Movies for Wednesday October 6, 2010

October 6 1963 is Elisabeth Shue's birthday... so the theme for today are films with Elisabeth Shue-enjoy!

1 Leaving Las Vegas (1995) Director: Mike Figgis
Gripping film about an alcoholic screenwriter (Nicolas Cage) who decides to end his life by drinking himself to death-Cage is great in his role, which he won an Academy Award for and Elisabeth Shue is also great as a prostitute that he starts a relationship with, which she garnered a nomination for her performance...

2 The Karate Kid (1984) Director: John G. Avildsen
Sweet film about a boy (Ralph Macchio) who moves to a new town and ends up being bullied but decides to learn karate to defend himself-Pat Morito is great as Macchio's karate teacher, which he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance...

I hope that the above picks will provide hours of entertainment-enjoy!
