Hope it’s been a great weekend for all you film mavens. No time to spare, let’s move...

You know the deal... a hint is provided with each guess....as per the exalted Stonekeepers’s instructions, the hint/connection can include “Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords...Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint....Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint...Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY”...

After 12 hints and 15 guesses, if the movie doesn’t come up, point goes to the OP and he/she can start this glorious process once again....

A sad sack rounder pushes all in with two Kings, but Hownos laughs and turns over his pocket Aces and takes down the pot

Rounders (1998): A poker player loses it all. But he wants to get back, all the way back and then some; he wants to go to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. In the meantime, he has to overcome a few things— his girlfriend’s expectations, an old friend’s lure to seedy back room games and maybe a little bad luck. A good cast that includes Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, Martin Landau, John Turturro, Gretchen Mol, Famke Janssen and MICHAEL RISPOLI as a sleazy loan shark. This dark flick from John Dahl gives a good glimpse into the world of high stakes poker— but it’s so much more than just that; it’s also a character study of sorts. Take a seat, push your chips in and give it a play, but remember: luck has nothing to do with it.

It’s been fun folks, I’m out for now...cheers and best wishes...much love for all my sisters and brothers in the struggle....

Good times!
