I love "Escape From New York" and the role of "Snake" is wonderfully hammed up by Kurt Russell. I'm also a big fan of Carpenter's scores and his associations with Alan Howarth.Mephistopheles wrote:Last night I saw John Carpenter's Escape from New York and Paul Anderson's Event Horizon on TV. The latter paled so much compared with the former it was almost embarresing. But Mr. Anderson being who he is, and Mr. Carpenter being who he is, that goes without saying...
Escape From New York" is a solid action noir by John Carpenter, although it lacks the punch of Carpenter's other three previous features ("The Fog", "Halloween", "Assault on Precinct 13"). Carpenter made the most out of his meeger budget and created a very convincing New York City. Is a very dark film.Mephistopheles wrote:Yeah, the score was great.
I think both Russell and Carpenter did an even better job on The Thing, which, by the way, is one of the very few remakes to actually match or surpass the original (which in this case would be Howard Hawks' The Thing from Another World from 1952).
Agreed, it was a great remake.Mephistopheles wrote:Yeah, the score was great.

It isn't a good idea to keep revisiting the same idea. Television producers are most guilty of this, with shows like Big Brother. Viewing for the lobotomised!Mephistopheles wrote:And they are remaking it again as we speak.
I must admit I am a bit sceptical...
