Crack

 

Meet the next YouTube Star!


If you missed Paddy Keenan on April 12 (or want to relive some of the fun) check out Mickey performing An Poc Ar Buile with Paddy Keenan, John Walsh & Oisín McAuley

Apologies for the poor video quality. We'll find an HD camera next time.


 

In case you think we're talking about drugs, we're not. "Crack" means just for fun, from the gaelic word "craic".


"Good, and you, Mickey? Good, Mickey, and you Mickey?"

 

 

Mickey Cassidy at the movies.

   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

Irish joke of the moment

We've got our own recipe for Irish stew: Get some meat, some potatoes and a lot of Guinness Stout. Drink all of the stout. Forget about the stew.
