The World the Flesh and the Devil sounds interesting though.<br /><br />I really think you'd like the first half of WALL-E at the very least. It has the grace and wit of a lot of silent films.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507748677937404511.post-44993615751825000262016-01-14T18:59:23.852-05:002016-01-14T18:59:23.852-05:0028 Days started to freak me out and it was late so...28 Days started to freak me out and it was late so I stopped watching.

One day.<br /><br />Do I even need to say I haven't seen Wall-E? Well I've seen bits & pieces walking through the room when my niece was watching but that was enough for me, she loves it though.<br /><br />I preferred both of the earlier versions of I Am Legend to this one, the Chuckles one was a bit dodgy but the Vincent Price one was fun and Price a wonderful choice for the lead.<br /><br />As I said this genre isn't one that I love but I was able to come up with three that I liked and Heston plays a big part in one of them:<br /><br />The Planet of the Apes (1968)-The original story of a crew of astronauts who crash land in a world where a society of intelligent talking apes reign supreme. They are quickly taken prisoner and discover that humans are now subservient. Both cheesy and impressive at the same time with hambone Charlton Heston the exactly right actor in the lead.<br /><br />The Time Machine (1960)-At the turn of the 20th century H.G. Wells tells a group of friends of his time machine to their disbelief and one’s warning not to tempt the laws of providence. Wells ignores the advice and travels far into the future to find a sobering world populated by recessive humans called Eloi and strange creatures called Morlocks. This won an Oscar for its revolutionary time lapse photography. <br /><br />The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959)-Miner Ralph Burton (Harry Belafonte) trapped for a number of days in a cave-in, emerges to find himself the seemingly lone survivor of a nuclear holocaust. Traveling to the closest large city, New York, he finds it deserted at first but eventually meets Sarah Crandall (Inger Stevens) who has also managed to survive. They form a close friendship until the appearance of a third survivor (Mel Ferrer) and tensions flair. A three person chamber piece. <br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
