Review: The End of Oak Street
The End of Oak Street is a big-budget Hollywood science fiction-survival movie set in 1982. It resembles several beloved movies from that period, particularly the early films of Steven Spielberg. In fact, the basic premise of the movie makes it resemble Jurassic Park (1993) as well as The Mist (2007), which is based on a Stephen King novella.
The movie was written and directed by David Robert Mitch

“I have something I’m working on,” Towne revealed. “A love story.” “Go on.” “It’s called Chinatown.” “Keep going.” “That’s all I have.” Towne elaborated as best he could. He told Evans about the water, about the detective who falls in love with the daughter of an eminent criminal, “and I have Nicholson. He wants to do it.” “Sounds perfect for Irish”—Evans’s nickname for Nicholson—“It’s set in Chinatown?” “No. Chinatown is a state of mind.” “A love state of mind?” “The detective’s fucked-up state of mind.” Evans was lost. “I see.” “But the love story is Chinatown too.” “But it’s not set in Chinatown?” “No. Chinatown’s a feeling.”
