Flightplan: Why no local reviews? I got to wondering...

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

...went back and checked, and sure enough, nada in the two Boston dailies or the four weeklies. Huh! Then I saw in Entertainment Weekly that the studio had not screened it for critics, and we all know what *that* means, so I went to Rotten Tomatoes. And there you may go too, to behold the rottenist set of reviews you'll ever see, I think. Typical:
"The movie imparts a fear of flying, all right -- but only because it reminds you of the dross you're usually forced to watch up there."
-- Steve Schneider, ORLANDO WEEKLY
In a quick scan I noticed only one encomium, from (wouldn't you know?):
"I do think this is a solid thriller for our times."
-- EBERT & ROEPER
EW ended up giving it a solid C.
So, what else is worth watching? Anyone seen March of the Penguins?...
