Motoflou Pushing Tin is the most realistic movie in the history of movies, and I know it for sure. Billy Bob Thorton is a shaman who has moved to a strange new place - no one knows where it is, it is a mystery - with his wife (in the movie and in real life!) Angelina Jolie. John Cusack is a hot young air traffic controller, his character probably has a dumb nickname or something. Like "Shoop." He's in that other movie where he runs a record shop. He suucks. Anyways, he is afraid of Billy Bob or something, he seems very insecure. They're always making mean faces at each other from afar, and saying one-liners at each other and stuff. They're too wussy to actually fight it out like a couple of bros. The airplanes almost hit each other sometimes, don't panic, it's all good.
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.
dixxjamm This is no cinematic masterpiece,no Lawrence of Arabia and no revolutionary groundbreaking movie-making, BUT anyone expecting that from this movie misses the point.It is very intelligent,deals with great issues,it's very good taste (my opinion,of course).John Cusack manages (as always) manages to tackle life's issues with dept and humor and is very well supported by the rest of the cast.I laughed my ass off at the way envy,love,relationships,characters,personalities and feelings were portrayed here.Don't want to go into detail,but I LOVED THIS MOVIE.The only thing that bothered me was the cheesy ending,but it was pretty short so I only took one point for that. As for the haters,this happens to almost all John Cusack movies (esp. comedies) and I think I know why.He's a bit arrogant and pretty much plays the same part in every movie,but he's a type of actor that I identify with (I think James Woods and Val Kilmer pretty much fall in the same category),intelligent,uncompromising,a bit cold and arrogant,complex. For what he's worth,he's always a treat.9/10.
