Man About Town

When your life turns to poop and everyone wants a piece of you, what do you do? Cut and run? Fight back? Jack Giamoro (Ben Affleck) decides its time to get his life back but first he needs his stolen personal journal back from Barbi Ling (Bai Ling), a tabloid reporter. He lines up a meeting at what he called the worst Chinese restaurant in town. Unfortunately, it belongs to Barbi’s family and the discussion dissolves from there until the family is chasing him and his co-workers through the alleys of Chinatown.

Missionary Man

Some guys just don’t listen. They’re so pumped with testosterone that they get stupid. It must be in the food they eat or the liquids they drink or their brains are just wired wrong. Ryder (Dolph Lundgren) asks the bunch looking for a witness to leave the property and they decline. He asks another time and they respond with fists and shotguns. Ryder takes away the sawed-off and, after making some holes in the lads’ trucks, forces them to scurry away like badgers with their pants around their knees.

Music and Lyrics

I’m a book guy, have been for many years. But it took a movie to remind me that you can take all of the novels in the world and not one of them will make me feel as good, as fast as hearing The Temptations singing Smokey’s song about having sunshine on a cloudy day and when it cold outside, I’ve got the month of May. Thanks, Smokey.

Mother Night

It is a classic dilemma. Howard W. Campbell (Nick Nolte) is a German sympathizer, a writer and spokesman who promotes the Nazi agenda. He is considered a celebrity with the Reich and a propagandist in America. He also works as a spy for the Americans. But his handlers disappear and he has no proof of what he does or has done. How can he prove his worth when nobody believes he had the best of democratic intentions.
