Gerard Butler movies don't usually fly well with critics. Nonetheless, I was curious where this PLANE movie would land with me. I even forgot it happened on the same night as the Golden Globes, but y'know what, it ends up being well worth my time. PLANE is the kind of movie that harkens back to …
Musings on the HFPA & 2023 Golden Globes + My Favorite Acceptance Speeches
Confession: I actually forgot the Golden Globes telecast was happening last night, so I went to a press screening of Gerry Butler's PLANE movie instead.
