Your Weekend Movie
I have a staff picnic today... nothing like 95 degree tempetures and persons with disabilites suffering in the heat for four hours. And, pale skinned Alice forgot her sunblock... go skin cancer! Anyways... Friday is my day off (therapy session and mowing my rented yard) so, I am leaving you all with my movie pick of the weekend. Watch it and tell me what you think!
Plot Summary for
Running Scared (2006)
Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker) is a low level mob flunkie who get told to dispose of a gun used for killing some dirty cops. Joey however, hides the gun in the drywall of his basement instead of tossing them in the river. When Joey's 10 year-old son (Alex Neuberger) and his best friend, Oleg (Cameron Bright), witness Joey hiding some guns from a botched drug deal, Oleg steals the gun -- a snub-nosed .38 -- and shoots his abusive stepfather (Karel Roden) with it. Things would be bad enough if the stepfather didn't happen to be the nephew of a psychotic Russian mob boss (John Noble)... who happens to be in business with Joey's crew on a gasoline scam. But now Joey's also got the surviving dirty cop (Chazz Palminteri) from the botched drug deal on his case... and that hot .38 out there on the street, changing hands in an underworld of freaks, pimps, hookers and pedophiles. As well as Oleg, who can connect Joey to the gun. And even if Joey can make it through the night, he's still got to an
swer to his wife (Vera Farmiga)...
P.S. The Cameron Bright kid, he was in Butterfly Effect, Ultraviolet (that movie sucked ass) and LOTS of television... my opinion is this kid has star quality written all over him.

I saw this two weeks ago, and
IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!
The opening scene was insane & the whole movie kept up the pace.
I HIGLY RECOMMEND IT ALSO!!!
Kicked ass.
We'll have to rent it this weekend.
Oh, and just always carry sunblock with you. Either in your purse and/or keep it in your car. That way you'll have it when you need it.
How does it work out that you have to mow your rented yard?
Sounds like a great thriller!
