Crack
In case you think we're talking about drugs, we're not. "Crack"
means just for fun, from the gaelic word "craic".
Join the 2007 Mickey Cassidy's Golf Tour...
This great week of golfing and sightseeing
is only $1500 for airfare, hotel, several meals, ground transport
and five rounds of golf. Beer is not included--which may double
the price for some of you.
Inquire with Mickey at the pub or e-mail
him for more information on this great week of golf starting
September 16, 2007.

My simple
rating system is easy for you to follow. Films are rated from
0 pints (an empty glass) for the absolute bottom of the barrel,
up to an outstanding 8 pints (which makes a gallon if you
weren't paying attention during weights and measures in school).
My new favorite
website (besides this one, of course) is IMDb.
Click the titles below to get IMDb's take on some of these
DVDs.
The Upside of Anger
- 
2 pints.
The only upside of this movie
was Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood and Keri Russell.
With Kevin Costner playing the lead I don't know why I should
have expected something worth watching. Barely worth renting.
Cinderella Man
-  8 Pints
and a Bud out of the fridge! This film was outstanding! One
of the best boxing movies ever made. Even if you don't like
boxing, the story, setting, and acting are well worth seeing.
Imaginary
Heroes (2004)
6 pints.
United
States of Leland (2003)
7 Pints.
Swimming
Upstream (2003)
7 Pints
Ae
Fond Kiss... (2004)6
Pints
Fascination
(2004)
1 Pint and a few sips from the second.
The
Gift (2000)
6 Pints
The Life Aquatic (2004)
Highly recommended by our bartender,
B.J., I rented this. Unfortunately I didn't find it nearly
as humorous as expected. A few funny bits, but not a favorite.
2.5
Pints
Ray (2004)
Outstanding! This was one of
the best pictures of the year. Jamie Foxx deserved his Oscar
for his performance.
Gallon!
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Yet another sequel to a movie
that wasn't great to begin with. Not worth the rental fee.
 Empty
glass
Dirty Filthy Love (2004)
A little-known film but one
not to be missed.
Gallon!
The Aviator (2004)
With Martin Scorsese directing
and Leonardo DiCaprio playing the lead as eccentric kabillionaire
Howard Hughes I expected a lot worse, but was pleasantly surprised.
6.5
pints

I'm always open to recommendations, no matter how bad.
