David McK (3663 KP) rated The Day After Tomorrow (2004) in Movies
Nov 20, 2019 (Updated Aug 3, 2025)
This is his 2014 disaster movie that, taking climate change as it's starting point, has entered the popular vernacular - "it's like the day after tomorrow out there" - and, until the movie 2012 came along (I'm typing this in 2019) also must have held the record for portraying natural disaster on the big screen.
The main focus of this one is on both Jake Gylenhall and Dennis Quaid, with the former becoming trapped in New York when a series of natural disasters leads to a new ice-age leading to the latter (who, natch, is an experienced climatologist) to trek has way across the frozen North America to rescue his son.
David McK (3663 KP) rated Ghost Town (2008) in Movies
Oct 19, 2025
I have to say, though, he is perfectly cast here as an misanthropic Englishman in New York, who finds - after a medical procedure gone wrong - that he can see and communicate with dead people, all of whom have a favour to ask.
In particular, Greg Kinnear's cheating husband who is trying to break up his widow's (Tea Leoni) new romance.
Predictable hi-jinks ensue along a predictable well-worn path, until Gervais' dentist Dr Bertram Pincus learns the error of his ways and how life is meant to be lived.
