Remember back in the 90s when white people could be terrorists too?
I don't have much to say about this one. I think it was really popular? Didn't think it was bad, just not really my thing. I think Cory liked it better.
Cory says...Yes I did it is good times. I was sad to learn that you can't make animated gifs with sound cuz I wanted to make two from this movie. The first would be when n.c. says he is a beatlemaniac, and the second would be when connery and n.c. both say "it's a grunge thing." Not a great movie, but not amos and andrew either.
Con Air (1997)
You know, for all the shit I talk about action movies, I actually kinda dig this one. I mean, it's totes ridiculous...but I think that as long as you are able to completely ignore what is possible in reality and just accept this movie for what it is, you will be adequately entertained. Nic's hair is pretty atrocious but in a funny mullet way...not in a greazy sleazy way like in Zandalee) and he is kind of endearing as the soft-spoken good bad guy. I also really like John Malkovich...and of course Steve Buscemi (although it is totez lolz that it is supposed to be a good thing when at the end he, a mass murderer, remains free to live a supposedly changed life). Oh yeah, and John Cusak is his regular cute John Cusak-y self. All in all, a pretty fun time. And thanks to Top Drawer thrift store's 50 cent movie shelf, I now own it on VHS.
So, happily Nic seemed to be able to recover from the disastrous releases of 1994 with the Kiss of Death, and then stay reasonably afloat with the Rock, and Con Air. Oh yeah, then Face/Off after that. None of which are my faves, but all of them are much, much more respectable additions to his repertoire than those of that dark year.
You never know what you're gonna get with this guy.
