I’ve been flying quite a bit, but haven’t been finding too many airplane movies. If you remember the definition: something that’s maybe worth watching, but not worth saving to watch on a bigger screen. In the theatre, I’ve seen Black Bag and 2001: A Space Odyssey in IMAX (also saw this at the Hollywood Bowl […]
Also taggedWherein I review movies that I’ll watch on an international flight that I would be unlikely watch at home [1]: Renfield: The perfect role for Nic Cage’s hammy overacting. Maybe this is all of his recent ones. Dunno, generally have a very low tolerance for NC, but a friend recommended. It was okay. […]

The seat controls are right where your elbow hits, so they’re always getting bumped by accident. You still want to get the seats at the […]

They seem to have made a deal with the Broccoli family, so they have all 26 James Bond movies, and who really needs to see any of those again? But they do clutter up the lineup and take up all the […]

Airplane Movies 2024 (so far)
As you could tell from Airplane Movies 2023, I spent a lot of time on planes last year. A. Lot. Of. Time. All I’ve got to say about that is that having Black Titanium Card status [1] on United ain’t worth much. Sam Elliott did not come out of the cockpit to give me The […]
