I like him in only some of his films though I haven't seen MAD CITY. He makes a better villain than a hero.Prashant C.

I enjoyed his Face/Off; Broken Arrow, and Mad City. I thought the last movie was brilliant and he was very good too.neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-51237259473094271142012-09-28T00:23:29.314-07:002012-09-28T00:23:29.314-07:00Yvette, WILD HOGS is fun and there is never a dull...Yvette, WILD HOGS is fun and there is never a dull moment. I'm sure you'll love this film. Contrary to his screen image, William H. Macy is a riot in this one. He's good at comedy.Prashant C.

I saw BLOW OUT several years ago though I don't recall anything about the film. I'll try and catch it one of these days. It's the kind of film that the English movie channels out here would broadcast.Prashant C.

I'm not a huge fan of straight comedies but this had a lot of good stuff in it. You're right, Macy was the star.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-86006502805198360742012-09-25T08:28:47.123-07:002012-09-25T08:28:47.123-07:00Very inmteresting choice Prashant - this was a big...Very inmteresting choice Prashant - this was a big hit in tis day but I've never seen it. My favourite Travolta performance would probably be the one from BLOW OUT, a dark but brilliant thiller by Brain De Palma.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
