Yeah man, I wanted to see some Skyfall. Was excited to see Javier Bardem portray Julian Assange a creepy cyber terrorist. Was ready for a thinly veiled polemic on the Great Game as played by a dead empire. With explosions. But it wasn’t to be. Maybe I’ll see it some day, probably after the next one comes out.
So I saw Flight. It was good. Denzel is an airline pilot who enjoys drugs and alcohol. His plane starts falling apart and he saves everybody a bunch of passengers by getting real hardcore in the cockpit. The entire sequence is kind of awesome.
The rest of the movie is basically an After School Special about how drinking is bad. Also, while in the hospital recovering from his injuries, Denzel picks up a junkie who looks like a model but tawks rill suthern, with a little baby voice, and this casting bothered me. But probably an Oscar for Denzel, unless it goes to Daniel Day-Lewis’s squeaky-voiced Lincoln.
