Well decided to stay in last night and watch a couple of movies on Netflix. One was decent if anything for some cheap laughs and the other I enjoyed a lot.

The Goods, Live Hard, Sell Hard
You will pretty much get what you came for with this thing. If you like Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven, Entourage), and want to see him goofier than ever, than you might enjoy this. This one is all about Piven as a used car salesman. Many of the crew from The Office are there (no not Michael Scott or Jenna) and it has some decent moments if you like their offbeat brand of humor. Don't be looking for any kind of depth from this one. Just good cheap laughs as Piven meshes with those guys pretty well for some decent fun if you are looking to kill 90 minutes - don't expect anything more than that. 3 out of 5 stars.

Saint John of Las Vegas
This one I enjoyed a lot. Like many of you I am a Steve Buscemi fan. He delivers dark humor as well as anyone in the world and can get serious at the toss of a dime. In this role as the lead he is an insurance guy with a compulsive lottery ticket problem who gets transferred into the fraud department with veteran and top fraud agent Romany Malco (Weeds). Their assignment (given to them by their hysterical midget boss) - go to Vegas and catch this girl whom they have been told has a huge fraudulent claim in which she claimed to be rear ended. Buscemi and Malco get into a variety of hysterical situations while the movie retains a dark humor feel, kind of like Punch Drunk Love if you will, except a lot funnier. Sarah Silverman is outstanding as Buscemi's girlfriend and the plot has many entertaining twists and turns that will keep you watching.

Excellent watch. 4 out of 5 stars.
 
That Saint John one sounds pretty interesting. We were just talking about how excellent and somewhat underrated Buscemi is. I want to watch Reservoir Dogs again. He has some great snapping scenes in that. Buscemi is a great snapper.

Wow I did not know this is what happened to Steve Buscemi's face:

Production note from "Domestic Disturbance":

"In April 2001, while shooting the film in Wilmington, North Carolina, actor Steve Buscemi was slashed and badly scarred on his face while intervening in a bar fight between his friend Vince Vaughn, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and a local man, Timothy Fogerty, who allegedly instigated the brawl."
 
I think the next one will be this
"Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans" courtesy of Gamelive. I am by no means a Cage fan, but this looks like it could be as warped as Leaving Las Vegas, but a lot funnier.

I bet you wouldn't fuck Jewel either.

she has gotten dumpy but still has nice tits... she is very attractive when she keeps her mouth closed... i dont think Buscemi can completely close his mouth without some of those snaggled up fuckers sticking out... decent actor , i just cant stand to look at him

Of all the really bad Cage films and there are plenty to choose from, Bad Lieutenant has to be the worst. It was a bad movie when Harvey K did it and it got worse with Cage. If your scale generally starts at zero this film doesn't even qualify.

Movie was awful, dont buy the argument that since it was a shit fest, that is what made it funny or whatever drunk Breads opinion on the movie was.
