last night I came across a 2023 b-movie thriller with an inexplicable cast, including Morgan Freeman.

It piqued my interest because I saw Vernon Davis listed in the credits. I thought I recognized the name and googled him, and sure enough, it's the retired NFL tight end who, as I recall, was remarkable for being an athletic freak. He's into acting now, and this is his sixth movie. He plays the main bad guy, and even put on an accent for the role. Fun to watch him. Movie was terrible, but I napped through most of it anyway.

A great performance by Hugh Jackman.
It was pushed as a comedy, but it's really not that at all.
Basic story, superintendent of a very successful school and a member of his staff have some "creative accounting" when it comes to funding a building project at the school. Student journalist discovers the creativity...
True story. It's a nice Saturday afternoon movie.

On Prime...
It is loosely based on the true story of lawyer Willie E. Gary and his client Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe's lawsuit against the Loewen funeral company, as documented in the 1999 New Yorker article of the same name by Jonathan Harr....
In 1995, Willie E. Gary, an unconventional personal injury lawyer with an impressive track record, helps financially troubled funeral home owner Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe sue a large funeral home company, the Loewen Group, over a contractual dispute.

Pleasant movie, well acted by Foxx and Jones.
Of note, I think it's the only "courtroom movie" I've seen that does not have a depiction of closing arguments. Didn't need to.

Just watched a movie called "Life of Brian". Oh my gosh, it was quite funny. About a baby name of Brian that was born at the same time as Jesus and some people think that Brian is the Messiah.
Not very "politic correct" but quite funny.
Typical scene:

Jesus is speaking to a crowd. The people in the back can't hear.
"What is he saying?"
"Something about that the cheesemakers will inherit the earth."
"What's so special about cheesemakers?"
etc.

If you liked that, you should look up a comedy group called "Monty Python."

I watched this one too. It was funny and good but I liked "Life of Brian" better.
