Blog Pick Week #30

 

   Sometimes the lead actor in a film is enough for people to go and see the movie. They can have that star power that brings in the audiences without doing any promotions. This was the case when I went out to catch this film last year. This week our pick is the 2012 Academy Award Winning film "Flight".
   "Flight" stars the incredibly talented Denzel Washington, playing "Whip Whitaker", the substance abusing commercial airline pilot. High on cocaine and alcohol, Whip encounters a life and death emergency up in the air, when the plane he is piloting malfunctions. Quick thinking and raw talent could be the only solution to the dilemma, and landing the plane safely is only the beginning of the battle for Whip Whitaker.
   "Flight" was directed by Academy Award Winning Director "Robert Zemeckis", and starring Academy Award Winning Actor "Denzel Washington" (who also was nominated for this role). Beginning with the edge of your seat plane emergency sequence and all the way through to the end, "Flight" was a thrilling film. Not many actors could elevate a film like Denzel Washington can. "Flight" was a film that if it had starred a different actor, I may have never seen it. Until next week happy viewing.
