The Review: 

Hmmm. I am case the movie review man. I reviewed air force one. Some of you might be saying, case, that movie came out months ago. To that I say, shut up, I had a paper I needed to work on, and my buddy's parents were out of town, and I had to play lots of basketball. Anyway, yes it's out on video already, but it's also a recent release, so take that you critical bastards. Well what I says is true, I've been up late hours working on my 12 page paper, so if I sound coherent and out of character it's due to that Air force one stars Harrison Ford (Patriot Games) as the President of the Untied States. Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction) is the Vice President, and the various array of consultants were nobody important. The president is out and about, hee hee, like that tie, he's out and about after hearing that a huge revolutionary Russian terrorist has been captured. To get him freed a group of other Russian terrorists get on the presidents little jet, called Air Force One, and wreak havoc all throughout the plane ride, and in case you were curious, no, the meals on air force one suck too from the look of it. I appreciated the originality of having it be Russian terrorist, because to me the idea is new. Just kidding. If Hollywood didn't have the Russians or the Muslims to make into hi tech killers, then I suppose we would be without many movies. Nevertheless, Air Force One is still quite entertaining. If you can get past the occasional action movie clichés, the entire thing is fun, exciting and high paced. It has the physical battle between Han Solo and the terrorist, the mental battle between Indiana Jones and the Vice President, and the family struggle of the fugitive. By the way where the heck is the guy with one arm now. That's right, these actors in Hollywood need to understand, you mess with Harrison, and you get your tail tossed right out of a career. That fella's got power like the mob, you know what I'm saying. From time to time the incredibly far fetched would occur leaving you thinking that the only thing he needed to battle next would be El Nino, but then there would be a cool explosion and everything would be better. Of course there were also those times when three hundred rounds of fire would rattle off with no major flesh wound, but like I said if you can get past all the things that couldn't and wouldn't happen you should genuinely enjoy yourself. What's better is that it's on video which means it's cheap, you can watch it when you wanna, and if the floors are sticky, all you need to do is change your hygiene. Oh, and my favorite part. I watched it and wanted a bucket of greasy, nasty, butter drippin popcorn, so I walked over to the microwave and tossed it in. Total cost, about 50 cents. So my advice to a lot of you college students out there, rent the movie, get a date, then you can put off all your papers and tests till the last minute like me, instead of worrying about some special show time and crowded theaters. That's until next week when I presumably go see a real movie in a real theater and take out another real student loan to finance it. Just one more quick note before I give the Harrison Ford picture air force one it's out and about movie review. This Saturday at gill coliseum the beavers menfolk will be up against the sorry ass ducks on Saturday at 3:o5. If you like basketball be there and cheer on the Beavs, if you don't like basketball, then leave the country, I hear Canada has room, so get out of here now, you are bothering me already, leave. Ok now for the rating, I liked Air Force One despite it's shortcomings as being totally believable and realistic. It was still a fun movie, and for that receives 7 couches, and a coffee table. That's it for this weeks movie review, reminding you if you're doing it wrong, keep it up, cause you're probably doing it Case-style!!
