Poker Movies
While I was on a brief hiatous from writing I watched many movies. One of them being a movie called The Grand. It’s a movie about poker and the hilarious outings of the poker community. Actors in the movie include Woody Harrelson, Cherly Hines, David Cross, Ray Romano, Gabe Kaplan, Micheal McKeon, Jason Alexander and Hank Azaria. The movie is a spoofy movie. It’s stupid funny and ridiculous. There are many poker pros in the movie. Pro’s like Daniel Negranu, Phil Gordon, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Laak. The movie was not worthy of an oscar but it was mildly amusing. Other poker movies like Rounders are more in the drama aspect as this one is a spoof. Woody Harrelson plays a casino owner who has a bad srug problem and is in trouble of losing his casino. I am a huge poker fan I love the game and it is a growing phenomenon if you never played poker I suggest you do because it is the most fun you will have. Have fun get out there and check The PPA (Poker Players Alliance) join the cause.
