TV: American Flyers

I watched American Flyers. This is one of Kevin Costner's earlier films. He has a cheesy mustache in this film. He looks really funny. The story is good, but a little sad. Kevin's character Marcus finds out that he has an aneurysm like his dad died of. There is nothing they can do for an aneurysm so once something happens to it, it's only a matter of time.  Marcus has a younger brother David who still lives at home. He goes home to check on him because he's worried that he might also have an aneurysm. Marcus is mad at his mom because he doesn't feel like she was "there" for his dad in his final days. She was in the apartment but she escaped to her room because she just couldn't watch her husband die, and Marcus is mad at her because his dad was calling for his wife. So, he can't spend more than a minute with his mom before he starts arguing with her. But, she is also worried about David. He is having some random dizzy spells and has lost a lot of weight. Marcus takes him home with him. He is a sports doctor and he takes David to his clinic and gives him a tour and then threatens him with a torture test (treadmill) and then gives him an MRI. He gets a clean bill of health. Marcus doesn't tell his mom or David that he has an aneurysm. David and Marcus love to ride their bikes. They practice riding all the time and they go to contest called Hell of the West. There is a little bit of nudity and a little bit of bad language in this movie. The story is very good. There are some very strong emotional parts. There is sadness, danger, patriotism, anger, excitement, love, and a little humor. David is played by David Grant.
