Flight of the Phoenix - Tuesday, December 28, 2004
My brother and I joined Raymond, Kenny, Minh, David, and Randall at the theatre to watch Flight of the Phoenix, a remake of a 1965 movie about a plane that crashes in a sandstorm in the Gobi Desert. The survivors get an idea to salvage parts from the wreckage to build a new airplane, but not without challenges from the treacherous desert, hostile raiders, and a paucity of food and water. It wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't bad. Of course you know what's going to happen in the end. But it had its moments. The movie reminds me a lot of the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks.
