`` Liar and a Dreamer''

 I can see why these films have been forgotten in a way that Airplane, and Duck Soup have not been It is not bad, but it is off it's time. Jackie Chan does stunts. We get Ratpack jokes. Oh and lots of drinking while in charge of motorised vehicles  That said I still enjoyed it. Ricardo Montleban, Doug McClure, Catherine Bach- Daisy Duke to you. Richard Kiel. Who I recently saw in Simon and Simon  My brother reminded me that Daisy Duke is the same age as my uncle. Which killed the mood It is the last Rat Pack movie- Frank Sinatra makes a Cameo, where he is compared to American Royalty  and the last of the Reynolds and Dom Deluise films. Smokey and the Bandit 2. Cannoball Run, and Cannoball 2. Best Little Whorehouse ... I liked the Thorn Birds joke- Which Dean Martin makes while trying to pick up a girl in bar. He is dressed as a priest I never realised how Short Sammy Davis Jnr was- he really is tiny  Did Tony Danza age noticeably in this before they made Who's t...

 The voice of Mr Benn, The voice of King Rollo I actually saw Mr Brooks in real life , when he was working on the filming of the now forgotten BBC series Big Deal. I recently rewatched an episode with my brother. A scene was filmed in my local park-one of my friends rode her bike as Ray used a phone box (20 April 1939 – 9 August 2025) Father, Dementia Sufferer, Actor

  I liked this It was pretty stupid, in a good way.  Christopher Macdonald throwing coffee in the villains face, .I laughed out loud at that scene. There is some great low humor here. Dick jokes and mooning. There are references to Love Island- which works I think there is a scene which is supposed to show the differences between Xers and Millennials when Sandler joins a group of three at the golf course Oh and the car crash is great John Daly plays himself and is great I had forgotten Julie Bowen was in Happy Gilmore.  I wonder if casting Rory McIIroy and others was worth it,  The competition in the last third of the film. I think weakens the film. I think the producers could have just had VR or something. We are introduced to some characters and they don't do much.  Haley Joel Osment appears- he is playing comic villains these days 

 1948- 2026 Father, Brummie, The Prince of Darkness

 1970-2026 Theo from the Cosby Show. One of the first people to popularise dyslexia.  Also in Tour of Duty

  This is not a particularly memorable film Teacher and a pupil have a fling in a small town It has a cast of 10 people despite being set in a high school The scenery human and natural is quite striking  I dislike Martin Freedman and he is miscast here I also did not need to see him mimic the sin of Onan I did wonder if the gender swapped the cast here Everyone smokes  There is perhaps something interesting in the story. Where Cairo, (Ortega) is living alone -her parents away. I think a Borica is a bit out of place in rural Tennessee but never mind. Cario is above the age of consent. It is only that she is still in High School that is the question arises. We see Cairo's friend working in a cafe. If Cairo drops out. then there is no legal problem. It is noticeable at the ending, Cario's friend wants to speak up for Freeman Cairo presumably drives as well. She probably has to drive to the Salon, but this is not brought up. Nor the fact that she is drinking wine. There is qu...
