Monk: Mr. Monk Goes to the Theater (2003)
Mr. Monk speed dates.
Any "Monk" fan knows the idea is preposterous. Tony and the writers do not disappoint. This one, and "Mr. Monk gets a New Shrink" are my two favorites.
Paint Your Wagon (1969)
Better than good!
This is a simi-accurate picture of what California was like 150 years ago. I was born in Sacramento, I can see and feel the reality every day. The farmers they deride now own millions of acres and are fabulously wealthy (the decendants). A state built on whiskey an' gold! An if there wasn't a Lee Marvin there, there shoulda' been!! Sutter's fort, Coloma, its all right here. I wish I could swipe six bawds from Sonora! (about 100mi from here) My high point is when the Chinese play the french national anthem!! Research the story of French Hill!! It didn't last long I tell you!! Claim jumpin was the way of the land, no law, only mob rule! At the restored town of Columbia (made of brick), there were stories of the people throwing gold bags at the stage of the entertainers! This movie is as factual as any story ever told!! Shot in the foothills where this really happened!! Paint your wagon and come along!!!
