I was struck by Jessie Buckley. She is to me the type of woman that is very attractive in a puzzling way; definitely wouldnt be a beauty contest winner. Something about her projects from an inner source of character.


She certainly has a realistic looking face. Pretty, but not artificial.



Recently, I was struck by Paula Malcomson, who plays Ray Donovon's wife on the Showtime series.


The character of Ray Donovon would not look out of place with a model wife, but the series would not be as gritty.

I saw it when it first came out. I thought it was a good movie but I am easy to please when it comes to movies.

I ust watched this French movie (overdubbed in English) about this group of friends that are at a dinner party and they play a game where they put their cell phones in the middle of the table and they all get to see all the messages and hear all the phone calls
It was excellent

Hard to believe you're single. Women love
movies like that.

You didn't know women love movies
like that? No wonder you're single.

See what I did there? I said exactly
the same thing but in a different
way.

Highly rated on Rotten Tomates

MOLLY'S GAME is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.

Molly Bloom (born April 21, 1978) is an American entrepreneur, speaker, and author of the 2014 memoir Molly's Game: The True Story of the 26-Year-Old Woman Behind the Most Exclusive, High-Stakes Underground Poker Game in the World!. She had trained for years to become an Olympic skier, but was injured while trying to qualify for the Olympics.

In April 2013, she was charged with running a high-stakes poker game that originated in the Viper Room in Los Angeles which attracted wealthy individuals, sports figures, and Hollywood celebrities. In May 2014, after pleading guilty to reduced charges, she was sentenced to one year of probation, a $200,000 fine, and 200 hours of community service.

Do you like stuff written by Aaron Sorkin? If you do, you’ll love it.

I actually just rewatched it on the plane to Vegas the other day. Held up well.

Molly's Game was pretty good. Might be the best gambling movie since Rounders and Owning Mahoney.
