losing interest quickly
Added 10/17/2009
the first part of the movie was interesting but waiting for it to get to "uproariously contest of wit" as described on the DVD box quickly became tiresome. The plot was weak, the acting rather wooden. Even Jolie (fatuously) could not spark this one into a great movie. I wanted a pin to deflate those blubberly lips of hers. And the scene in the pilot's cabin? How ridiculous and fairy tale fantasy. I guess you have to love all the players in order to truly enjoy this one.

Good movie

Worth watching. Pay attention and you can see Anjelina's lips grow. Can you believe John Voight is her Dad?

Great for people curious about Air Traffic Control
Added 7/1/2009
Well cast (John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie.) A movie about a group of (New York / New Jersey area) Air Traffic Approach Controllers; The story development centers on their jobs and personal lives. Especially good for people interested/curious about Aviation / Air Traffic Control.

One of the worst movies, relative to its production values, ever made. It manages to turn an inherently interesting profession, air traffic control, into meaningless slapstick. Filled with overacting and painfully puerile writing.
It was sad to see A-list actors wasted on this dreck.

Pushing Tin 2009 DVD
Added 2/7/2009
I purchased this new release of Pushing Tin because the 1999 version was not Anamorphic widescreen and 2:31:1, very annoying on a widescreen monitor. I had hoped that the new version was being released in Anamorphic widescreen, but to my disappointment; it was not. Besides a few new extras, the DVD is EXACTLY the same as the 1999 version. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME BUYING THIS DVD AS I DID!
