Wow. Two of my favorite and over-maligned movies debuted on the same day: Disney’s sci-fi epic, The Black Hole, marking their initial plunge into PG territory, and Spielberg’s ode to calamitous chaos and wonton mass-destruction, 1941.
You all remember the movie where Chuck Norris fought an ersatz Michael Myers to stand-off, right? It’s true. (That opening sequence especially gives the game away.) Worth a spin alone for the dramatic death scene of Stephen Furst’s Deputy Derpy, which finally pushes Chuck over the edge to put this unstoppable killer down for good.
