Movie review: Flight

Last night we watched Flight.

An airline pilot saves a flight from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling. source IMDB.com

The movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes. The first 20 minutes were very promising.
Airplane rolling and crashing, Denzel Washington as a bad ass character and let's not forget the completely naked stewardess in the opening scene (bonus for Husband ;-)

But from minute 21 this movie was boring, boring oh and did I mentioned it was booooooooring!
It even has a storyline on the side that is completely unnecessary. Who cares about the drug addict? We didn't, then why did Denzel?

We only watched the whole movie because every 30 minutes or so John Goodman showed up. He was amazing and funny!

If you have 2,5 hours to spare in your life I wouldn't waste it on Flight.

ps: even in the trailer the sideline story isn't shown, although it takes up at least 30 minutes of the movie.

Movie review - extremely loud and incredibly close

Whenever there is something on television that has to do with 9/11, I just have to watch it.
I automatically put down the remote and start watching. Some documentaries I have seen more than once, but it seems like I still don't understand what I'm seeing or hearing about the horrifying events of that day.

So I had to see Extremely loud and incredibly close

A nine-year-old amateur inventor, Francophile, and pacifist searches New York City for the lock that matches a mysterious key left behind by his father, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

A young boy (played by Thomas Horn) on a quest to find belongings of his father. A mother (played by Sandra Bullock) who grieves over the death of her husband, the boy's father (played by Tom Hanks)

Throughout the movie flashbacks show how family life was before 9/11. They also reveal bit by bit what happened to the boy's father on that terrible day.
