It was an ok movie if you didn't have anything better to do. Entertaining. I don't recall looking at my watch. But...

First you have to get past the main plot premise, that Casinos actually employ unlucky people to cool down hot winning gamblers that are killing the house.

William Macy was perfectly cast for this. What a face!

I did laugh a few times.

Yeah, here in Aurora I say "ketchup".

As for the Cooler -- fun little indie movie. I love stories about "old" Vegas and the premise of a cooler is very amusing. Plus, I love Macy. Baldwin was great in it.

Not a film I would recommend to my "normal" movie friends. It's an art house movie.

Yes, and I drove all the way to the Mayan to see the Cooler, not thinking that in 1 week it would be playing all over!

(ok the drive to the Mayan isn't so bad, what annoys me is that they don't have Friday matinees which is when I want to go...)

Who knew?!! All these Aurorans. Go figure. I thought this was a national site.

I was just kidding about catsup.

Those art house theatres need to expand their matinee hours.

I'm going to the Continental, tomorrow, 4:20pm, to see the Big Fish. This is a movie club memo. Be there!! ;>) Then we'll walk across the parking lot to that bar, can't think of the name, Old Chicago? Appleby's?? to talk about the movie.

Yeah, I'll have to be there in spirit as well because I'll be working. I already saw Big Fish but will look for your thoughts on it tomorrow.

Caught this over the weekend. I thought the plot was a little thin but enjoyed the performances.
