[BrandonDaCollector]

Another remake but this one is animated. The original 1961 King of Kings is arguably the greatest Jesus movie next to 2004's The Passion of the Christ,. My Grandma loved them both

OK then you know how classic it is then. That's great trivia there Packer especially since you listen to the songs in your Grandma's neighborhood It's such a shame how others are so distant about their great past Oh yes, After Burner was great. I never got a chance to play the arcade but I did for the Sega Genesis & 32X however. Still, the game is one of the many that is missing the retro release treatment

OK, here I go with Top Gun: Maverick



The movie is good and looks similar the way the late great Tony Scott did the first film but after a while it just loses steam and become just a "new" movie but at least it's sequel. They show this in the movie big time.



Tom Cruise returns as Maverick, the titled character.



Val Kilmer returns in his final role as Iceman.




Miles Teller plays Rooster whom is Goose's son



Jennifer Connelly plays Maverick's girlfriend. To bad they had to wait so long to a make a sequel I mean it's a 36 year gap...what the heck happen between 1986 & now



St. Louis' own John Hamm is Cyclone.



Coincidentally, he & Connelly was both in 2008's epic The Day the Earth Stood Still



Charles Parnell is Warlock.



Now, this is a younger generation of Top Guns, way different than how the people were in the 80s whoch they were so much cooler. Of course they think nothing of the elders nor the past and don't care if they go extinct. Once they know Maverick, they'll find out that the older Generation still has what it takes



Lewis Pullman plays Bob. Yes, this is Bill Pullman's son



There's a Top Gun female here this time around played Monica Barbaro, She is Phoenix. Hopefully she caught some young man's attention here.





Glen Powell is Hangman. Strangely, Last year his was the main guy in Twisters,



Now, if you thought why is that strange, well here's your answer. In the classic parody/spoof of Top Gun called Hot Shots! that came out in 1991, Cary Elwes played the Iceman character...a few years later in 1996, he would be in the first Twister



Ed Harris is Hammer. It was rad seeing him. If your wondering, they continue "the Coffey gag" with him but it was very brief



The Trailer before the P!anDemic



The Trailer after the P!anDemic



This really lacked the classic the songs. The score was good but not the best. It's by Hans Zimmer and produced by his colleague Lorne Balfe whom is a great composer himself. He uses Harold Faltermayer's great theme. My Mom knows Zimmer a lot thanks to Me & We were both very disgusted that Lady Gaga who only did a song at the climax of the film got top billing before Zimmer Composers get such disrespect when they have so much talent I've nown Zimmer since he did Pacific Heights & Backdraft in 90 & 91, where was Gaga during this time Anyway, here's the theme.



Now as special bonus, here's the Val Kilmer scene, he's only in it for a brief moment. His voice has been dubbed due to his unfortunate condition. This was his final film



I'll see what is next

[packerbacker180]

Haven't seen it. Had it on the DVR for a longtime just don't watch films liked I used to.



My kids liked Tangled a lot when they were younger. It's actually pretty decent as far as Disney cartoons go. I mean, where else can you get Brad Garrett and Jeffery Tambor doing a song together?

[BrandonDaCollector]

I never saw Tangled with that good cast but I sure remember the previews & hype. Really, it's important to watch movies now because of a lot of stuff they show you regardless of genre.

The next Val Kilmer is this remake of The Murders in the Rue Morgue



It's an classic story by Edgar Allen Poe from the 1800s and has been made into film many times similar like A Christmas Carol. This "Slasher" was a world premier TV movie in 1986 on CBS. keep in mind, this is the same years as Top Gun. Kilmer looks really good here and played the investigating role very well.



George C. Scott is the main investigator who lost his passion for the job & things in general (seems like a lot of that is happening with society right now) until his lovely daughter gave him "a wake-up call" making him realize things thus comes out of retirement



Kilmer & Scott make a good team.



Rebecca De Mornay plays Scott's daughter and she is great here.



She & Kilmer made a decent duo as well.



A young Ian McShane is in the movie (Pic isn't from the movie).

