AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
blumdeluxe "Pushing Tin" tells the story of a charismatic aircraft controller, who seems to have it all: Success, a beautiful wife and the respect of his friends. When a new controller enters the scene, all of this seems in doubt due to his aura and extraordinary talent, that soon finds the two of them fighting for the lead position in this game.I really have to say that this movie kept me entertained throughout all of its playtime. You really want to know what is about to happen and the producers very sensitively built up the conflict, in order to get the audience emotionally involved and keep the actions more or less plausible. Unfortunately, especially the beginning and the end of the film are very stereotypical Hollywood settings, with very one-dimensional winner-characters and a not so surprising happy end. In my eyes, there would have been potential for an even better film without this will to follow old paths.All in all this is a beautiful little film, perfect for a date night or if you want to get your head free. It takes its plot serious without touching big topics or leaving you depressed.
Johnny Comelately It felt like 8 hours and honestly I feel really stupid that I didn't walk out of the theater. I wish I could have that 2 hours of my life back as this has to be the worst major motion picture ever made. Save yourself as I would rather chew on tin foil in a cold shower then have to sit through this horrible movie again. There is nothing redeeming I can say about this movie, not even Angelina Jolie looking hot. I can't come up with one reason to watch this movie. The troops in Gitmo should show this movie to inmates but I am 100% confident it would be against the Geneva convention as it would undoubtedly be considered torture to have to sit through this movie.
Rockwell_Cronenberg Pretty standard fluff movie, there's not a lot to say about it. That kind of John Cusack mix of drama and comedy that I always enjoy, although something about it felt off. The main character is too hard to like, although I did enjoy Cusack since I think it's impossible for me not to, and none of the people surrounding him were very interesting or entertaining. The kind of thing that can keep my attention late at night before I go to bed, but certainly isn't anything special at all.They try to do some interesting things with the characters once or twice, the darkness of having that kind of job, but pretty quickly move on to something more conventional and easy. I have a firm dislike of Billy Bob Thornton, so I'm glad this focused almost primarily on Cusack and I think I got the most out of it that someone could. Cate Blanchett was strangely awful in it, though, and oh my god hilariously bad Angelina Jolie. Still, okay John Cusack movie and that was all that I wanted.
leplatypus Actually, the movie is about a cheating husband and this isn't the kind of movie that appeals to me. Those scum are already impossible to in real life so it's wasted time to make them "hero" of fiction. As I know one (a "colleague" of a dear friend), the portrayal is here accurate because those cheaters are indeed shining hypocrites: they benefit the distress of their "prey" to for kind humanitarian whereas they care only for their ego and libido! With no surprise, the movie is split in two parts: the exhilaration of cheating and after being consumed, the painful consequences. To anime this drama, the feminine cast beats their male counterpart: Cusack is a smooth actor (not awful, not genius) and Thorton rejoices my list of arrogant, spoiled irritating actors (with Pitt, Walberg, Farell, Foxx). unfortunately, Angie and Kate are underused.Finally, the movie is not really interesting: the good moments are actually showing the outback of New York and great planes animation flying over Manhattan and the WTC!
