Con Air
- Commentary: Under construction.
Yes, yes, yes! I love this movie! I have for well over a decade. Surprise, surprise, so did Mom! I think she liked it because it was so kinetic and colorful. As well, as I recall, except without direct quotes (it's been a long time since she and I saw it), she loved the individuality of the characters, their daring, and their moxy; that's a word she would have used, although I don't remember her using it, specifically, after watching this film. I also remember that whenever we watched it, during the final credits roll, she would sit back with a wide, satisfied grin and say, "I like that one! We should get it." We never did, but, at that time, during her last 11 years, it was somewhere on TV whenever either of us thought of it. Not so, of course, now. But, I was reminded of it last night when I suddenly thought of Nicolas Cage movies. So, it's on its way to me, right now.
I often think of Mom hovering around me, watching particular movies with me when I play them. If I'm right that she does that, she'll definitely be here this week when this movie arrives and I slap it in the player.
More later, likely.
