The Reel Deal

Here's three(3) more for the catalog:


The Sopranos(series finale, on HBO)


     Tied, with Seinfeld, for the Worst Series Finale Ever Award!  Okay, so they whacked Phil Leotardo.  So what?  Like I had been telling my friends all along - there WILL be a Sopranos movie - whether it be on HBO, or an HBO Film released on the Silver Screen.  To have it 'end' with a blackout - and no closure to the fate of the Soprano family!
     My suggested ending would have been better - to have Tony, Carmela, Meadow and AJ end up in the same prison cell with Jerry, Elaine, Cosmo and George.  Jerry, with a wink, says to Tony, "Yada, yada, yada!"  Tony, ogling Elaine, replies, "Bada bing!"  Elaine and Carmela look at each other and exclaim, "Fuggedaboudit!"

Ocean's 13 - starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin, Matt Damon and a host of others!

     Very funny!  Another revenge caper, with twists, turns, glitches and resolutions.  The only thing missing was the previous love capers with Julia Roberts(Tess) and Catherine Zeta-Jones(Isabelle).  They were 'explained' away by a Danny(Clooney) Ocean's cellphone conversation, and him telling Rusty(Pitt) Ryan that this was 'not their fight!'  Too bad - our loss!  All in all, some great entertainment - definitely worth the ticket - but go at low tide, so that the Ocean doesn't soak your wallet!

Borat(rated 'R' - on DVD) - starring Sasha Baron Cohen

     I don't get it!  I mean it - I just do NOT get it!  A waste of my time and money.  Must be looking for a different demographic - like radical Muslims, maybe!  Yeah, there were a couple of funny moments, such as showing how New Yorkers would react to having a weird stranger attempt to kiss or touch them, but overall - I just don't get it!

B - Buy
O - Over-priced
R - Ridiculous
A - American
T - Ticket

Oh, NOW I get it!
