We can't help ourselves, so we're heading to hell for another stab at a Paul W.S. Anderson film. This time we're talking about <i>Event Horizon</i> from 1997, written by Philip Eisner, starring Laurence Fishburne og Sam Neill, along with Anderson regulars Jason Isaacs and Sean Pertwee.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- The flawed story and what could have been<br />
- The physics-defying techno babble<br />
- Visual effects and designs<br />
- We explain why we love the film unconditionally anyway<br />
- And why, in the future, we're still going to need old-fashioned pens<br />

Time to take a look at a little film about a family going slowly insane together: <i>The Shining</i> from 1980, directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the book by Stephen King. Hated and revered, analyzed by many who shouldn't, but nevertheless the work of a master.<br />
<br />
Join us as we train the light on this controversial film to find out if it really shines all that brightly.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- Kubrick's visuals and narrative style<br />
- The production and Kubrick's work methods <br />
- The novel vs. the film <br />
- Shelley Duvall's teeth<br />
- The insane conspiracy theories<br />

<br />
The episode was directed by Robert Totten, and written by William Read Woodfield & Allan Balter.<br />
<br />
Please note that this is not a hardcore scene-specific track, just a bit of extra fun, so we can talk about some of the stuff we couldn't fit into the main track for <a href="http://www.commentariesonfilm.com/2013/06/mission-impossible-1996.html">Mission: Impossible (1996)</a>.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- The style and structure<br />
- The creation of the original show<br />
- Favorite moments from the show<br />
- The slow decline of the series<br />
- And much more<br />

In space no one can hear you develop a bad screenplay, but on this track you can listen to us rip into one of 2012's most disappointing movies: <i>Prometheus (2012)</i>. Directed by Sir Ridley Scottt, "written" by Jon Spaihts & Damon Lindelof.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- The deeply flawed screenplay<br />
- The complete lack of science and logic<br />
- Connection to the franchise<br />
- Crackpot internet theories<br />
- And we offer changes to improve the script<br />
<br />
PS: We apologize for David pronouncing all names wrong.<br />

This time we declare our love for one of the most iconic action movies from the 80's, <i>Lethal Weapon (1987)</i>. The first entry in a franchise that would eventually degenerate into silly slapstick.<br />
<br />
Our man-crush Shane Black wrote the script - when he was barely 20, for God's sake! - and Richard Donner directs Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the leads.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
- The <i>Lethal Weapon</i> franchise<br />
- The brilliance of Shane Black<br />
- The film vs. the script vs. deleted scenes<br />
- Action movies of the 80's<br />
- The careers of Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Richard Donner<br />
- And Dennis thinks Danny Glover is a bloody thief<br />

<br />
After a few comedy flops Sylvester Stallone's A-list status was hanging on his next project. Luckily <i>Cliffhanger</i> proved to be a fantastic return to form.<br />

- Visual effects on the cusp of the digital revolution<br />
- The story of Carolco<br />
- Mountain climbing films<br />

We lose." </i><br />
<br />
It's easy to imagine why Fox thought it was a good idea to combine their two big monster franchises, the Aliens and the Predators. It's a little more unclear, why anyone would think Paul W.S. Anderson was the guy who could pull it off.<br />
<br />
In this new commentary we dive into the 2004 movie <i>Alien vs. Predator</i>. Written and directed by Anderson, starring <span class="misspell">Sanaa</span> <span class="misspell">Lathan</span> and Lance <span class="misspell">Henriksen</span>. <br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- How this relates to the other films in the franchises<br />
- The comic book influence<br />
- The utter lack of logic and research<br />
- Alternative possibilities for the story and the film<br />
- And why Sebastian is the most wrongest character since like forever<br />
- We also trash the Americans, the British, the Italians, and the Scots (sorry, group hug)<br />

<br />
It's an enjoyable track, full of interesting production details, and both guys seem very likable, unfortunately they fail to address any of the burning questions a dedicated fan would have. Besides the obvious - Why make the film at all? - they barely mention the controversial CGI effects, or talk about how much they tried to shot practically. They praise Mary Elizabeth Winstead constantly. Apparently she was a sweetheart, and that probably prevents them from noticing how utterly miscast she is.<br />
<br />
This track was recorded weeks before the premiere of the film, so they don't yet know how bad it's going to be received. That might have done them some good, because they seem clueless as to how inferior this film is to the original.<br />

The Shadow</i> from 1994 was the first big budget Hollywood attempt to make a film about the classic pulp anti-hero. Did they succeed? We investigate. The film was directed by Russell Mulcahy, written by David Koepp, based on the work of Walter B. Gibson, and produced by Martin Bregman.<br />
<br />
On this track we cover:<br />
<br />
- Creating a modern retro action adventure<br />
- The origin of The Shadow<br />
- The pulps and the radioplays<br />
- Visual effects<br />

<br />
Director Paul Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt get off to a fairly good start, even though Anderson often sounds like he thinks Bolt is an idiot. They cover a lot of ground - differences in acting styles, deleted scenes, technical details - and especially Anderson is very honest about the movie's shortcomings.<br />
<br />
The pair provide a lot of information, but they don't have time to get into enough details. There are too many breaks and they often point of obvious stuff (<i>"this is Sam Neill"</i>). After a while they get caught up in the action scenes, making it quite clear they haven't seen the film for a while.<br />
<br />
All in all, you'll probably be better off watching the feature length documentary.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Director David Koepp does the commentary track for the film alone. Koepp is a good talker and the track is both entertaining and informative. The director manages to talk about the technical aspects of making the film, working with the actors, and the script. Although Koepp is the only one doing the talking on the track he manages to keep a nice flow going and never runs out of subjects. He also throws in some funny anecdotes making this a great commentary track for fans of the film.<br />
