Pope dead and movie on TV review

Yeah I know the Pope is dead but what about John Travolta's acting career? That's dead too...Again! Don't Be Cool. Be very worried. I just saw his movie Phenomenon on HBO today. Very undervalued piece of celluloid with, I thought, some subtle touches of surrealism. Fellini's Roma specifically comes to mind in a few of the scenes like when Kyra Sedgwick tucks in her daughter or when Kyra Sedgwick tucks in John Travolta at the end because he has a brain tumor the size of his shrine to scientology from being so fucking brilliant. Robert Duvall plays a small town doctor who forms a bond with the genius Travolta and stammers a lot especially when he has important news to deliver. Forrest Whitaker is also in the movie. No, he doesn't rape any white women. You're funny. And Travolta? I like it when he chuckles under his breath then looks away disarmingly with a smile. I think that's what his character would really do. All of them. I was also surprised by all the beastiality which in context makes sense but still.


Travolta is a bad dude and a pilot.
