I just watched a movie called the Heist. It was a box office bomb from 2001 and for the most part got swept under the rug and forgotten rather quickly. It starred Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito and Delroy Lindo, which is a pretty solid group of actors. I was disappointed in all of their performances. It was almost as if all of the actors in this film had just woken from comas and were having to learn how to speak in comprehensible sentences all over again. The acting was not good. At all. But, the absolute best part of the movie was some of the one liners. One of the lines in the movie was "My motherfucker is cool. He's so cool that when he goes to sleep, sheep count him."(That line was spoken about Gene Hackman's character. Believe me, he is not cool.) I laughed aloud at that line. I think that it may be one of the best worst lines in movie history. Really, just the dialogue in general was bad. Rebecca Pidgeon plays Gene Hackman's wife (big age difference. Gross right?) and does her best job trying to convince the audience that she's a talented actress. She came across more like a robot trying to mimic human emotions. I could go on and on, but I think Paul, June and Jason would have a lot of fun tearing the Heist a new one. And I would have a great time listening to to the episode. That is the cover of the movie. Remember, it came out in 2001. Not 1993 as the cover would suggest.
