2. In "The Cooler", Maria Bello helps William H. Macy avenge the noisy sex guy in the next door motel room. It's as fresh, frisky, and frolicsome a bit of prankish mischief as I've ever seen. Anyone, anyone who says this movie just replays old cliches of all the Vegas down on your luck movies must have had to take a pee and missed this scene. It's among a half a dozen or so set pieces in "The Cooler" that astonished me. This one was the best, though.
3. I hadn't sat down and shot the breeze over dinner with Randy and Marla Trox for about thirty-five years -- or so it seemed -- and we had a wonderful time. Marla prepared a smashing stir fry, Randy popped open a refreshing Merlot (he told me it had peppery subterranean flourishes or something...I just thought it was good), and we talked over old times and quite a few new ones.

I stopped by quick to give you something and caught this post. Out of several dozen opinions I've heard, you are the first to agree that The Cooler is at least a good movie. Your perspective on Maria is great. We should kiss our wives more.
I like the almost gimmick free. Not a lot of out-of-place special effects or trivial humor. No subliminal messages. Just lucky in love and how else could such a movie end.
I love you, your writing and insight. Take care.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS dear MrP - I just wanted to pop over and send you hugs and crimbo wishes to you and your family....
peace love and happiness always...
