Dave came across the film Biloxi Blues<\/a> this evening on Encore when he was surfing channels.<\/p>\n

This has to be one of my favorite movies! Matthew Broderick<\/a> in the 80s was the cutest thing in the world. He’s still pretty cute now — he was a hoot in The Producers<\/a> and I wish wish wish I could have seen that show on Broadway! But at age 46, his age is starting to show.<\/p>\n

But his roles as that guy whose life seems fine and then undergoes an incredible unraveling, like in The Cable Guy<\/a>, Road to Wellville <\/a>and Election<\/a>…hilarious!<\/p>\n

(Okay, you can say it: he was typecast.)<\/p>\n

My sister will tell you about how we’d watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off<\/a> on VHS over and over and over and over and over again…we still quote that movie to each other, 20 years later!!! <\/p>\n

I thought I’d share my feel-good movie of the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
