Cult Classics BATTLE: LOS ANGELES And KRULL Now Playing On HBO Max
In what can be called movie geek comfort food, BATTLE: LOS ANGELES and KRULL have become cult favorites over the years. Why? You can watch either movie while doing other things keeping an extra eye on the screen, have devout fans who can recite the dialogue verbatim and will defend both movies to the end. Guilty pleasures, yes, cult status, definitely.
Even HBO Max has it listed as such.
The 2011 sci-fi and 1982 fantasy films have come to HBO Max and are available to stream now.
“Marines don’t quit.”
BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, starring Aaron Eckhart, and from director Jonathan Liebesman (WRATH OF THE TITANS), is the exciting story of a squad of U.S. Marines who become the last line of defense against a global invasion. It gets the military right than most war movies. Numerous Marine units assisted in filming (some scenes filmed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California) and the movie contains some awesome scenes with Black Hawks, Chinook, Osprey and Apache helicopters. Combined with a fantastic and emotional score (one that tears the heart and shows the brotherhood of Marines) from Brian Tyler (FAST & FURIOUS, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, IRON MAN 3), BATTLE: LOS ANGELES makes for a tension filled and thrilling entry into the sci-fi genre.
“That was some new John Wayne shit, Staff Sgt.”
“Only the king and his lord marshall have the keys to these manicles. You don’t look like the lord marshall.”
KRULL has achieved a passionate fanbase, marks the early screen performances of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane and is one of the first scores of composer James Horner, who prior to this film, composed the scores to BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS and WOLFEN. Horner is best known for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, ALIENS, APOLLO 13 and eventually won an Oscar for Best Score for his majestic work on TITANIC.
“A girl of ancient name shall become queen. And she shall choose a king. Together they will rule the world. And their son will rule the galaxy.”
If you are fan of film scores, check out Horner’s music on Spotify plus some of the great present day composers such as Jon Ekstrand (MORBIUS, LIFE), Steven Price (GRAVITY, FURY), Ramin Djawadi (PACIFIC RIM, ETERNALS, HBO’s Game of Thrones) and Sean Callery (HALO Series on Paramount +, THE MARKSMAN and the Marvel Netflix series “Jessica Jones”).
