This is pretty hilarious (sexual language and sexy girls in it)

More movies and WOMAN AT WORK

I watched 2 1/2 DVDs Friday night. The half (well maybe a third) was Alfred Hitchcock's misfire Topaz. I disliked it so much that I ejected it after a particularly idiot plot device.
An unpleasant Soviet scientist defects to the US with his wife and daughter. He may or may not know anything about the Soviet presence in Cuba. This is the time of the Cuban missile crisis. Based on a novel by Leon Uris. Not all that interesting cast. The only one I really knew was John Forsyth. I didn't find it ...

Movies many movies

Let me see if I can even keep track.
I watched The Drowning Pool with Paul Newman as Harper again, Joanne Woodward as ex-girlfriend Iris, Tony Franciosa as a local policeman, and an 18 year old Melanie Griffith as a very young femme fatale in one of her earliest movie roles. Enjoyable follow up to Harper--nine years later.

Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson (as the monstrous Johnny Rocco!), and Lionel Barrymore. I can't believe this is the first time I've ever se...

Several videos of the possum lady
