well said.
Every fortnight I have to point to another Rocktalker that Cliffhanger is NOT a climbing film, it's an action film. And one of the very best in the genre.
I watched James Pearson's repeat of Equilibrium. Not to take away from a great aachievement, but...it was REALLY boring! And I am part of the partisan audience.
