"Boat drinks"

So I just got done watching a movie that I really dig. Every time I watch it, it gets a little bit better. Now it's not on the same level as my favorites. But it's really a gem. It's not at all your typical gangster movie. Although its plenty gangster. It's 2 scoops mafia, 1 scoop chick flick even, and all independent. And the players? More All-Stars than the last Dream Team. Andy Garcia, Chris Walken, Steve Buscemi. Little appearnces from Don Cheadle, Penolope Ann Miller and Josh Charles who by the way needs a new agent or something. This guy could be huge.

The movie, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. Garcia plays Jimmy "the Saint" a former connected guy who has since left the life to be a citizen. Till the boss, played by the genius that.....is Chris Walken (you have to read that as if he said it, that guys got a bad ass voice) He's "the man with a plan" who even though is confined to a wheel chair, still has all the power and can intimdate the hardest tough guys.

Jimmy is called on to do an action, which isn't an actual crime really. Just put a scare in someone. Shit goes wrong and his whole crew is sentenced to be "buckwheats" You need to see the film to know what that is.

I said part chick flick right? I didnt lie. See, Jimmy is one smooth talking dude. And although it reads pretty cheesy, he has perhaps the best pickup line I've seen in movies. I think it might actually work. Uses it on Gabrielle Anwar, who was the woman dancing with Pacino in Scent of a Woman. Well, she has a boyfriend already. And this is where I got my schtick of refering to girls boyfriends as "Chips" She's town between Chip and the smooth talking "Saint"

Written by Scott Rosenberg, who also wrote the screen plays for two other highly underrated flicks. Beautiful Girls and High Fidelity. All this talent and the movie still has that indep feel to it. Never going for the over the top violence you see in many mafia flicks. You get a feel for this crew and their loyalty to each other, and even though they are criminals and killers you root for them. Check it out on IFC, Blockbuster or Hirp Flix.
