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?

WYLD FELYNES

     This week- the filmatic embodiment of poptimisim and brutal psychic preteens in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

     When The Great Ones' destiny is about to take a most heinous turn to catastrophe, a line to the Circuits of Time open up and a most triumphant undertaking of timeline restoration begins. Will they fix what went wrong and put their futures back on track or will advanced knowledge of their destinies disrupt them and send it all spiraling out of control decades later? Either way, it is Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
     Ida and Ana move to a new apartment complex. They befriend two of the neighborhood children, only to discover that three of them have low level psychic abilities. Playtimes of mind toss and long distance telephone fill a few summer days. Soon the gaggle of psychic kids find they are stronger together, and one of them is shockingly strong alone and has no issues with extreme measures. How long until they tear themselves and each other apart? They might look it but don't think they are The Innocents.
     All that and Kevin sells out, Dave tries to comfort watch, and Tyler plots true evil. Join us, won't you?
