Truth (2006)
Very good movie. Should be in IMDb.
The Cast is: Stephanie Zimbalist, Thea Gill, Garry Chalk, Spencer Rochfort Stephen Lobo and Dean Caine. It was directed by Timohy bond. It's one of those made for TV movies that are very easy to miss. I discovered it looking for something else. I've been a fan of Stephanie Zimbalist for years. It was a much better movie than I had any right to expect. It had several clever twists and a really villainous thug. There was no romance that I could detect, but it didn't hurt the movie or the plot. The basic premise was believable and as always Stephanie Zimbalist gave an excellent performance. The movie had a somewhat surprising ending. It was very cleverly done.
Earthquake (1974)
Shake, Rattle and Roll with a vengeance
One of the very best disaster movies. At several points there is actual suspense, not often seen in the disaster genre. Probably the most suspenseful occurrence was when a Boeing 707 is coming in to land at LAX just as the runway splits. The plan is ordered to go around and the plane approaching the crevice while trying to take off was handled very well. When I first saw the movie in a theater I lost a dollar bet on the outcome. Charlton Heston and Arthur Kennedy give their usual fine performances. Special effect were extensive for the time, although at times a bit cheesy by today standards. Looking at the clothing styles of 1974 is very amusing.
