At the movies.

I’m not a movie critic, but recently I saw a movie that was made in 1995 called, “Two for the Money.” I had read the regular review then watched the movie trailer, and because of the actors who starred in the movie, I decided to watch it on my movie night.

Al Pacino, Renee Russo and Matthew McConaughey are the actors in the film. I  like Al Pachino movies, even though they most are pretty much the same. You know…a guy who sort of apprentices or does the bad deeds for higher up guys or thugs, drug lords, and guys who are so called, beating the system and are a unsavory, then gets into the greed of money and living the high life, and that is his downfall. Renee Russo is one of my favorite actresses, and I’ll watch anything she stars in.

This movie is basically about sports betting. A sports hero knows the inside story of the game and then has an injury and can’t play, then turns a pro betting person until greed and “the good life” takes over, but then ends up in the gutter. To be honest, I thought the movie as a B grade, even though the acting was good. The story line just didn’t make a person want to keep watching, but I watched because I wanted to see if it would pick up. Perhaps the book is better? It’s actually based on a true story of collage football player who had an injury and yet had an incredible handicap. He became a consultant of the largest firm in the United States.

Gonna snuggle in for the night!

Nooo Silly’s… NOT with a guy. LOL! (Course, I did have one in mind, but…I’d feel sort of obligated in a chick type way to do the shave the legs, wash the hair, yada, yada, type stuff that I don’t feel like doing.) I just got a new comforter which is totally cozy, hence my name for blankies and comforters I love. It’s still early, but I’m going to jump in a hot bath, then put on sweats, pull my hair into a braid and plug in a movie.
My “kid” sister told me I HAD to watch the movie called, The Illusionist. I’ve got a six pack and some munchies and this will be my Friday night. I’ll update on the movie. Have a great weekend all!
