Thanks for suggesting wording within the article.<br /><br />John, I meant to watch Apocalypto, but got side-tracked. Edge of Darkness… I can't recall if I saw that or not. I'm going to look that up. Those two aside, I think Ransom is my favorite followed by the Lethal Weapon series.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-65459320864530044322015-06-14T21:52:58.463-04:002015-06-14T21:52:58.463-04:00Enjoyed this column, Leigh.

Favorite movies, besides <i>Ransom</i>: <i>Signs</i>, <i>Lethal Weapon</i>, <i>Mad Max</i>, <i>Edge of Darkness</i>. If you want to see how good he is as a director, watch <i>Apocalypto</i> and <i>Braveheart</i>.John Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001712728130488485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-10389457749343388852015-06-14T21:41:01.447-04:002015-06-14T21:41:01.447-04:00I saw Mel Gibson’s ‘Ransom’, and, like you and Joh...I saw Mel Gibson’s ‘Ransom’, and, like you and John F, thought it outstanding. Have not seen any of his recent films. Without sounding holier-than-thou, he has a long way to go before redeeming himself in my eyes...if ever.A Broad Abroadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-29142635510685370562015-06-14T15:51:51.418-04:002015-06-14T15:51:51.418-04:00Well put, Peter.
