Non-Stop

Since a bought a Roku 3, it's a lot easier to download movies and watch them - I mean, it was easy on the Apple TV, but not really. Not like on the Roku - it's much more plug and play and I love that. So right now I'm watching Non-Stop with Liam Neeson and a TON of other people - including the poor guy from Pennsylvania who was murdered on House of Cards and Julienne Moore - who I have recently decided I don't hate as much as I used to. I generally hate a lot of women on TV without a lot of reason for it, so I'm trying to get better. Anyway, Liam Neeson pretty much sounds like Batman but he doesn't do bad movies, so I have high hopes.

The kind of annoying thing is that there isn't much that can be done in a movie on a plan. I mean, Snakes on a Plane, Flight, Red Eye, Airplane!, Con Air, Air Force One - it's pretty slim pickings to come up with something original. So far, Liam Neeson is an air marshal who gets a series of texts saying that one person will die every 20 minutes and Liam Neeson of course gets framed for the whole thing. It seems unlikely that he wouldn't be able to figure out who it was. But he doesn't, so that's awesome. But it is something a little bit different - the guy from House of Cards was really fantastic and although it always seems like Liam Neeson is acting horribly, he's actually really great and very believable.

I am never able to figure out the endings of movies, except for this one. Or, at least I was able to figure out who it was pretty easily. Unfortunately for this film, the terrorist who hijacked the plane was the son of a man who died on 9/11 and then joined the military to protect his country. Blah blah blah. I'm so sure that you would hijack a plane after your father was killed by a hijacked plane - that was kind of a bummer. But using the air marshal to get the bomb on the plane was really smart because they don't go through security... or least they don't in this movie. I'm pretty sure they do, but whatever.
