There's a movie on right now at the Space channel called "Solar Attack", low budget movie. But it's all filmed in Hamilton and well Hamilton gets destoryed by the sun haha. They show a lot of Hamilton's landmark.

We've had a decent amount of A-list movies filmed in this city - not just direct-to-video movies.

What are you talking about? Tons of movies and television shows are filmed here, including big name productions with A-list actors.

BrianE · #73 Posted **Jan 3, 2009, 3:59 AM**

If it seems like 95% of the movies made in Hamilton are Z-list movies it's not a reflection on Hamilton. 95% of all movies made are Z-list. I swear, has anybody actualy taken a look at the steaming piles of crap that get made every year? Where people get the money for these movies? I have no idea...

I guess this Descent movie could be added to that list.

BCTed · #78 Posted **Jan 4, 2009, 5:05 AM**
