My Mom Reviews Movies She Sorta Watched

I had breakfast with my parents today since they both got the day off (I'm not so lucky).  My mom tried to explain movies they've seen.

Hurt Locker

Mom:  It was like a war movie where they go around unplugging bombs.
Dad:  It was "like" a war movie?
Mom: Yeah!
Dad:  No it was a war movie, and you don't just "unplug" a bomb.
Mom:  Yeah that's what I said it was like a war movie and they unplug a bunch of bombs.  Have you seen it?
Me: No but I saw the trailer.
Mom:  Did you see all the bombs they unplugged?
Dad: They don't just unplug the bombs!

Air Force One

Mom:  Okay so this guy's president and they're in the plane and they start shooting holes in the plane but the air masks don't ever come down.
Me: (Just wanting to keep her going) Who played the president?
Mom:  That one guy, um, I think he was in that tomb movie.  Tomb-Something.
Me: Tomb Raider?
Mom: Yeah!
Dad: That was a chick.
Mom: No not Tomb Raider then it was that other Tomb movie...Raiders of the Lost Temple or something!
Me: Harrison Ford.  He was Han Solo.
Mom:  Yeah Han Solo was the president and the air masks never deployed when the cabin pressure dropped and nobody ever had a problem with getting sucked out of the plane.
Dad:  They dropped to a lower altitude so they could zip line.  Besdies it's not like all military fighter jets have oxygen masks.
Me:  Actually they do.
Mom:  Well yeah in the end they get off the plane and the masks never drop down.

The Godfather Trilogy

Mom:  It was a trilogy?
Dad:  Yup.
Mom:  Okay well it was about these wives and they didn't know their husbands were mobsters.
Me:  I think that's Goodfellas.
Mom:  No no no this one they thought they were garbage men or something.
Dad:  That's Soprano's.
Mom:  Oh okay well this one they were pretending to be Christian or Catholic or something...
Me: Same thing.
Mom:  Yeah but they weren't because they were bad and they go to weddings and stuff and this one guy has grapes in his mouth.
Me:  Grapes?
Mom:  Yeah he talks like he has grapes in his mouth the whole time and he sits behind a desk and tells people what to do.  Then there's a horse head in a bed which really freaked me out and a bunch of people get shot.
