Airborne (1993)

To be fair this isn't a bad movie if anything it's actually pretty good but I do think it's a little disappointing. Let me say a few flaws about the movie. 1. There are times where I feel like i'm watching a commerical. 2. Some of the characters are just jerks for no reason other than to be a jerk. 3. Nikki is completely shallow. 4. Seth Green is like a girl in this movie. His hair is girly, he was wearing a headband when Mitchell was telling about Friday, and the scene where he was trying on different clothes. Well watch that scene with that girls wanna have fun song. Now that I covered what I don't like with this movie allow to talk about why I like it. While Mitchell's personality is on par with a Disney prince he's still an enjoyable character for the most part. The skating stunts are very good. The writing can be funny at times. The race at the devil's backbone was a really good race. It was a really intense race and the crashes looked pretty realistic. Although I was wondering why the devil's backbone went everywhere. What, is the garage part of the Devil's Backbone? Is the stairway part of the Devil's Backbone? Even your GPS would give up at this point! Also when Mitchell jump over the car? Unless your wheels are encased with Flubber, you just jumped the shark. Oh, I'm sorry, "Peppy." But don't let my words get in the way of the movie. Also the soundtrack was good. Either way it's 91 minutes of your life you're not getting back. This is one of those films that should be placed in a time capsule. I'm not saying it totally sums up the '90s, but it sums up how the media saw the '90s, and it's just every '90s cliché that existed at the time. In that sense, it's sort of a wonder. I don't know, but if you're looking for good generic stupidity from the decade where the band Hanson were popular, this would probably be your best bet. Take it for what it's worth.

I was watching this flick in a hotel room on HBO early in the morning and thought that it was some sort of parody at early 90s B comedies. Then I thought "there is no way that this is actually an early 90s comedy. They are beating me over the head with plaid and rollerblades and other 90s clichés." The I realized Seth Green and Jack Black were in it and I realized that it must in fact be a parody. WRONG! 1993 baby. This movie is so campy, but is so damn entertaining. It's like one of those songs that no one wants to admit they love, yet everyone loves it. Like "I Saw the Sign" or something. Check out this flick at the very least to see Green and Black early in their careers.

This is probably one of my favorite all time movies! I have been dying to buy it on DVD. I figured if you can find Aspen Extreme and Hot Dog on DVD, why not this one. But, nope...no such luck. I wish there was a place that you could send comments to about movies that so need to come out on DVD. Anybody know of any such "place" to recommend movies to be released on DVD??? Watching a young Jack Black and Seth Green in a movie together is pretty entertaining and the humor is great! Obviously this was before they were really popular!!! This movie was also made when movies had less killing and violence, and guess what! its still entertaining!!! Anyway, if you ever get a chance to watch this...I highly recommend it!

Quality movie by most standards. The skill level of the in liners may be out dated but the plot is timeless. The plot is as outdated as romeo meets Juliet but the approach is quite original. Boy meets girl, boy conflicts with girls family and the outcome will surprise the lot of you. During the entire ride until the conclusion you will laugh hysterically, (primarily thanks to jack black and Seth green) but you will also see the romance that can happen between two people and what it can prevail over. All in all it is a hysterical movie that you at least have to give a chance to. It is the beginning of the successful careers that both jack black and Seth green are now pursuing. Shane Mcdermott plays the lost, love struck surfer who won't let a foolish over protective shark named Jack get in the way of his true love.
