ok folks September is here! Where did the summer go? As we prepare for fall I thought it would be interesting to show films on making films so here we go. We start with the Player 1992this is the Robert Altman film that got him back into the support of major motion pictures after several flops. This film has a romance a murder a comedy all going on. Tim Robbins was nominated for Best Actor also nominated for best screenplay and one awards at the Cannes Film Festival. The amount of stars doing a cameo are numerous. Next film will be one of my top ten funniest film in my opinion ever made that is Bowfinger. Starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy about a group of people who have been trying for years to get a film made how they get a star to be in their film when he doesn't even know he is in it. Eddie Murphy should have gotten a Oscar for this film playing two characters (seldom are comedies ever to win an Oscar but in my opinion it is much harder to make a truly funny film then most people think ). Favorite scene has to be Betsy the dog in the parking garage, don't miss this film. Last but not least is members choice Skip Walsh chose Mel Brools's Silent Movie truly a classic Mel Brools film everything that happens in Hollywood lots of spoofs and gags that only Mel could do. It is considered one of his best I hope you agree I haven't seen it in years. We are not having a pot luck supper to discuss August movies as some of the group is away and we will discuss the two Sherlock Holmes films the end of September with the movies for this month. I hope you can at least watch one of these films as in my opinion they are worth watching. I will let you know when the end of September the pot luck supper will be stay tuned. Get your popcorn and a comfy chair sit back and get ready to laugh Movielynne
