nixon carmichael So I've been watching Interstate 60 once every year or so since it came out and I can't believe how well it holds up.Essentially the film follows a man named Neal, played by James Marsden, as he is thrust into a bizarre road trip on his 22nd birthday.At its heart, I60 is an old school scifi/road trip movie, more in the vein of a twilight zone than it is Star Wars, which is to say not at all. The movie boasts a rogues gallery of talent from Marsden to Christopher Lloyd to Kurt Russell to Gary Oldman to Amy Smart to Michael J Fox, but this isn't a lot of flash and band, but rather more of a cerebral and whimsical storyline.Everyone that I've recommend this film to has hated it, each and everyone, which means that either most of my friends simply have bad taste when it comes to film or I'm insane.Watch the movie.

Asher Zeiger I had never heard of this movie and it just happened to come on while I was at home. From the very opening moment through the final credits, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The film continues to walk the fine line between real and fantasy, leaving the viewer guessing if it's a dream or not. Even the bits that are predictable are wonderful to see them happen anyway. The dialogue was very clever, and I found myself smiling the entire time. Seeing the may cameos by big-name stars like Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Kurt Russell and Ann Margaret was an added treat.I cannot recommend this movie highly enough!

Uriah43 "Neal Oliver" (James Marsden) is a young man who has come to a crossroad in his life. He wants to paint but his father, "Daniel Oliver" (John Bourgeois) wants him to work in a law firm. As luck would have it, while celebrating his 22nd birthday at a local restaurant, an individual of leprechaun and Cheyenne descent named "O.W. Grant" (Gary Oldman) offers him a chance to have a wish granted. But first he has to deliver a package to an address on a non-existent highway named Interstate 60. What follows is a multitude of temptations, trials and lessons which have severe consequences depending on which choices are selected. Both Gary Oldman and James Marsden perform very well while Melyssa Ade (as his girlfriend "Sally"), Deborah Odell (as his lawyer "Valerie McCabe"), Amy Smart (as his dream-girl "Lynn Linden") and Amy Jo Johnson (as the nymphomaniac "Laura") all add nice scenery along the way. Likewise, Ann-Margret (as "Mrs. James") continues to defy age. Be that as it may, there are several thought-provoking scenes and some light-hearted comedy as well. Even so, as good as this film was it could have been even better without the vulgar language and profanity. Why the writer/director (Bob Gale) felt compelled to include it is beyond me. Above average.

Mr-Fusion I'll say this, the great thing about "Interstate 60" is the cast. Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Chris Cooper, Gary Oldman, even James Marsden fits the main role pretty well. Then that chick from the Power Rangers shows up and steams her scene up all to hell. Same for the fine redheaded lawyer and Ann Margaret (total fox). And then there's Kurt Russell, who walks away with the movie (as usual). Dude makes it look easy.It took me a bit to figure out why I didn't take to "Interstate 60", but here it is: it's hollow. Everyone's too good-natured, the mysticism gets old, and pieces fall just where they're supposed to. Happy coincidences feel manufactured. And by the end, everything's wrapped up with a pretty bow, tidied and orderly. And that's why I lost interest, way before the credits rolled. Not a bad movie, but ... not very good, either.5/10
