Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Flight" Rated R

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies:  "Flight"  Rated R for nudity, profanity, drinking and drug use
Dir. Robert  "Forrest Gump"  Zemeckis
Characters/Actors: William Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington), Bruce Greenwood, Don Cheadle, John ("Barton Fink") Goodman,Melissa Leo, Nadine ("My Name Is Earl") Velazquez, etc.

       After a night of heavy drinking and cocaine indulgence, commercial pilot Whip Whitaker flies a jet plane while intoxicated, but he manages to save over one hundred passengers by flying upside down. Since six lives were lost, including two flight attendants, there is a federal investigation of the plane crash. If it comes to light that Whitaker drank just before he flew he could spend several years in prison. His union rep. hires a lawyer to get Whip out of trouble, if only Whitaker will stay sober at least until the investigation is finished. For a short time, after his lady friend dies in the crash, Whitaker pours out all of his liquor and beer, but as with most drunks he soon makes up for lost time. Whitaker lost his former wife and son due to his drinking. While taking a smoke break at the hospital where he is recovering from injuries from the crash, he meets a woman who is struggling to recover from a serious drug addiction. She gets clean, while Whip is still in denial about his problem drinking. I enjoyed this movie, but the heavy drinking kind of made me cringe.

  I love your auburn hair,/But you don't seem to care/ When I call you on your cell/ You ignore me and make me feel like hell...


"I paid my rent"

I paid my rent and sent it in/ I stole your car and took a spin/ It didn't make up for my bad sin/I shaved and then I cut my skin/ I try so hard but cannot win... (tbc?)

         "Celebration of Election Results"

          The people have spoken
           They made a good choice
           Hell no! to Romney, they said with their voice
            We'll still have our troubles
             We'll still have our woes
            But the right-wing agenda has got to go... (tbc?)

      "Unrequited Infatuation"  A work in progress

           It oft starts with fascination
           Which quickly turns to unrequited infatuation
            A nightmare which is sweeping the nation
           Your affection for her never goes on vacation
            If she will date you it turns to elation... (tbc?)

Poetry: "There Is No God, THere's only us"

Poetry:  "There Is No God, There's Only Us!"   [Note:  "There is no God. There's only us"  was a quote from the recent SYFy Channel movie  "Rise of the Zombies" and was uttered by a character played by Mariel  "Star 80"  Hemingway. ]

          There is no God!
          There's only us.
           No need now to make a fuss.
          Only the few should earn your trust
          When in pain you can always cuss.
           When you die you turn to dust.
           And noone cares if you miss the bus.

Poetry:  More about  "Unrequited Love"

            Unrequited Love is a horrible bitch
             Who hits your privates with a rattan cane switch
             Makes you want to scratch what you itch
              Or throw yourself in a bottomless ditch
              And can break your heart that no doctor can stitch... (tbc?)

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Sinister"

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies:  "Sinister"  Rated R for Violence and Horror

      Characters/Actors: Ellison Oswalt(Ethan Hawke), Fred Dalton Thompson, etc.

       An author named Ellison Oswalt moves his family into a house where a horrific crime occurred, hoping to write a future true crime bestseller. Oswalt  comes across a box of home movies in the attic. The films show several slaughtered families both before, during and after they are murdered. After a while, he notices a strange figure in each of the films. Soon bizarre things happen or appear to happen to him and his family: a wife who is less than thrilled that they are in this "murder house"; a son who experiences night terrors, and a young precocious daughter who starts drawing weird drawings of the murder victims. THe author is on the verge of madness after experiencing the supernatural.  One of the best horror movies I have seen since  "Drag Me to Hell".
