The Black Hole was an incredible movie! Both Ernest Borgnine and Joseph Bottoms were amazing! The great cast includes Ernest Borgnine, Joseph Bottoms, Robert Forster, Roddy McDowall, Tommy McLoughlin. If you love watching Ernest Borgnine or Joseph Bottoms, you are deffinetly going to want to watch The Black Hole.
Disney's foray into big-budget science fiction, close on the heels of Star Wars, had some of the most impressive special effects to grace theater screens in the 1970s. Graced by handsome production design--most notably a glass and latticework interstellar craft that looks like a battleship crossed with a modern skyscraper--The Black Hole is in many ways the most beautiful science fiction film of its era. Unfortunately, the graceful and gorgeous picture is jarred by dialogue that wouldn't pass muster in a comic book and a silly conclusion that plays like a murky, dime-store knockoff of 2001. Too bad, because the visual realization of the film is a veritable haunted house of futuristic phenomena, from the cloaked zombie-like drones shuffling through corridors to the devilish, crimson robot Maximillian, the strong arm of the mad scientist played by Maximilian Schell (a kind of wild man Captain Nemo with an even more ruthless temperament). Only the way-too-cute robot V.I.N.CENT (voiced by Roddy McDowall), a merchandising gimmick that looks like a Fisher-Price toy, mars the technological landscape. Robert Forster is the quietly authoritative captain of an exploration ship that stumbles across the seemingly derelict ship, and Anthony Perkins, Yvette Mimieux, Ernest Borgnine, and Joseph Bottoms fill out his crew. This is one case of a triumph of art direction and special effects over story--it's worth sitting through it to see the magnificent scene of the fireball rolling through the ship's enormous hull alone. The rest is just atmospheric gravy. --Sean Axmaker

A good cop sent to jail, plunged into a nightmare world where there are no rules, and all he can trust are his own two fists. Framed and convicted for a murder he didn't commit, Police Detective Ron Taylor has just entered hell, a prison controlled by a brutal crime lord who has Taylor's partner as the next target in a bloodthirsty quest for power. It's up to Taylor to stage a daring jail break and hunt Garrett down to clear his name and take the vicious madman out of action in a final confrontation only one man will walk away from.
George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey- To begin, this movie has a great beginning; it pulled me right into it.This is something not usually seen in movies of this type, so it makes it an unusual, yet pleasant experience.The action scenes are really great. Jean Arthur played his role great. Fred Astaire actually caught my interest.
I think Jean Arthur and Fred Astaire worked wonderful in George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey. The great supporting cast includes Jean Arthur, Fred Astaire, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Douglas Fairbanks Jr..
All in all, I would rate this movie an 8.5/10. I would definitely watch this movie again.
I left some information, immages, and video previews of George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey below.
Summary of George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey: The director's son put together this outstanding documentary of his father's life and work.
