The Pier (2011)
Not your typical cheery Irish film
I've been to Ireland. I love all things Irish. I fantasize about moving there and living a quaint, romantic life. This film, however, injected the reality of life in Ireland into my fantasy. The awkward, dysfunctional relationship that Jack has with his father reminded me that all is not idyllic in this beautiful land. It showed me some reasons why so many Irish have come to America and other countries seeking a better life. The scenery is beautiful, I wish there was more of the countryside shown, but it brought back many good memories of my trip there with my son. If you are looking for a funny, cheerful movie, this is not it. There are a lot of harsh scenes between father and son, and it was difficult to watch at times.
Mob Handed (2016)
Hellish
I found this movie when searching for Jess Conrad after watching him in The Boys (1961). He resembled a young Tom Cruise. So finding him in this God awful movie was a hand of fate. Do not waste your time, there is nothing, nothing redeeming or worth watching in this disaster. The acting is laughable, story line ridiculous, and I feel terrible for watching even 15 minutes. I skipped through most of it just to see Jess Conrad as an older man. That's it. Don't do it, I'm warning you.
