Plus Mel Brooks is a thoroughbred racing fan! Used to see him once in a while at Calder with his wife, but since she passed I dont believe hes been back. However Shecky Green was showing up last yr quite a bit

I watched Mad Money on a flight to Vegas last year, and if parachutes were available, I would have jumped over Nebraska rather than watch the last hour of that movie.

I don't know what made me think of it, but Two for the Money was absolutely God Awful. It's the one where Pacino and McConaughey are football guru's/bookies. There was absolutely nothing good about this movie, even the football scenes sucked.

I actually enjoyed it very much because I like Matthew McConaughey and could relate to a lot of what the movie was about. It was a very lame performance by Pacino though. Man, his last few movies were even worse. 88 Minutes must be on any list of worst movies.

I loved the line Pacino said when describing McConaughey, his protege in the movie..."All he does is work out and pick winners."

I've seen Mel at Santa Anita many times in the last couple of years. He not much taller than the jockeys.

He's a genius, whatever anyone may think of the man personally his work is almost always very interesting and funny. Crimes and Misdemeanors is a terrific film. Marin Landau gives a brilliant performance.

Vanillia Sky was another atrocious movie. Penelepe Cruz is what got me through that one.

That might be his most underrated film.
It is certainly a good one.


Getting back to bad movies....Rocky V was pretty horrendous.

BY FAR it was Ferenheight 9/11 or however its spelled. That movie was so freaking terrible.

The whole theater started clapping at the end and I put on my best Philly face and started booing.

Moore = Anti American propaganda. it really sickens me


On another note, the only movie i've walked out on was moulin rouge. I'm sure a lot of people liked it but just not my cup of tea.
