Dean's Thoughts on Entertainment

An Apology and some New deals

I am sorry that I have been away for awhile and posts just didn't happen. I will try to return to my daily additions.
First let me crank out some of my newest additions to my collection, and as the Flea Market season is pretty much over they will now be few and far between.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
If you only own one Abbott and Costello this is the one it should be. Bela Lugosi and Lon Cheney Jr. both reprise their famed roles of Dracula and the Wolfman and comic duo of A&C are at thier best. They tried to do this type of movie a few more times but the outcome was lessened with each attempt.

Diggstown
James Woods and Lou Gossett Jr. both in the best roles of their lives. Lou is a retired boxer who takes on 10 men in a row on a bet. Great boxing movie with great comedy and drama. This is a must rent movie.

Undercover Blues
A hilarious family oriented movie starring Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner as a married couple of Special Agents who have taken time off to raise a child and get sucked into taking another case. Dennis Quaid and Stanley Tucci are the ones to watch especially when Quaid beats up Tucci nonchalantly with a stroller.

Johnny Dangerously
Michael Keaton, Peter Boyle, and Joe Piscopo in a mobster spoof which was funnier than the more recent mob spoof Mafia!. The best is the foreign mob boss who hasn't quite mastered English as he mis-curses throughout the movie "Farging Iceholes!". It is one of my favorite non-Mel Brooks spoofs.

White Hunter Black Heart
I haven't seen this one but I needed four movies to get the sale price and Clint Eastwood is usually a safe bet. This is one of his earlier attempts at directing and I am interested to see his progression in anticipation of Mystic River which I am dying to see.
