It's a shame that so few people know about this movie's existence. It's such a great audience picture, and it has retained every bit of its power. The large scale disaster movie began with AIRPORT in 1970 and continued into the... Full review

TWO MINUTE WARNING is a somewhat underrated thriller involving the L.A.P.D. trying to get a sniper before he unloads his ammunition onto a crowd of over 90,000 people at a football game inside the Los Angeles Coliseum. Though it has the... Full review
