Sahara movie review

I saw it, I liked it. It's Indiana Jones for 2005. Bring the kids, they'll love it.

I agree with Harry:

"What follows is an adventure film right out of the pages of Clive Cussler. If you aren't really familiar with what that entails, think of it like this. It's kinda like Indiana Jones and James Bond, by way of Jack Burton and Buckaroo Banzai. He's a bit of a fortune hunter, but one that knows the greater good. As told in this film, which is just fun as hell - Eisner completely captures that sense of history between Dirk and Al... and Admiral James Sandecker (William H Macy perfectly cast) and ol CIA Agent Carl (Delroy Lindo cool as hell). It isn't overtly tongue in cheek, but when they get in dire trouble – it isn't new to them - they’ve seen trouble before - sometimes even the same kind of trouble. They're no strangers to adventure and they handle it instead of panicking."

Mick LaSalle in the SF Chron hated it, but you know whatever... Jeez Mick, what a pissy mood you must have been in. It's just fun.

The sooner you stop reading movie and music reviews and just watch and listen to lots of stuff to find out what you like the more you'll enjoy movies and music. I stopped reading all reviews long ago. I get more out of the comments at Amazon than the "critics" who often act EXACTLY like "The Critic"



If you are a Macy fan, he has a supporting role, but is very good. (as usual)

Who's Clive Cussler?

What do you call a man...

Who has 19 consecutive New York Times fiction best sellers?
Who has sold more than 125 million books?
Who is credited with finding numerous missing ships and planes including the CSS Hunley, the first submarine ever to sink a ship in battle?
Who holds a Doctor of Letters from the State University of New York for his first non-fiction work?
Who is a car collector with more than 85 examples of classic custom coachwork in his garage outside Denver?

The only possible answer: Clive Cussler, who is internationally acknowledged as the Grand Master of the American action/adventure novel. Cussler's books are published in more than 40 languages in more than 100 countries with a readership of more than 120 million avid fans.
