Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English The year is 2006; America has released a nuclear bomb on Taiwan leaving only Australia in its wake. A small crew aboard a U.S. Navy submarine led by Commander Dwight Towers (Assante) manages to survive the devastating blast, but it isn't long before they're forced to place the vessel under the Australian government's command. They're assigned a life threatening task; to enter radioactive waters and find an insane scientist (Brown) who's been in solitude while waiting for what he believes to be the final "end." Before the mission begins, the commander meets the scientist's beautiful ex-fiancée (Ward), to whom he immediately takes a liking. A romantic liaison ensues, but the mission at hand threatens their love, and the lives of the entire crew. A remake of the 1959 classic based on the novel by Nevil Shute.

This is the only Grant Bowler video. On The Beach Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   MUST SEE FOR ALL
This movie is basically "where it's at", it could really happen. It's a heart wrencher, and I feel especially for all those in at least high school this should be required viewing. Perhaps then, it might wake up some people as to what is going on and make them think. Movie is well done, as well as what could very well happen to us all.

 Great Drama
Never saw the original, so I can't compare. However, I think its a clever storyline as the it explores the possibility of self-annihalation from the constant threat of nuclear weapons. Nice change from the usual million dollar hollywood productions you see on the big screen. Has a wonderful cast, and realistic storyline which we can relate to even in the 21st century. Definitely worth watching.

Comedian Jeff Dunham teams up with loud-mouthed pals Bubba J, Peanut, Jose Jalapeno, Walter, and Sweet Daddy Joe for a live act showcasing all of his standup and ventriloquist talents.
Jeff Dunham blends the age-old craft of ventriloquism with the modern art of snark in this hilarious comedy concert. Recorded live in 2006, ARGUING WITH MYSELF features Dunham playing straight man to a team of unruly, irreverent puppets: Sweet Daddy D, a smooth-talking Pimp; Jose Jalapeño, a smooth-talking pepper on a stick; Bubba J, NASCAR’s biggest fan; and Walter, a dirty old man with a hilarious sneer. Dunham and his foam friends riff on race, politics, and relationships, proffering banter so quick-witted you forget there's only one sentient being on stage.

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham hits the stage with hilarious new pals Achmed the Dead Terrorist and Melvin the Super hero, as well as old favorites Peanut, Walter, and Jose Jalapeno, in this sidesplitting performance at Washington D.C.'s Warner Theater.
More than just a stand-up comic, Jeff Dunham is a one-man comedy troupe--a ring-leader in a circus of snark. The veteran ventriloquist may be the only one with vocal chords, but he’s often the least vocal, playing straight man to a steam trunk of personalities: Achmed the Dead Terrorist, a goofball skeleton still fighting the infidels; Peanut, an odd purple creature with a fast mouth; Jose Jalapeño, a smooth-talking pepper on a stick; Bubba J, NASCAR’s biggest fan; and Walter, a dirty old man who speaks his mind. Together with his hilarious and irreverent puppets, Dunham riffs on everything from politics to family life, and slays the audience with his quick-witted banter. SPARK OF INSANITY features one of Dunham’s funniest performances, recorded live at Washington D.C.’s Warner Theater.
