...supposed to be charming, but it is merely tiresome. Portman pouts prettily at Adele's all too predictable capers--naturally she forgets to pay the utility bills, misreads her daughter's dreams and that handsome orthodontist's intentions. But you can feel these beats coming--thump, thump--a mile off, and Wang's inert direction does nothing to enliven their inevitable arrival...
...course, to EgyptAir's maintenance) and sabotage by a third party raises questions about U.S. airport security. But criminal action by a member of the crew is an uncomfortable prospect for a country whose economy is heavily dependent on tourism.

That shifted the locus of the investigation - and most conspiratorial conjecture - to the cockpit, and the factors that might have prompted the crew to turn off the engines. But the "black box" tape of the pilot and copilot's last conversation proved...
...your fatigues and boots is to pass from geekdom to old-timer status, blending in with all the other purgatory cats, the ones stuck in this halfway house here, waiting to "ship out" to Basic Training, reportedly about a mile down the road.? It is a place we only imagine, wistfully...
