Pour Some Sugarbowl on Me

     This week- two movies about men given a second chance to relive their dreams.

     When a professional football players strike happens with only four games left in the regular season, the Washington Sentinels call in maverick coach, Jimmy McGinty, and give him free reign to assemble a motley crew of might have-beens and never-weres. Leading the pack is former college All-American, Shane Falco, who lives on a boat that just happens to be floating in the, at the time not yet gentrified, National Harbor. A cult comedy classic with a cast that is more than equal the task, The Replacements.
     Jessica Shepard is a hard drinking, tough as nails inspector for SFPD's homicide division with a tragic backstory. When the body of someone she had a one night stand with is found along the shore, it's curious but not enough for another investigator to take over. By the time the third is found its downright troubling. A heavily James Patterson-inspired women in trouble thriller, a staple genre of the 1990s and early 2000s, and one of the most commercial works from director Philip Kaufman, Twisted.
     All that and Dave does nothing alone in his cardboard box, Tyler realizes that he's run out of canvas below the neck, and Kevin likes to watch from a tree. Join us, won't you?
