Nice half hour doc featuring the comedy duo's encounters with the Universal horror stars and their joint series of successful film outings.
13 Days 2000 DVD
Thirteen Days is a 2000 historical film directed by Roger Donaldson about the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, seen from the perspective of the US political leadership.
While the movie carries the same name as the book Thirteen Days by Robert F. Kennedy, it is actually based on The Kennedy Tapes: Inside the White House During the Cuban Missile Crisis by Ernest May and Philip Zelikow. Most of the movie takes place in the White House, focusing on the decision-making process as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert confront the military, who are pushing for an invasion of Cuba as a reaction to the installation of missiles there by the Soviet Union. Most of the film deals not so much with the Cold War between the Superpowers as with the conflict between the civilian and military authorities over the correct strategy to pursue. The film is structured so that much of it is seen from the perspective of White House special assistant Kenny O'Donnell, played by Kevin Costner.
The 6th Day 2000 DVD
The 6th Day is a 2000 action film directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The action hero plays family man Adam Gibson, who is cloned against his will in the future of 2015. Schwarzenegger received a salary of $25 million for his role in the film.
In 2015, cloning technology has been sufficiently developed as to allow the cloning of human organs and animals but reproducing complete humans is explicitly forbidden by so-called "6th Day" laws, named from the day when God created man. Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger) is a pilot who runs a charter helicopter business along with his friend Hank Morgan. Michael Drucker, the owner of Replacement Technologies, a conglomerate that specialize in cloning, charters them for a skiing trip. Due to Drucker's financial and political influence, both Gibson and Morgan undergo blood and eye tests prior to his arrival to verify their identities and aptitude. On the day of Drucker's arrival, the same as Gibson's birthday, Gibson finds that his family dog has died, and Morgan offers to take his place as Drucker's pilot to allow Gibson to get his pet cloned.
