In the Middle of the Night (The Rock)

Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and finding yourself alone in your friends basement! Watched The Rock, which is a very good movie, but no matter what film you put on, when the ambient lights go out and the only light being emitted is from the television screen, you find yourself quickly becoming a victim of The Sandman. Don't remember exactly what time I passed out but it is pretty funny when you realize you aren't home.

Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery do an excellent job in this film. Connery plays a jailed escape artist who is called upon by the federal government to alleviate a hostage situation at Alcatraz, also known as The Rock. What makes Connery so suited to aide the federal government? He is the only person who has ever escaped Alcatraz alive. Cage plays a chemical weapons expert working for the FBI, in charge of using his expertise to find the best possible way to prevent a nerve gas attack on the San Francisco Bay area. Filled with plenty of creative action, drama, and comedy, it is easy to see how a large diversity of moviegoers would like this film. Two thumbs up; both my thumbs.
