Day 156 - A Sort of Movie Review!

Today I went grocery shopping with a friend and afterwards, we came home and watched Air Force One, which was an enjoyable but very silly movie that stole half the plot from Die Hard and the other half from some other movie that I can't think of the name at the moment.

But hey! It had Harrison Ford being all Indiana Jones/Han Soloish and Gary Oldman being all Russian and kissing little girls on their foreheads after giving a rousing soliloquy, so whoo! Is it bad that I kinda cried when the Russian pilot got killed?????

Please don't report me to the Secret Service!

My favourite bits:

- Gary Oldman! Sure he was the bad guy, but he made me feel for him so good acting on his part.

- The President trying to get pass the switchboard lady :)

- The black lady being all but what about the fax machines, Mr President and the President saying he'd make her Postmaster General :D

- The blond guy that ended up being co-pilot near the end of the movie. I liked the way he quietly supported the President all the way through - even to trying to get in Gary Oldman's way as he's dying.

- The pilot of the fighter plane telling the president he did good.

The only thing I would have liked is a small scene where the President is standing by some memorial with the names of Connie and all the other people that died. I think that would have added a nice emotional touch but meh, that's just me.

EDIT: Almost forgot! While I was watching this movie, I couldn't help wondering if former President Bush had watched it one too many times.
