Thanksgiving Movie Recommendation - Event Horizon

Posted on 11/23/2016 10:17:38 AM PST by Scythian_Reborn

If you're looking to chill out and watch a movie that will "stick with you" for months then I recommend "Even Horizon". This movie is by far one of the best Sci-Fi movies of it's time, though overlooked. I am posting the preview but if you're like me you should stop after the first 15 seconds so you go into the film not knowing anything about it. One thing I will tell however is that this film is deeply unsettling with a palpable sense of doom, and it's scary because of what it doesn't show you.

You should disable your anti-virus and popup blocker, then try the link yourself.

That last post was harsh and I apologize for it.
Please, stop posting links to malware infested pirate video web sites.

Nooooooooooooooooooo thanks.
That’s precisely why I use them. I thought everyone had at least an AV app running these days, and a pop-up blocker, either thru their browser or ABP.
Silly me.

If you have a copy of MalwareBytes, run it and see if you have any PUPS (Potentially Unwanted ProgramS) on your machine. Include Rootkits in the ‘search’ parameters. Select SCAN, Configure, All drives, Scan for Rootkits. It’ll run for a LONG time, but it will clean-off the bad guys.

If you meant to reply to PlateOfShrimp . . . he was jokingly referring to the Wizard of Oz.

I just bought the Event Horizon DVD for $3 on Monday. I already had a VHS copy. I think it’s excellent science fiction. Good acting with a good story. I liked the space ships. Plus it’s creepy/scary.

...Is Desperate Crossing playing on tv this weekend...

I can’t say for sure because we always enjoy watching it on DVD. I did find a link through a youtube video that redirects the viewer to a site thats ostensibly allows the viewer to watch it for free after a sign in process. Looks legit but I didn’t need to since I already have it in my collection.
While we are on the subject, let me recommend ‘The Crossing’ for a favorite Christmas movie. ( not to be confused with ‘Desperate Crossing’ mentioned above). This one is about Washington’s crossing of the Delaware and it is such a moving story that I never get tired of it.

Also grateful for THE CROWN recommendation.

Be careful opening that link. Others have had problems with pop-ups etc, but I watch stuff there occasionally, and haven’t had any attacks. Make sure your AV is running and updated, and AdBlockerPlus works. Let me know if you have any problems, and I will ask the AM to delete that post.

Any old John Wayne Western would work! How about Spencer’s Mountain?

I did just that yesterday, found two PUPS and removed them. All good. Watched the movie and loved it!

We are enjoying THE CROWN (two episodes so far.)

Fans of Downton Abbey would LOVE it.
