I bought Broken Flowers for $2 from Pawn America and decided that because it had the great Bill Murray, it was worth a look.
The story follows Murray, who is a lifelong Casanova and Ladies Man, on a quest he begins after finding out one of his past lovers 20 years ago had a son that she has kept secret. The son is out on a personal quest that she believes is to find Bill Murray, who is still single, but rich from the computer industry. Murray's best friend forces him on the trip by planning it and pushing him.
First woman is Sharon Stone, husband recently died and she has a daughter who played E's lover last season who looks 14, named Lolita.
2nd on the list is a real estate agent who is married to Christopher McDonald, better known as SHOOTER MCGAVIN.
3rd is a lady who can talk to animals after the death of her dog.
4th is, I think Tilda Swinton, who lives is an old house with rednecks fixing stuff in a huge garage out front.
Not too special because Bill Murray is contained and not unleashed. Interesting a sometimes funny about reconnecting with old flames and the awkwardness and feelings that arise.
Bottom Line: 5.8 out of 10. Really not worth watching, but it's not terrible or anything.
30 for 30 was on and I watched the Pony Express, the story of how SMU received the first, last, and only death penalty in NCAA history. I learned a lot about SMU, since their best days were before I were born. SO interesting about their short history of greatness and incredible downfall. It was amazing to see that their recruiting was blatant cheating, but the simple fact was everyone else was doing it as well. SMU just wasn't good at covering up after themselves. Now the first 15 episodes of 30 for 30 are for sale on Amazon.com and I'm having a tough time resisting them. It's only 46.99, and I have not seen them all. It's just so well done, but I can't imagine myself watching the episodes over and over again. Odds are I'll be buying it at some point at a discounted price. I just love the depth that is uncovered in the interviews. I don't even care about the subject matter sometimes, but it's just so interesting and well-done, it makes it worth watching for the education.
