Broadsheet Trailer Park: Flight

Six things you need to know.

1. Flight is the first live-action feature in over a decade from Robert Zemeckis, who did Back To The Future, then won a Best Director Oscar for Forrest Gump, then decided to ill-advisedly devote himself to making creepy motion capture pictures like The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol. That said, he directed Used Cars with Kurt Russell. So he gets a free pass.

2. Forget Clooney – Denzel Washington is THE only great movie star still in the game. So what if he spends most of his time collecting big paychecks for dodgy runaway train flicks? Denzel is the man.

3. Cinematic Equation: Stones on the soundtrack = Zemeckis getting his
Marty Scorsese on.

4. John Goodman appears to be channeling The Big Lebowski here. Not
necessarily a bad thing. The diet seems to be working, too.

5. DON CHEADLE! Don and Den haven’t shared the screen since Devil In A
Blue Dress
. Tasty.

6. Cinematic Equation 2: Bad Denzel = Always a winner.

BOTTOM LINE: Best in-flight movie since the last Final Destination flick.
