Flight of the Phoenix, 2004

I did not think about how I was flying to Phoenix when I picked up this DVD. Or perhaps subconsciously I did. Strange.

Anyway, I did not have high expectations for Quaid. He came across pretty well in this one. Ribisi's Elliot character was a great match. A bit awkward at times, but I think that worked in well with the character. And I felt really good about Tyrese Gibson's character, but felt bad he was always walking in Quaid's shadow. And Hugh Laurie.... =) After watching several season's of House, it is almost relaxing to hear what I think is his real voice.

The film as a whole was ok. Very unbelievable at the end, but building up to it was good.
