Fun Group Thursday May 17th 2018 at 1:00PM The Magic of Belle Island

What a great family film. Mr. Freeman, is of course 
superior as usual. Virginia Madsen shines as a 
divorced mother of three, coping with the daily 
struggles of raising three girls and a distant and 
seemingly not caring ex-husband. In these days 
of CGI and special effects, this film doesn't need any 
of that, a true wholesome portrayal of real people.

Directed by Rob Reiner......how could you go wrong?

Doo Wop Ledgends

Highly, tremendously impressed with the Doo-Wop Ledgends. 
I played it for some veterans where I volunteer, they and staff loved it. 

I was very impressed with the DVD Performances and the excellent
condition and quality of the DVD. 

The Dvd was so well put together It put out magnificent sound, 
perfornance over and over again. 

I really enjoyed the show. The Marcels were my favorite act - I reversed 
several times 2 hear Blue Moon again and again. 

My only disappointment - the show was too short. I expected the show 
to last at least two (2) hours. 

Fun Night Monday Novermer13th at 6:00PM - Concert Frank Sinatra

This review is from: 

Frank Sinatra: Concert for the Americas (DVD)

Frank was a little past his prime when this live concert was performed, 

but he was in terrific form in this early 80s show. His bluesy rendition 

of "Come Rain or Shine" takes Don Costa's great chart and makes it 

grittier, sans the massive string section. 

"Best Is Yet to Come" is as solid a rendition of the Cy Coleman song 

as I've ever seen or heard. "I Won't Dance" swings, and Franks's 

drummer Irv Cottler places the perfect, powerful accents to kick Sinatra 

higher. 

Speaking of Cottler, you won't see Buddy Rich behind Sinatra, but that's 

fine. Cottler knew every nook and cranny of Sinatra's rhythmic phrasing 

and knew how to fire up his boss. It's Buddy's band, augmented by french 

horns and virtuoso Tony Mottola, along with a couple of other Sinatra 

regulars. 

There is a break in which Buddy comes out and does his classic 

"West Side Story", with a typically explosive drum solo. I have a friend 

who attended this concert in the Dominican Republic who told me Buddy 

collapsed after his performance from the stifling heat & humidity. 

You'll note he didn't even wear a hairpiece...somehow, Sinatra looked 

comfortable.

No, it's not HD, the audio is okay but not up to the best technologies of 

today...but this is one of the best Sinatra live concerts you'll find. 

It's Wonderful.

Frankie Valli Live from Atlantic City at 7:00pm

Dancing and Outdoor TV (Weather permitting). 

Editorial Review:

One of the most outstandingly successful groups in pop history, 
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons were always known for their 
extraordinary live performances. This live concert was filmed in 
Atlantic City during their 1992 US tour. 

Including many of their most popular and widely acclaimed hits, 
the program is a fitting tribute to a remarkable group. Inducted into 
both the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of 
Fame, Frankie Valli has scored 39 Top 40 hits in the course of his 
illustrious career.

In 2005, the Broadway musical Jersey Boys opened on the 
'Great White Way'. Besides performances of many of Frankie Valli 
and The Four Seasons hit recordings, the musical features a 
biographical narrative, told as four separate points of view by each 
of the members of The Four Seasons (Tommy DeVito, Frankie Valli, 
Nick Massi, and Bob Gaudio). 

The musical dramatizes several real-life incidents from Valli's life, 
including his estrangement from his daughter Francine, who died in 
1980.

The widely acclaimed show has won six Tony awards, with touring 
companies around the world, as well as a version at Paris Las Vegas. 
Based on the roadway smash hit and directed by Clint Eastwood, 
the movie Jersey Boys was released in 2014 to rave reviews, starring 
Christopher Walken and John Lloyd Young as Valli.

Fun Night Monday ? at 6:00PM - Night Shift

This early Ron Howard effort is somewhat forgotten in the aftermath of his big-budget hits that have come in the last decade. That is too bad, because this is probably Howard's best comedy and it is one of the funniest movies you will ever see.

The story centers on Chuck Lumley (played by Henry Winkler), a nebbish who works at the city morgue after leaving his high powered finance job due to stress. Chuck is a loser who cannot face up to any kind of bully, including his fiance. After being relegated to the night shift, Chuck is teamed with a morgue new-comer, Bill Blazejowski (Michael Keaton at his maniacal best). Bill, who likes to be called Billy Blaze, is "an idea man". When Chuck's prostitute next-door neighbor (Shelly Long) loses her pimp, Bill's new idea is to use the morgue to run a call-girl ring. Doesn't sound funny? Well, trust me, it is hilarious.

Keaton steals the show with his over-the-top performance. His high-energy comedy is the perfect contrast to Winkler's nerdy Chuck. Winkler, in a departure at the time from his Happy Days role as the Fonze, is also dryly funny. The supporting cast (most of whom made their mark on t.v., not movies) is also fantastic. The prostitutes, lead by Long, combine looks and humor. Richard Belzer (Homocide), Pat Corley (Murphy Brown), Gina Hecht (Mork and Mindy) and Derek Munoz (Freaks and Geeks) are among those who provide memorable moments in small roles. Clint Howard as usual has a role in his brother's film and is very funny as a loser who employees the services of Chuck and Bill.
And, as a previous reviewer noted, this movie is ripe with great, quotable movie lines.

