Movies

Love the couple that are at the hotel and keep getting exposed (no pun intended) to Cole’s ass. The way the dude screams is priceless.

And the single mother that takes her kid in for photos early in the flick - really nice rack there.

GO DODGERS!!!

Here’s a few more that I’ve just caught up on over the last few days:

Shutter Island - Leo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo both give very strong performances in a really dark and creepy movie and an ending twist I had NO idea was coming. Scorsese directed and well worth the two and a quarter hour plus that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Ex Machina - Not your typical A-I film with only three main characters the bulk of the movie, none of whom I knew or recognized. Fairly slow and a bit bizarre with another unexpected ending. Not bad, but not exactly great either.

The Legend of Bagger Vance - Matt Damon plays a haunted WW I vet from Georgia who was thought to be one of the best golfers playing. He returns to his home town a shell of the man who left and goes into seclusion, leaving his fiancé Charlize Theron in the lurch.

She inherits her father’s business and debt following his death and despite the Great Depression offers $10,000 to Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and her ex-fiancé to play in a tournament on her newly completed luxury country club.

He reluctantly agrees to play and hires a mythical caddy played by Will Smith to help him find his swing, his game and himself.

Another feel good movie that I highly recommend.

Perry Mason - new HBO series. Enjoying this one as well. The first episode was a little slow and confusing, but things have picked up significantly since and with only two episodes left, I still have no idea how it’s going to end.

His secretary Della is a lesbian and her girlfriend is Molly Ephraim, the little hottie that played the middle daughter on Tim Allen’s series “Last Man Standing”. I’m hoping for a scene with them “doing what girls do”, but that doesn’t seem likely. Maybe next season.

Hachi: A Dog’s Tale - If you’ve ever owned a pet you raised from a pup or kitten, get a box of tissues and check this one out. It’s based on a true story of a man and his Akita that stayed loyal to his owner even after that owner passed away.

Richard Gere plays a college professor that finds the little pup in a crate as he’s exiting the daily commuter train. Legend says that one does not choose an Akita - Akitas choose THEIR masters.

He and his wife take the pup in and raise it, but Hachi is a rambunctious little bugger and as he gets older insists on following Gere to the train station every morning.

He digs under or goes over the fence to see his master off and is then there to meet him every afternoon when he returns. Gere finally relents and allows Hachi to accompany him to the train station every morning and is there for every return.

As he grows older, Gere and his family attempt to “train” him - like fetching a tennis ball. One of Gere’s college associates is Asian and explains to Gere that Akitas cannot be trained in that manner and they will only learn and do things THEY want to do.

One morning, Gere goes to get Hachi for their morning jaunt to the depot but Hachi is apprehensive and agitated. He wants to play but Gere is running late and needs to get to his train.

Hachi finds the tennis ball and runs all the way to the station to catch Gere before he got on the train, like he knew this was his last chance to “please” his master. They play throw and catch for a few minutes and then Gere departs as Hachi makes his way home.

Gere later has a heart attack during one of his lectures that same day and dies. Hachi sits and waits all night for his master that will not be coming home.

Gere’s wife brings him home but he continues to escape every day to go to the station and wait on his master. She decides to sell the home and move out of state at the same time giving Hachi to their daughter and son in law.

Hachi continues to escape to the station every day until the daughter finally “sets him free”. From there, Hachi lives in the train yard and continues to show up at the station every morning and stays all day until all the daily trains have run.

The station manager and food vendors keep him fed and give him water, but no one can convince him that his master was gone. The wife returns to town a number of years later and meets back up with a much older Hachi at his spot outside the station in a definite Kleenex moment.

It is said that the real Hachi passed away himself in that same spot he sat and waited every day for close to ten years after his master died. The final scene will require more tissues!

Best gangster movie EVER. 

I assumed he died. Remember that he was surrounded. Would the other wolves leave him alone if he killed their leader? I honestly don't know. 

That one guy getting ripped apart after falling out of a tree was depressing. 

I missed that part. Thanks. 

One way to find out. Put an environmentalist in with a pack of wolves. 

A few oldies but goodies got another view this weekend.

Night Shift - a true classic with The Fonz (Henry Winkler) and a very young Michael Keaton in I believe his first co-starring role. I imagine most here have seen it, but damn - some REALLY funny stuff and great lines in this one. LOVE BROKERS!!!

On a side note and something I just learned the other night - the saxophone player on the subway that Winkler initially drops a few coins in his cup and then ends up writing a check to was played by his old co-star and friend, none other than Richie Cunningham himself, Ron Howard.

Foul Play and Seems Like Old Times - Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn at their best. She was quite a little babe back then and even though she was tiny and petite, she RARELY wore a bra in either flick.

Lots of laughs in both.

GO DODGERS!!!
