I watched Mad Money on a flight to Vegas last year, and if parachutes were available, I would have jumped over Nebraska rather than watch the last hour of that movie.

I don't know what made me think of it, but Two for the Money was absolutely God Awful. It's the one where Pacino and McConaughey are football guru's/bookies. There was absolutely nothing good about this movie, even the football scenes sucked.

I actually enjoyed it very much because I like Matthew McConaughey and could relate to a lot of what the movie was about. It was a very lame performance by Pacino though. Man, his last few movies were even worse. 88 Minutes must be on any list of worst movies.

I loved the line Pacino said when describing McConaughey, his protege in the movie..."All he does is work out and pick winners."

I've seen Mel at Santa Anita many times in the last couple of years. He not much taller than the jockeys.
