Outbreak

Dustin Hoffman, Cuba Gooding Jr., and the same lady from In the Line of Fire. In fact, I think it was the same director Wolfgang something or other who did The Perfect Storm. I don't know, it was really late last night, and I should've been asleep, and right now I'm even too tired to check out the all informative IMDB I often link to here.

The Perfect Storm

Clooney, Marky Mark - I didn't see it or read Sebastian Junger's book for a long time because I remember the storm so well, even though I wasn't long out of high school, it was even a stormy time in my life then.

Well done flick. Tough watching though. I remember doing a reading at that same church, St. Ann's of Gloucester, where they filmed the memorial service, and standing in that same pulpit as the actress playing the captain of the Hannah Boden, when my friend's Geoff and Heather Duval were married there in June of 2001.

It isn't the quoted scene I wanted to include but if you want to view a 2min24sec well done trailer that moves you emotionally, click here.

In the Line of Fire

Clint Eastwood

Thank You for Smoking

I saw this last year in the Brigham and Women's Hospital waiting for my best friend to get out of surgery. I haven't made an entry for a while so I thought I'd start putting in some backlog of films I have seen to fill in some gaps. I think I'd see this movie again. It's an interesting look at the tough side of the public relations business.

Cool Hand Luke

I never saw this film until I was 36, but that age old quote was hammered into my mind when I was a little kid.



It's a great line, definitely says it all about my issue with Jessica in Maine. I've thought about it many, many a time.

This movie is certainly worth writing more about. Has a lot to do with the 70's genre that helped make me who I am today, even though I can't ever remember watching it, I'm sure I did, back before I could even remember the difference from one movie to the next.

Second Hand Lions

Great Movie. It did get a little B-ish at times, but the 3rd and 4th times that I've seen this I find I don't see those flaws as much as I used to. There are some parts of this movie I really, really love, and despite some of the flaws I think this movie with Michael Caine, and Robert Duvall, actually places in my Top 10. - Yeah, it might be #10, but it must be in the Top 10, at least I can't think of nine others at the moment that I know would knock it into the Top 15 or 20.

I love the fight scene in the roadside cafe when Hub socks it to the four punks, and gives them a life lesson, then takes them home for a talk, some healing, a lion stalk, and a barb-e-que.

And I love the partial man to man that Hub has with the Kid after he wakes from sleep walking down by the pond.

I don't know if they have those scenes separated on YouTube, but I wish somebody would. I'd post them here, and watch them often enough to ingrain them in my head.

Oh, the film also stars Haley Joel Osment as the Kid and Kyra Sedgwick O'Neill as his whackjob, man chasing mother, with a bad case of "liabedis."

30minutes post posting;

Unbelievable, I guess I'm not the only one who liked these two scenes, because they're both posted on Youtube, along with the Trailer and a couple of pretty well done custom versions.

I haven't tried posting two clips into the same post yet, but I guess it's worth a try.



This scene definitely, although fairly poor in quality like the one above, captures the great quote, but cuts short of a really fun fight scene that I wish they'd kept.
