Con-Air

Who: Amber & Jonathan
What: Con-Air
Where: at home - on cable
Why: One of the greatest movies ever!

"This is your BBQ Syrus, and it tastes good."

"But the bunny back in the box."

I could watch Con-Air every single day, and never grow tired of it. I think it's the ultimate action movie! You've got your overtaking of the plane, fighting the bad guys at the airfield, and a plane crash in Las Vegas. Wait - it's not over yet, now we have a car chase in LA. And finally the bag guys are all taken care of ... or are they?!?

I really wish Nicholas Cage didn't have his ridiculous (southern?) accent, but he was sure ripped for this movie! And the rest of the cast was spectacular! One of the prisoners (Johnny 23) was an actual prisoner for 11 years, before he cleaned himself up and discovered acting. John Malkovich as the super smart ring leader is hilarious. And Steve Bushemi is just creepy. I think he gets uglier and uglier. I can't stop stairing at his crooked teeth.

Con-Air, and another Nicholas Cage gem - The Rock, should be required viewing for all!
