When the theatrical release of James Cameron’s Titanic was delayed from July to December of 1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron’s 0 million disaster epic would cause the director’s downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912. Some studio executives were confident, others horrified, but the clarity of hindsight turned Cameron into an Oscar-winning genius, a shrewd businessman, and one of the most successful directors in the history of motion pictures. Titanic would surpass the billion mark in global box-office receipts (largely due to multiple viewings, the majority by teenage girls), win 11 Academy Awar

Soon he and his faithful sidekick Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) are lost in another adventure, discovering a deadly con

As the unstable vessel rapidly floods with water, they face unimaginable odds and life-altering decisions in their desperate fight to the surface.The 1972 disaster hit The Poseidon Adventure was ripe for a big-budget CGI remake, and who better to helm it than thriller expert Wolfgang Petersen, director of Das Boot and The Perfect Storm? It hardly matters that a TV movie remake (also based on Paul Gallico’s original 1969 source novel) was made less than a year before, because Petersen’s version is far more spectacular, with shocking digital effects, massive sets, am

James Bridges (Urban Cowboy, Bright Lights, Big City) directed this 1979 film that became a worldwide sensation when, just weeks after its release, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred. Jane Fonda (Klute, Julia) plays a television news reporter who is not taken very seriously until a routine story at the local nuclear power plant leads her to what may be a cover-up of epic proportions. She and her cameraman, played by Michael Douglas (Wall Street, American President), hook up with a whistleblower at the plant, played by Jack Lemmon (Save the Tiger, Missing). Together they try to uncover the dangers lurking beneath the nuclear reactor and avoid being silenced by the business interests behind the plant. Though topical, the film (pr

AFTER A GEOPHYSICIST DISCOVERS THAT THE EARTH’S INNER CORE HASSTOPPED ROTATING, AN ELITE TEAM OF SCIENTISTS HAS ONE LASTCHANCE TO SAVE THE WORLD – BY JOURNEYING INTO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!Smarter than Armageddon and equally extreme, The Core is high-tech Hollywood hokum at its finest. It’s scientifically ridiculous, but this variant of Fantastic Voyage at least tries to be credible as it plunges deep into the earth’s inner core, where a formulaic team of experts pilot an earth-boring ship to jump-start the planet’s spinning molten interior, now stalled by a military secret that could seal the fate of all humankind. It’s a geophysicist’s wet dream that only a fine ensemble cast could rescue from absurdity, and director Jon Amiel (Entrapmen
