Lucky Numbers
$9.98
This movie is smart, fun, and funny. I'd never heard of it before catching it on TV a few months ago, but I couldn't change the channel! It's got great lines with great delivery. Smart, fun, and funny. I just don't know how else to describe it. Travolta is excellent from the start, and Bill Pullman, though he only arrives halfway through the movie, is hilarious. Tim Roth and Lisa Kudrow are also very funny in their roles. The dialogue is easy to follow, but sometimes the humor is quick and subtle, so pay attention! Here are a couple of my favorite lines, but believe me there are a bunch:

Jerry the bookie: I mean Jesus Christ himself can't rig the state lottery...unless, unless Jesus had a buddy down at the TV station.

Crystal: And I want that ticket back. And I want Dick Simmons dead, you hear me!?
Gig: Fine, fine.
Crystal: And I want his head cut off so I can hang it from my rear view mirror!
Gig: Now that's just your anger talking.

Livin' Large!
$14.98
Im not the least bit surprised that this movie has a low rating. Im not the least bit surprised that the negative reviews are not even reviews but written down babble from people who couldnt write a review to save their lives and always use the same kind of criticism to describe EVERY movie they hate. Stupid, predictable sheep. At any rate, Livin Large came and went for the simple fact that it was smarter than its target audience. Beyond the humor is a message to behold.

Terrence T.C. Carson plays Dexter Jackson, a somewhat narcissistic brother that dreams of one day being a top anchorman for Channel 4 news. He gets his chance after the passing of a news reporter. In the process, an unscrupulous news executive named Kate(Blanche Baker) is trying to change him while he desperately tries to hold on to his identity.

Livin Large is funny at times and is pretty smart in its message which is simple: dont sell your soul to be accepted by "them". If you're black then be black. The funniest scene would have to be the wedding scene where Dexter is forced to marry a tramp news reporter in order to be an anchorman. Livin Large will offend those that are against it's message while being praised by those that are smart enough to embrace it. Terrence Carson was pretty funny in this movie and his gorgeous girlfriend Toynell(played by Lisa Arrindell)is fine as hell. All in all, I would recommend Livin Large to those that like a satire from the past that is better than than these overrated satires in the present.

The Weather Man (Widescreen Edition)
$12.98
Crude in spots. Despite two good actors, Cage and Caine, fails to elicit caring about them (except in a negative way). If the second half (which I didn't watch) turned up the happy music and redeemed the main character, it's unwarranted and unbelievable. If you're going to waste your time, rent it or borrow from the library.
