Forgotten movie alright.

I see the thumbnail and was convinced I'd never seen a Kurt Russell film called Breakdown. Sometimes I skip RLM vids about a film I haven't seen, but I started watching this one. It took a little while, suddenly I remembered that yes I had seen the film, but so much of it was just the vaguest memories. So yeah like they were saying, it's kinda a good film, but doesn't really do anything to stick in your mind.

I think it's kind of a loose rip-off of a old French movie called The Vanishing. They're two completely different films but it's a similar concept and this one's much more Americanized. I even think there was an American remake of the French film with Ray Liotta back in the 90s, and I would maybe has her to Guess that those two movies came out around the same time.

After all when you had killer asteroid movies you would typically get two or three released within the same year, and the same thing with any other type of concept that look like it was going to make money.

If you've not ever seen the vanishing though it's totally worth it. I remember the French version more than I remember the Ray liotta one, and I can't remember if they end the same. The French one is pretty screwed up and tense.

That recent video reminded me that there's still plenty of their recommendations that I haven't watched yet. So I just went back and watched a couple of movies they've recommended in recent years 'late night with the devil' and 'dinner in america' and they were both so good. I don't think RLM recommendations have ever lead me astray. I'm reminded of one I watched based on their recommendation years back 'the kid detective' which I otherwise would probably have never heard of.. I've rewatch it every year or two, it's so great.

I just watched The King Tide. Definitely an interesting movie. It's, as they said, very much a "what would I do if I were in their shoes" kind of movie. Can't say I've ever seen anything like it. Definitely enjoyable. And man, that climax goes from 0 to 100 real quick.

GoodBadFlicks covered Terrorsquad 2 days ago. What a weird coincidence. I think that's happened before too?
