Reign of Fire

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜
Produced in 2002, this film envisions a not-so-distant future where dragons once again roam the earth. All of mankind’s technology proves useless against the fiery army and the few survivors have reverted to living in castles for protection. Feudal tribes have formed as people struggle even to farm—until a hero arrives, challenging the locals to stand up and fight. This fantastical tale of man vs. nature, man vs. beast, and even man vs. man will cause you to stop and examine your own frail humanity.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“Only one thing worse than a dragon... Americans.”
“We’re going to London!” – “Good luck. It’s that way.”
“Oh, he's a Dragon Slayer. I suppose that would make you King Arthur does it?”

Whether you’re already having fun or if you need a laugh, this movie is always a good time. In 2005, deep-sea treasure hunters’ search for an American Civil War ironclad leads them into the middle of a Malian civil war. Their paths cross with a pretty doctor who is tracing a plague outbreak and adventure becomes inevitable. Toxic waste, Tuareg warriors, the CIA, camels, and lots of explosions are perfectly balanced in this romping cocktail of a movie.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
 “My dad collected ancient coins, from Rome, China, Siam, Persia... somehow they all ended up in a shoe box in New Jersey.”
“You know how it is when you see someone that you haven't seen since high school, and they got some dead-end job, and they're married to some woman that hates them, they got, like, three kids who think he's a joke? Wasn't there some point where he stood back and said, ‘Bob, don't take that job! Bob, don't marry that harpy!’”
“No, no, I only know how to say ‘I don't speak English’ in English.”
