French Vampire decides that the mob is wasting blood.
Set in Pittsburgh, uses all our favorites from every mob movie, including a few you wouldn't expect like Don Rickles. John Landis directed so you know there is comic relief.
Drinking coffee and watching movies. My goal is 12 words or less. Sometimes it takes more.

P.S. I Love You
Poor man's Julia Roberts surrounded by fake Irish accents.
or
To Gillian on her 37th Birthday remake with roles reversed
This could have been a cute little tear-jerker flick but there is absolutely NO chemistry between Swank and any of the cast except Bates who plays her mom. This is coming from someone who likes bad romantic dramedies. I actually turned is off halfway thru because facebook was more entertaining.

Jack and Jill
Sandler makes fun of Tyler Perry
or
The self-depricating side of Al Pacino
This movie gets a really bad rap. As a stand alone, it's bad, Sandler and David Spade cross-dressing, Pacino slumming, tired tropes about twins, etc. BUT, if you look at it as a parody of all the twin movies and the lead as two characters etc, then it's actually pretty wicked.
He has Al Pacino making fun of himself and doing a singing and dancing Dunkin Donuts commercial! He has cameos of most of the SNL cast from decades past as well as Drew Carey, Christie Brinkley, Johnny Depp, Bruce Jenner, John McEnroe, and Shaq.
His premise is the relative who visits and never leaves, but it's also about how you have to own your past and acknowledge it and move forward from it, because nothing stays buried alive. It's also about being honest with yourself and being honest with those around you and allowing them to be honest with you. Acceptance. Love. You don't have to like their behavior, or agree with their choices.
He's also poking fun at the usual crap coming out of Hollywood like 13 going on 30 and Big Momma's House and all the tired cliche ridden crap sequels that get made.
As usual, his humor is harsh at times and has that nasty 5 boroughs sharp hurtful one-liner hatred of all things unpopular, but really, isn't Sandler saying things you thought for a fleeting second and shoved away because it wasn't a "nice" thought?

For the love of Grace
Typical, predictable made for TV romantic drama fare.
This one has firefighters.
