I'll Take This "B" Movie Over A Coma Anyday

I've seen hundreds of Sci Fi/Horror movies over the years. This is one of those you'll wonder whether you've watched it or not a few years down the road. You just can't remember.

All in all, I figure it's still better to watch a so-so Sci Fi/Horror movie than "Dances With Wolves" or "Evita". This movie will end up being non-memorable, but it's preferable to being in a coma.

Worst concert ever!!!

Slade Craven was definitely not on his game for his farewell concert. One of his strong points has always been his "stick-to-itivism" and single-minded, determined work ethics.
Imagine my chagrin as he walked off after a half hearted attempt at one song (albeit a great, great §?¢^in' tune!).
All that aside, Slade's gumption really ended up coming through in saving many lives by safely landing a very complex aircraft and averted an evil metaphysical event in Kansas.
Slade dropped off the radar(no pun intended) after this heroic feat, and I have heard rumors from fellow Slade fans that he has changed his appearance so that he looks more like his high school yearbook photo, and is now persuing the "sensitive singer/songwriter" school of music.
Any leads, anyone?

HEAVY METAL MADNESS

Casting Craig Sheffer in this third Turbulence movie is a little strange, considering he also starred in the second. What's strange is that in this one he's playing an entirely different character, and it makes me wonder why they used this mediocre performer in two movies?
Anyway, in TURBULENCE 3, we get the highly improbable scenario of a Goth rocker fashioned after Marilyn Manson who is going to stage his farewell concert on board a 747. Somehow, defying all logic, they've "redesigned" the plane to include this huge amphitheatre for the concert. The music is typical heavy metal, heavily laced with violent lyrics, and Satanic undertones. So it's not so unusual when a Satanic cult leader switches places with Slade Craven, the international rock star, and plans on hijacking the plane to Kansas (?) which is supposed to be the most evil place on earth (tell that to Dorothy and the Oz boys). This is pretty far-fetched stuff folks.
Anyway, the requisite nonsense happens with computer hacker Sheffer and FBI agent Gabrielle Anwar helping someone fly the plane after the captain is killed and copilot Rutger Hauer offs himself. (Don't want to spoil why Hauer harikaris or who the pilot is).
There is also a pretty good twist in the identity of one of the cult members on board.
For grade B entertainment, this movie will deliver and it does have a very effective performance by John Mann as the crazed Craven.
After viewing these three turbulent movies, my fear of flying has worsened. Terra firma! November 29, 2004
