-An action movie is perfectly passable if it has a couple of fistfights and explosions and a wisecracking hero, but the very best movies that the genre has to offer go above and beyond with visceral camerawork, breathtaking stunts, and sharp storytelling driven by action. Directors like John Woo and James Cameron have brought an artfulness to action cinema that legitimized the ge

-When Pixar released a trailer for a movie in which an old man makes his house take flight with a ton of balloons, skeptical audiences thought that the studio had finally jumped the shark. And then Up hit theaters and left that skepticism in its dust by using the story of a flying house as a giant visual metaphor for a widower dealing with gr
+**Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie that has its own behind-the-scenes mythology as is. But going back to when you first got the script, what was your impression of it? It's very Lucas and Spielberg, but also unlike anything they'd done previously. What was your first thought

+Legend has it that Steven Spielberg was considering directing a James Bond movie before George Lucas convinced him to take on an original hero instead. And Indiana Jones was certainly set apart from other big-screen heroes. He was smarter than the average good guy, and while he got beat-up often, he could handle himself in a fi
-George Lucas chose the perfect collaborators to bring his homage to the classic adventure serials of the ‘30s to life, from Steven Spielberg’s razor-sharp direction to the episodic plotting of Lawrence Kasdan’s uniquely structured seven-act screenp

-Framed by a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading the story to his grandson (Fred Savage), The Princess Bride briskly moves from scene to scene in an escapist adventure anchored by such wonderful actors as Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, and André the Gi
+Cartoonishly evil Nazis are practically a tradition of heightened World War II fiction, with Raiders of the Lost Ark featuring its famously occult-obsessed members of the Third Reich. As delightfully villainous as Major Toht and company may be, their characterizations still ignored the inhuman ideals that real-world Nazis belie
-The name might have something to do with the chaos that has descended upon Akrasia in the form of aggressive demons and other intimidating monsters. The Lost Ark is all that can save the land from certain destruction. Thus, players must seek it out it as the ultimate achievement in the g

+The best part of this deck is the three-piece bonus: recovery items are 15% more effective. This makes potions and other recovery items much more potent, mitigating the downsides of the Cursed Doll Engravings alongside other regen-reducing effects.

-Even though the game hasn't gone international yet, that doesn't mean that the gaming community isn't aware of Lost Ark . It has already been available for play in Russia, South Korea, and Japan for more than a year, and gamers on this side of the pond are anticipating an imminent release in North Amer
+We're looking back at a movie that came out 40 years ago and has had such an impact. When you hear that movie name, what is the thing you think of? Do you think of the shoot? Do you think of the reception it got? What is the one memory that you take from this mo
-I don't take one. It's a whole lifetime wrapped up in it. I had a dear friend of mine brought up to Tunisia who came with us; got him a role in the thing, he was an architect? I was with my future wife. It was just a great turning point in my life. Apart from its theater, its cinema history, its movie history - which is really important. I think it's changed - though not always for the better - the course of action-adventure films. But for me personally, it was a waters
+Munich , Spielberg’s cinematic retelling of Operation Wrath of God, the Israeli government’s response to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, opens with an intricate tracking shot that frames each of its components perfectly. It opens on a gate, then two hands appear on it and a man climbs up to peer over. When the rest of his group arrives, he drops from the gate to join them. This is all conveyed through camera movements and angles, courtesy of cinematographer Janusz Kamiń

+Indy is a stereotypical man’s man, someone who’s so manly that even as an academic his forte is punching people. Because he’s the hero, he gets away with casual misogyny, violence, and has to heroically dodge women’s affection (ex. One of his students). This doesn’t make him terrible, but his example is better left in the confines of cinema and mythmak
-The script featured an elaborate scene involving the goon chasing Jones through the streets of Cairo, but since almost all of the crew members had gotten food poisoning, Ford suggested he just shoot the guy instead. The actor playing the swordsman had apparently practiced for months for the scene, but unfortunately for him, he was killed off in a matter of seco
+When they first meet in Raiders of the Lost Ark , Marion yells at Indy for taking advantage of her when she was "a child." She was being literal, as the novelization confirms that she was 15 when she slept with Indy – who was in his ‘20s. Legally speaking, that's a huge no-no. Worsening this is the revelation that Indy left her on their wedding before Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , further sullying Indy’s reputation among f
-First of all, Lucas needed a $20 million budget, wanted most of the control of the film, licensing, and sequel rights. Studios also didn’t want Spielberg to direct because of his flop 1941 starring John Belu
+John McTiernan’s Die Hard is the perfect action movie. Bruce Willis’ everyman underdog portrayal of John McClane makes for the quintessential action hero , while Alan Rickman’s delightfully theatrical performance as Hans Gruber makes for the quintessential action movie vill
-One of the most iconic scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark is when Indiana Jones steals the Golden Idol and triggers booby-traps in the temple. One of these traps was a giant boulder, which Indiana Jones barely escapes. While you would think they would have used a stunt-double here, it was actually Ford himself who had to outrun the prop, which weighed over 300 pou
+With explosive cinematography and action-driven storytelling and characters who never have to worry about reloading, John Woo has become arguably the most revered action filmmaker in the world. After making a few movies that glorified gangsters, Woo decided to make a movie that glorified the pol
-Cards are an underappreciated aspect of Lost Ark's gearing endgame. These collectibles can be obtained from just about every activity, granting everything from small stat bumps to full damage conversion when you create a deck of cards. We'll be going over what Card Decks are, how they differ from Card Books, where to obtain cards from, and some good Card Sets you should keep an eye out
+The love interests in Indiana Jones movies have been a bit hit-or-miss over the years, but surely everyone agrees that Marion Ravenwood is the best of them all by a wide margin. As heroic and fun as Indy is, Marion is just as entertaining and a true badass in her own ri
