about a movie.
' You Kill Me ' stars Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni, Bill Pullman, Luke Wilson and a small role for Dennis Farina.
First, there may not be a better villain than Farina. DF is slimy but smooth - excellente
The plot - a substance abusing hitman lives and works in Buffalo. He is connected to the Polish mob. The P mob is under intense pressure from the Irish. The hitman ( BK ) is drunk and misses a big hit on the Irish godfather ( DF ).
BK is sent to San Francisco for re-hab w/ Alcoholics Anonymous.
A contact person, BP, is able to provide accommodation and a job offer ( mortician's assistant ).
While on the job ( in San Fran ) BK meets TL as a client of the funeral home.
Through a series of quick interchanges involving bowling shoes the two connect a some level.
With some setbacks and successes, the couple survive the initial stages of dating.
LW is a gay AA guy who befriends BK and on the periphery interacts w/ BK.
Definitely a black comedy that works b/c you're putting 2 fabulous actors into ridiculous social situations. Funny and tender, the movie bounces from Buffalo to SanFran and abnormal to almost normal.
TL as Laurel Pearson says " I've been accused of having no boundaries ". That sentence could somehow describe
' You Kill Me '
Weather is 37 F , dreary and dull looking. No sun. no wind ( I think ). Welcome to T.O.
Hope its nicer where you are