Spoiler:

If you don't know the story, it centers around mystery of horrific killings. The Ape in the movie is something else. During this Victorian Era, Chimps & Apes (Mockman) were still very little studied.

Here's the Commercial/Trailer with the great CBS Friday Night Movie fanfare from 1986



Here's this preview from 1989.



The movie is free on YT. This is really good quality and such a fine movie



More Val Kilmer to come

[packerbacker180]

I've heard of the story, but never saw this movie. Nice cast, though.

Took the kids to see The Minecraft Movie today. It was pretty entertaining. I mean when a lot about the game is made then you have a lot of room to make up your own stuff. Still, Jake Black and especially Jason Mamoa were really funny in it.

This was one of the previews, not so sure about this yet...

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, it sure did. Well congrats. I'm glad that you guys experienced that Yet another remake. Of course they had ruin the DCCU. Of course there's A.I. there. This looks OK but doesn't look as fun as 2006's Superman Returns. We'll see how good it is in time.

Here's the next Val Kilmer movie, it's called The Man Who Broke 1,000 Chains



This is based on a true story set during & post World War 1. It was an exclusive movie that aired on HBO in 1987




Val Kilmer is the star. The short scene in the beginning that you see him in in WW1 is incredible.



He has PTSD and like society always does, it never thinks about the heroes that fought for this country's freedom. It's horrible now for Vietnam War vets living on the street as I type this Kilmer can't get a job however; he meets Clancy Brown to get some money. Brown's great idea is to rob this little shop which goes bad and lands Kilmer to the terrors of Georgia Prison




After his escape of the Chain gang, he starts over and is looking for a place to stay. He finds a room for rent. The woman that has it is a really nice Latina. She is played by Sonia Braga and becomes his love interest. She immediately likes him and supports him all the way including giving him money to start his Chicago Magazine which became a huge success



She was quite stunning in her day.



Now, she finds out that he's an escaped convict but still trusts him and wants to marry him and to "love" him. She is such an ideal woman in many ways.



You'd think he'd love her like he's the luckiest man ever and like a queen right Wrong He says he loves her but he's "not in love" with her At one of his lectures, he meets Kyra Sedwick who praises his work. He immediately fell in love with her thus dumping Braga. Then after he get's back out of prison, she marries somebody else a Gosh he was fool



The major bad guy here is the late great Charles Durning.




I couldn't find a trailer or commercial however I found this from 1990, 36 years ago this year.



Now, there is a fine free version of it. You can definitely tell that it's an HBO movie because they always had a certain way they looked and the way they sounded. The musical score was by Charles Berstein (not related to Elmer & son Peter) who is known for making the super spooky score for 84's A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are many moments in the movie that sounds like that music When you have the chance, I suggest that you watch this historical classic HBO movie



Another Val Kilmer movie is coming soon

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, I wasn't overly impressed with that Superman. I guess the goal is to make him more vulnerable, but that isn't Superman then. I don't know.

Never heard of that Val Kilmer movie.

This was another trailer at Minecraft. I don't know. Talking sneakers just seems too silly.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yeah, if Superman is vulnerable and is near human throughout the movie that had nothing to do with Kryptonite and Doomsday, he isn't Superman to Me either That's weird, I never knew about Sneaks, I'm not interested in it but it might be alright.

OK, I wanted to go back to Val Kilmer's Billy the Kid from 1989.



It co-stars the late great Wilford Brimley.



There's a very important thing that I left out before. It was made by Turner and it was a premier movie on TNT



Here's commercial promoting it coming on Video Cassette.



Now, here's the full movie however it's in Spanish. I'm posting this because of this. In the beginning they play the really cool Turner logos. I always liked that. Just play the first 16 seconds then stop.



Now, here's the whole movie in English. This video here is the complete encore/repeat broadcast in 1994. This has the commercials which many are NBA with players such as Karl Malone & Shaq. It's completely uncut. It's so cool watching this to relive back in the day how it was



Another great Val Kilmer movie from 1989 is next

[packerbacker180]

Never associated Gore Vidal with Billy the Kid. Westerns were big around that time, though so not surprising.
