Way up a dry creek

The rules behind the physical world have always been totally baffling to me, but even an idiot like myself could figure out the screenwriters for "Sahara" could use a crash course in Logic 101. Here are some of the more blatant slurs against the laws of nature: 1) 150 years in the past, an ironclad ship, designed for river travel, breaks the Union blockade during the Civil War and ends up stranded on an African river. 2) Said river has now become part of the vast Saharan desert. 3) Flare guns and cannons that had been buried in tons of sand for over a century can still work. 4) It's possible to subsist for days in the desert -- on poisoned water, no less. The brain reels, man. Who needs recreational drugs when you've got "Sahara"?

Hey, that's hollywood for you! :lol: No logic is ever involved with the "hollywood" set. They will corrupt any good story. I gave up a long time ago for good story from them and just enjoy what drivel that I can put up with.

I can't actually tell whether or not the writer of that review actually liked the movie or not. I think (s)he did, but was too ashamed to admit it so the sarcasm is intended to mask any true feelings. Read with a certain angle, though, it's not too bad of a review.

The review actually looks good in a backhanded sort of way-just enjoy the movie and don't try to figure it out. That's what the book is for.

At least this guy is off the streets and in the cinemas watching Sahara for his fixes. :lol:

:lol: good one

I know you guys are diehard fans, and I'm just a lowly newbie, but lighten up. The cinema is entertainment created to suspend reality, so just play along...just my two cents, Judith
