Big Night

"In life and love, one big night can change everything"

I don't remember what I was doing in 1996 anymore, but I discovered this weekend that I missed a delightful movie that came out that same year, Big Night. Stanley Tucci co-authored, directed and starred the movie. Joining him in the cast are Tony Shalhoub, Marc Anthony, Minnie Driver, Isabella Rossellini, Ian Holm and Allison Janney. A failing Italian restuarant and brothers that don't always see eye to eye is the winning recipe for this critically acclaimed film.




Don't watch on an empty stomach. The movie will end leaving you dreaming of Italian food, but also satisfied that you chose to spend 2 hours in such delightful company.

  6. Thanks for the info. Although I have been ORDERED by my doc to behave, so I don't know if I ought to watch a movie that makes me hungry. At some point, I suppose they'll all make me hungry :)

  7. Welcome back Stevie. I missed you while you were gone. I too just returned from a week away. It is difficult to get back into the blog when away so long. I have too much to do around the house to get caught up. UGH...