Fun Night Monday October 16th at 6:00PM - The Man who knew too little

It's a blast to watch. This is not serious comedy, it's serious fun. As someone else has said, you have to set aside your critical thinking, your skepticism, and just enjoy the fun. There are so many really funny situations in the movie that it's really not fair to name them all, but suffice it to say that once the movie gets going they come one after another in quick succession so that you hardly have time to get a breather in between fits of laughing. Bill Murray's character is having fun throughout, really doing all the things he always dreamed of doing. The closest he ever came before this was renting out movies to other people for Blockbuster video. Now is his opportunity to do the stuff he has been watching in the movies and he's going to do it all, even getting the beautiful girl in the end.

Fun Night Monday Sepember 18th at 6:00PM - As Good As It Gets

A magnificent love story. I believe that love is the best of things. If you love and are loved, then you have hope that the world will become a better place. Nicholson is at his very best as a difficult, awkward introvert, plagued with OCD. His world opens up when he meets Carol, a gorgeous woman who is on the South side of a bad marriage. Her joy of life is marred by her ailing little boy who suffers from asthma. Throw in a neighbour who is a rising artist in need, Jack's personality and an adorable little bow-wow dog and you have a delightful mix that very much parallels reality.

It's funny how our lives can sink into ruts that don't seem to lead anywhere, and suddenly that special woman comes along and gives us purpose in life, and gives our lives meaning. This is one of those films that illustrates how awkward we can be despite our aspirations to love and. And, in the end it underlines the essential truth that if you are loved and you love, the world is a pretty special place.

Fun Night Monday June 12th at 6:00PM - The Money Pit

The night I closed on my first house I ordered a pizza and watched The Money Pit. At the time, it was just about the funniest thing I had ever seen. Two poor unsuspecting lovebirds get suckered into buying what they *think* is the house of their dreams, only to have everything under the sun go wrong. It was so over the top absurd that I laughed myself silly.

Fast-forward five years and I have a WHOLE new appreciation for this movie. I bought a "fixer-upper" with stars in my eyes, dreaming about all the DIY projects that were going to be *so* much fun. Hah. There's a scene in this movie that has become my all-time FAVORITE scene in ANY movie. Tom Hanks gets out of the cab and sighs, saying "Ah. Home Crap Home." Every single time something has gone wrong in my house (the roof, the water heater, the foundation, ants eating through the siding - you name it) I remember this movie and start laughing. Home Crap Home. I can completely, totally, 100% RELATE to this movie, which makes it even funnier (if that's even possible).

Anyone who is thinking of buying a house should watch this movie. Anyone who has ever bought a house should watch this movie. Yes, even if you've got a great house with no problems (do those even exist??) - you should watch this movie. And anyone who has ever dealt with a contractor should watch this movie

Fun Night Monday May 8th at 6:00PM - What About Bob

This is one of the most fun summer movies of all time. I'm rewatching it now for probably the 20th time and it just never gets old. Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray are so perfect together that it's a wonder that it's their only picture together (or at least I think it is). You know the plot: Bill Murray plays an out-of-control multi-phobic nutso that latches on to his new shrink: Dreyfus. What Dreyfuss' character doesn't realize (at first, though he soon discovers it) is that "Bob" is the patient from hell. Much of the movie was filmed at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and the setting is just spectacular.

I find it hard to believe that there is anyone that hasn't yet seen this class comedy, but if you haven't, try it. 

Fun Night Monday April 3rd at 6:00PM - The Bucket List

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman...now there's a powerhouse! This generation's "The Defiant Ones"! 

This film should have swept the Oscars, destroyed all box office records, and be declared among the greatest films of all time! But, even if it was denied these accolades, it is still a fine film. 

Our leads play a pair of men, previously unknown to one another, who become hospital roommates as they both learn that they have terminal cancer. Deciding to make their remaining time count, they set out on an around-the-world trip, one of them being rich enough to easily finance the venture for the pair and his assistant/butler/verbal punching bag "Thomas", played by Sean Hayes...I actually found the explanation of this character's name to be among the funniest parts of the movie. 

This film worked because of the chemistry that Freeman and Nicholson built up throughout their time together...you could see their friendship rise and fall with each passing event. I don't know much, if anything, about Beverly Todd, but I felt she was just there so Morgan Freeman could have a wife. 

I just don't like it when there's a couple on the screen and we only get to know one person and the other one's just...there. I don't care if the story wasn't about her...she still deserves a real personality. This was a really great and funny film.  I highly recommend it. Enjoy.

Fun Night Monday February 13th at 6:00PM - Weekend at Bernie's

A Very Funny story of two over ambitious young men in a company run by a Guy who squanders money, drugs, and women to find that He's up to "His Neck" with the Mob. 

He's been over needy to! Not much of a spoiler but you can get the picture of where it starts and only God knows where it's going from here. 

For Bernie...It ain't good! (LOL) But! It's a Great Movie sure to please.
