Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Add me to the league of Heston Apocalypse enthusiasts. I only wish there could have been more! (Heck, if the "Left Behind" movies had been made in the 70s, with bigger budgets and Heston in the lead, I'm sure I'd count them as guilty pleasures. Kirk Cameron cannot hope to fill such bombastic shoes.)

The first Airport holds up for me as an entertaining sixties soap opera with action/disaster elements. After that, the franchise went awfully cheesy quite fast, with Airport '75 being good mostly for laughs, and the rest close to unwatchable.
