IT'S QUICKSAND!!!!!!!

Sid recently went against his better judgement and decided it would be ok for Santa to join Sunday golf. Yeah, not really. On the way to the first tee the first C was pretty much yelled about one of the players. Fantastic you know it's gonna be a great day. Shockingly, the first 5 holes went without incident. Then we came to the sixth hole.
After being explicitly told to fight his true nature to maintain a 4:1 ratio of shots hit to shots counted and just hit one shot and move on, Santa shanked a 5 iron into the sand. Sid was on the other side of the fairway and did not see Santa drop another ball and hit a shot into a mud pit hazzard. Upon pulling the cart to where Santa stood, we saw a yellow rope. Lost on Santa, this means DO NOT FREAKING GO HERE. Then we saw this buffoon walking in the mud with what looked like mud covered shoes. Sid said "what are you doing?" "My shoes!" Santa said, pointing to two gashes in the mud. Then the realization came that this mess of a human stepped in the mud, stepped out and his shoes stayed behind. Looking on in amazement, Santa was seen digging with his hands through hot wet smelly mud to retrieve sweet nike golf shoes. However, while digging, Santa started sinking through mud that had been cultivated from heavy rain recently and 2 weeks of 90+ degree weather. As he sank in to almost his knee Santa screamed out "ITS'S QUICKSAND!" Sid replied "They're just f**king shoes get out of there!" But no, Santa finally got out and got the shoes. He then put them back on, went to the sand trap and hit the shot he should of in the first place. And with muddy shoes, socks, and legs, Santa played at his jolly worst for the final 12 holes.
I guess you could look at this story 2 ways. Was it an abosolutely stupid thing to do? Yes yes. But, if he has nothing else, Santa has resolve. Who else would have played 12 more holes of golf after an incident like that? The oaf deserves credit for unflinching determination to keep going on no matter how many times he trips himself up. You wouldn't be the same without your clumsiness in every aspect of being, Zap Rogdower, and Sid applaudes your ability to keep us laughing, surprised, and constantly amazed after all these years.

I watched this movie once and then placed it among those DVDs, which I probably will never watch again. The enhanced 1.85:1 picture is very good and has contributed to my three-star rating.

The movie itself? Not so good. Its a pretty predictable thriller that tends to drag itself on an on. While I will admit there are some interesting scenes, the movie really doesn't pick up until the very end when the music kicks in for the credits. Its just so haunting. Unfortunatly, I cannot say the same for the rest of the movie. To make a long story short, my opinion is if you do happen to decide to pick this movie up, don't expect greatness. Although Michael Keaton and Cane aren't bad in and of themselves, the rest of the movie is pure...well I leave the rest of the sentance up to you to decide.

This was a sleeper, but I went on to discover that this was an excellent movie. Although Michael Keaton has perfoprmed better in other roles, this was a good reversal of a drama role from his standard comedy. Don't take that wrong, he is a great actor, something that these other so called actors could strive for in their performances.

This low budget drama/thriller was very average even though it has both Michael Kane and Michael Keaton it was still slightly dull and tedious. There were a few interesting parts that I thought were hilarious especially with Kane and the extremely bad acting from the rest of the cast so I guess it wasn't all that bad. The story was about Keaton's character who plays a bank employee who goes to France in order to investigate a bad transaction or transfer of money that appeared on his computer, he soon becomes a fall guy for the Russian mafia and some drug ring so he needs to prevent the bad guys from killing him as well as clearing his name from a murder he did not commit. If you like both these actors then you might be interested in this film but don't expect a high caliber thriller or something like that.
