Warriors vs. the Baseball Furies, the domination is staggering and hilarious:

I especially love that shot of all the guys on the ground at the very end, hahaha!


This has been one of my favorite movies since middle school, I couldn't believe it when someone said they were making a game out of it. Game is excellent as well.

That is a very cool scene! Great film.

I like Mickey rourke, even though he's kind of smug. Joe pesci too, shame he retired.

Joe Pesci is retired? I thought he has a film which is due out in a month or so.
I loved his work in the gangster themed movies- Goodfellas, Casino, and also Raging Bull.

Joe Pesci should have won an Academy Award for his performance in My Cousin Vinny. Matter of fact, that movie should have won Best Picture - one of the best flicks of all-time - certainly one of the funniest.

With a nod to the late Dennis Hopper, this week's "Monday's Obscure Movie Recommendation"®©TM.

Image

Red Rock West (1993) is a neo-noir film directed by John Dahl. The film was well received at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival, but deemed a cable and direct-to-video product by Columbia Tri-Star, which owned the North American rights. When Bill Banning, the owner of a San Francisco movie theater and a huge fan of the film, arranged for a theatrical release, the film gained a "buzz" and toured U.S. as an art-house hit.

According to RottenTomatoes.com, 95% of all movie critics gave the film a positive review.

Grossed a mere $2,502,551 at the box office.

Trailer...

For my money, Nicolas Cage is one of the best actors in the biz. Granted he's starred in some questionable money-grabs (Con-Air, Ghost Rider, Gone in Sixty Seconds), but his unhinged acting in offbeat, smaller pictures is about as good as it gets (Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas).

With that in mind, this week's "Monday's Obscure Movie Recommendation"®©TM...

Image

Vampire's Kiss is a black comedy (released 1989) about an emotionally unstable New York literary agent who lands him in bed with Jennifer Beals - a one night stand that takes a big, bloody bite out of his identity.

In short (and in my opinion) Nicolas Cage at his best!

Trailer...
