Flight (2012)

With "Flight," director Robert Zemeckis abandons his career path of creepy half-animated, half-live-ish movies and returns to what he does better, which is using his technical wizardry as support for live human beings on screen. He picked a fine one in Denzel Washington, and the great challenge of "Flight" is in getting an audience to root for a man who is despicable in virtually every way.

"Flight" is an excellent film, though my inability to sympathize with Washington's character remained a thorn in my side throughout the film.

I'll post a full review of "Flight" here soon.
