John Travolta

I dug through my older DVD's this weekend and came up with a pair of John Travolta flicks. I thought both were quite good & would not hesitate to recommend either.

"Primary Colors" - Travolta, Emma Thompson, Bily Bob Thorton. A Southern politician's campaign on the way to the White House. Travolta does a great Bill Clinton in this one; the accent and demeanor is spot on. Thorton is quite funny as a James Carville type.....

"A Civil Action" - Travolta, John Lithgow, Robert Duvall, Bill Macy, James Gandolfini. John Travolta is an aggressive personal injury lawyer who takes on a case involving a very large corporation. The case gets drawn out by the defense and he ends up bankrupting his practice...... but in the process Travolta becomes a kinder, gentler man :-) Sounds kinda sappy, but its realy not a preachy-type flick. Great acting all around and a very engaging plot. Based on a true story also....

Tomorrow night I will be watching one of my favs starring Travolta - "Blow Out."

Until Pulp, Blow Out was his finest hour (and he~s had quite a few). nt - tinear 05:07:15 12/22/04 (0)

Yes - agreed, although I like Blow Out better than the Conversation. - PdL 05:47:46 12/21/04 (1)
