I did not discover until I discovered Netflix. What's so great about it? Let's find out together. The Pre- Temple-of-Doom R-rating Strikes Again This movie is rated R. But it was given that R-rating in an…More
