I must admit I have had a crush on Gregory Peck since my first viewing of To Kill a Mocking Bird. Although I was only 11 years old there is something about him that really does it for me. It is a little bit strange because I was 11 in 1988 and To Kill a Mocking Bird was made in 1962 and Peck was fairly old by then. And by old I mean in the eyes of an 11 year old.
But Peck is hot.
On the Beach is a pretty good movie, a bit dated but some its core concepts could weather in the new millennium.
The one thing that I really couldn't understand is why Australia was not in complete chaos. Everyone else in the world is dead they know it is just a matter of time before the radioactive winds sweep in, yet they were still conducting business as usual.
I guess it all falls back to how much knowledge of radiation poisoning prevention etc. I kept on thinking that I would be stock piling rations and preparing my underground bunker.
