Go Team Go

Just when I was thinking "There ain't no good DVDs to see anymore" we got back-to-back homers in the bottom of the ninth. One about corruption in NYC (who woulda thought?) could've been about sanitation engineering (that's garbage collection) I suppose, but it was about crooks in the train parts business. All-star cast in "The Yards" (2000 release) includes: James Caan, Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Faye Dunaway, Joaquin Phoenix. All straight A+s for dose guys. Ellen Burstyn, giv'er an A too. Problem was, the library copy was ruined right where the crux of da movie took place. I think Joaquin (Willie) did the deed though. All dese guys did dose accents great, weze loved it.
And before that we saw "Truth or Consequences, N.M." (1997), not quite as all-star a cast but not shabby neither. Kiefer Sutherland stars in a great directorial debut. Vincent Gallo is great. Rod Steiger too cool. Martin Sheen as Sir gets 'er done. Boy his kid's a mess though ain't he? Now he didn't just mess himself, he put 300 coworkers on the unemployment line (who work on his TV show) while he goes to Club Rehab.

So anyway, we tie the game in the bottom of the ninth with those back-to-backs and we feel pretty good about it with "Zodiac" (2007) comin' up. Robert Downey, Jr., Jake Gyllenhall right? Downey had straightened up by the time that he took this role, but he still could play a screwball pretty good.
So we're lookin' for one more long one and we're goin' home a winner, but there's two outs. Well, like Mighty Casey "Zodiac" struck out. Well we'll get 'em in extra innings.
Funny, all three of these got 3-4 stars, but I don't think so. I like the first two.
