Savant | posted January 30, 2013 E - M A I L this review to a
friend Graphical Version  Reviewed by Glenn Erickson  At an
industry screening last November I heard an attendee remark that
none of the crop of Academy-ambitious Fall movies seemed to be a
dog... so far they were all good. Two nominee-hopefuls took a
spectacular disaster as their subject. I hope to be able to
review Juan Antonio Bayona's The Impossible when it arrives on
disc. It is also a pleasure to remark on Flight, a Denzel
Washington vehicle that's is the best movie Robert Zemeckis has
made in a long, long while. It's exciting, it's dramatic, it's
unpretentious.... and it doesn't use motion capture, a
technology that's proved a dead end for Zemeckis in some really
trying fantasy efforts. Flight has been nominated for Best Actor
for Washington and Best Screenplay for John Gatins. It had me
completely absorbed until the last couple of scenes, when it
doesn't wrap up a few loose ends. Bu
