Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
All in all a decent sci-fi - Spoilers
I first saw this movie maybe 10 years ago and the most destinctive part was the unmistakable voice of Peter Lorre. Not that he's brilliant or anything in this, it's just fun to watch an antiquated submarine flick and say "Hey! There's the guy from Casablanca!"
But there is one major plot hole I have not been able to figure out. Nelson says that his plan will work if the temperature raises at the same temperature as it has been so far.
The "evil" Dr. Zucco claims that the belt will burn itself out, Nelson protests saying that the window for his plan will have already passed by the time Zucco's burnout point hits.
Here's the catch, on the way to the marianas, Nelson has the crew keep a chart of the rising temperature. At one point near the end of the film, the temperature is read aloud and Nelson notes that "Zucco was wrong. There is no burnout point"
How could this temperature have been reached if Nelson's plan still worked? The temperature must have begun rising faster, thus making Nelson's plan worthless.
But anyway. A decent way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
The Tune (1992)
Best thing animation has ever produced
Praise the heavens for IMDB! I saw this movie when it first came out. I was about 8 then and for some reason it slipped away in the cracks of memory. Whenever I used to bring it up, people would never know what the heck I was talking about. On a whim I looked it up, and, wouldn't you know it!
This was honestly one of the greatest, most entertaining and downright brilliant pieces of animation I have ever come across. I don't know how much I can recommend it. Any amount seems like hardly enough.
Loved it, Loved it.
SEE IT! (or be sad forever)
