Air

The other night Hubs and I decided to watch Air, the newish movie from beloved duo Ben Affleck & Matt Damon. Affleck directed the film and had a supporting role while Damon starred. Hubs snoozed during most of the flick, but not because it wasn't entertaining. It was quite late! But I kept watching. I love the Nike story, having read Shoe Dog, founder Phil Knight's memoir. Air focuses specifically on the inception of the iconic sneaker the Air Jordan.

The acting was superb by most of the actors, especially Damon and Viola Davis. The one pitfall was Affleck playing Phil Knight. I'm sure Affleck is an excellent director, but his acting is…unconvincing. With Damon and the rest of the crew I was transported back in time and lost in reverie. Not so much when Affleck took the stage. Still, overall Air is an entertaining and well done movie. I also loved the soundtrack and 80's vibes.

Get out the popcorn.
