Military ensemble pictures work well when the excitement is all about the job and working under pressure: Charlton Heston, Stacy Keach, Ned Beatty and even David Carradine are excellent in this credible story about a near-impossible rescue of submariners trapped 1400 feet below. It’s a solid Navy disaster scenario, unusually authentic and realistic — until the dramatists require actor Ronny Cox to act like an emotional idiot. Those U.K. disc producers do it justice with some excellent extras, including a piece with a Navy specialist who worked with the rescue craft seen in the movie… and who later became a well-known film historian, author and film series organizer.

It took former President George W. Bush 1,205 days to reach a majority disapproval rating. Former President Barack Obama crossed that threshold in 936 days.
And President Donald Trump did it in just over a week.
The Republican, who was sworn in on Jan. 20 as the least popular president in at least 40 years, hit majority disapproval in a record eight days, a new Gallup poll of 1,500 Americans finds. As of Saturday, 51 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump.
Trump’s majority disapproval rating comes after a tumultuous first week in office that was capped off with his widely protested executive order banning immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Following the addition of Lupita Nyong'o, Marvel's Black Panther will add Michael B. Jordan, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively revealed Friday. The identity of his character remains under wraps, but sources suggested that he might play a villain. But … which villain? It's worth remembering that Black Panther already has one villain ready to be slotted into place: Ulysses Klaw, who was played by Andy Serkis in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, is part of T'Challa's comic book origin as the Black Panther, even if he has yet to be connected with Ryan Coogler's 2018 movie. Will Jordan's character work alongside

Following both the critical and box-office success of Ryan Coogler's "Creed," talk quickly surfaced of a potential sequel that would continue the story of Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed.
Around the same time Sylvester Stallone announced that he was retiring John Rambo from the screen and had no intention to play that character again, but seemed more open about potentially returning as Rocky Balboa for a "Creed" sequel.
This week, honored at the Santa Barbara film festival where his former "Rocky" co-star Carl Weathers presented him with the Montecito Award, Stallone sounds like he may have changed his mind. He tells Variety that his character's story may have reached the end:
"I really have mixed feelings about this, seriously. I feel like Rocky, at the end of this movie on the steps, with the help of a young man, and he looks out and says, 'From here, you can...

Plus, which ‘lucky’ girl will Jordan finally settle on: Mads? Laurel? Both? Read on for the answer!
Jordan may spend most of his time hooking up with girls in pools on The Lying Game this season, but Ryan Rottman assures HollywoodLife.com that his character is more than just a motorcycle-riding bad boy with flawless helmet hair. “He does have skeletons,” Ryan tells me. “And they’re definitely going to come out.”
Read on for my full Q&A with Jordan:
Let’s be honest, this show is insanely complicated? Did you play catch-up before you joined?
“When I first found out I got the part, I watched all 22 episodes in three days. It was funny because when I got there, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is crazy! Thayer and Emma?!’ It was cool, because it made me become a fan.”
Speaking of hookups, should we expect more from Jordan and Mads?...
