Yes! You know my idea of the Mile High Club is to watch movies solely while at 30,000 feet. So yet again, I created my own movie marathon on a fairly large-sized personal LCD screen aboard a very lovely business class seat (Motto: every seat is an aisle seat. Really). My picks:
Vantage Point: this is actually not a bad movie. Shot fast, and with enough unexpected twists. Definitely worth watching. Even though it has ludicrous twists like the American president's "double" getting shot. Yes, I know - you can plumb the depths of the IQ charts and yet not find a double for W. Suspend reality, that's what movies are for anyway.
Cleaner: a fairly interesting drama with good acting. Many scenes look like Mr. Ebola directed them, so if you are queasy watching CSI, skip this entirely. Samuel L. Jackson is everywhere these days - he may just turn up in my Weetbix tomorrow morning. I strongly recommend this movie solely to drool over Eva Mendes. Now THAT is a beauty spot.
With Your Permission: a rip-roaring, if slightly disappointing-at-the-end Danish movie. Absolutely great cast, story and direction. Highlights the perils of skinny guys marrying plump women.
Re-investigation (I think that's the translation): a well built-up French drama. Loved the ending. Revenge, thy name is a six foot hole in the ground. Nice!
