ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

The Semi-Final Matches for the Men's 60's Era Bracket is set...

There were two blow-out matches and two close matches that wrapped up last night and now we have two semi-final matches all set to go. Top seed Paul Newman rolled over Sean Connery 30-7. Frequent co-stars Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis did not have a tight race. Lemmon destroyed Curtis 31-7. Sidney Poitier edged out Robert Redford 19-17 in the round's closest match. And the lone upset was when 2nd seed Steve McQueen lost 20-16 to Peter O'Toole. So on to the semi's now with two more exciting matches that will begin immediately and run through Monday 4 PM EST.

All along, I've been pulling for a Lemmon/Poitier final in this bracket.

Happy 4th to you!! (My dogs will be glad when it's over. My neighbors have been shooting off fireworks for at least a week now, and my dogs are SO spooked. These next 3 days will be a real challenge.); July 2, 2011 at 8:51 AM
