Escape From L.A.

It is arguable to many in the business and fans alike that John Carpenter clearly has an imagination that goes beyond the technology needed to envision his direction of storytelling. I want to call this the successful failure. Due to time and money contraints and the pressure of the money men impeding influences, then you got the politics involved about appropriation, how is a man suppose to tell a story when everyone around him has the power to alter his imagination. Escape from New York, for example. So taboo, to have a movie like that available because the Twin Tower's happen to be apart of the story. Well, they're not there anymore. Ironically because of the very thing that John Carpenter was trying to tell in his story. He can't say these things and not get the grace to produce such controversial topics to the general public. He's not the only one. Mel Brooks has been a target as well. Point is imagination shouldn't have limitations in movies. See, it's okay to have violence in a movie. As long as there's no insinuation. I enjoyed this movie because I could see John's imagination.

Not as good as the original but on its own merits great. On Carpenters bad day he beats most of the big box office that's made on the movie factory line now. With producers who don't vision or an imagination. They just churn out the same sewage or looking for franchise to make more money but same ideas.

This movie had so much potential but didn't live up to it, tsunami surfing, REALLY?
