The Wedding Singer (1998)
The 80"s
Sometimes the humor of Adam Sandler gets on my last nerve. So I didn't go into this film with much expectation. But I enjoyed it so much I consider this movie to be one of my all time favorite comedies. It reminded me of the 1980's (when I got married and a lot of my friends also) Reganomics, The Mini British invasion, Madonna, Boy George, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, Miami Vice, Delorean's, it was just a simpler time and this film brings it all back.
The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
Entertaining
This movie was filmed in Corpus Christi Texas (my home town) A friend from work said he was working as an extra on the movie and asked if I would like to come along. The three things I remembered most was how boring it was, it was like "hurry up and wait" the second, was one of the extras with me got hurt during the beach scene because the people that they used for the crowd had been partying all day up the beach for some radio station promotion. A lot of people were drunk and they bum rushed the extras (police officers) and one guy got a separated shoulder. The third was it was my 26th birthday (Nov. 10th)and we are on the beach, a lot of people were in swim trunks and bikinis there was goose dumps everywhere. Anyway, I was going to be one of the sheriffs officers that drove to the top of the sand dunes in a jeep to shoot Christian Slater (Binx) But they could not find a uniform that would fit me. So I ending up being police officer for crowd control for the beach scene. I guess I ending up on the editors floor because I never saw myself. But I did get a pay check for eighty something dollars. And at that point and time I put my film career behind me.
