Ummm... except for the humans blowing up in a vacuum part. That cracked
me up.
(No, humans would NOT blow up in a vacuum. Skin can handle going from 15
pounds per square inch to zero. You would see blood vessels bursting in
the
eyes, probably in the lungs, etc. but not people blowing up like a
balloon.)
Actually, the most undersold movie he made was probably Zardoz.
An under rated movie called "The Beast" has just been released on DVD.
It's
about the crew of a Soviet T-62 in Afghanistan. I've only seen it once,
but
really enjoyed it at the time. I'd put it into the list of movies.
For the original poster, if you haven't seen it, rent "From The Earth To
The
Moon". It's 12 1-hour episodes, but well worth it!
