Title: Nicholas Cage Throws A Gutterball
Post by: arakasi on September 06, 2003, 06:43:36 PM: I recently rented the movie FAMILY MAN. In it Nicholas Cage plays a rich
single financial yuppie who is forced to live an alternate life as a
tyre salesman. This movie is basically a remake of MR DESTINY witch came
out about 10 years earlier and starred Michael Caine and James Belushi.

In FAMILY MAN there is a long scene in a bowling alley with Cage competing
in league with his co-workers. He does rather poorly. Interestingly the
alley is filled with drinking smoking blue collar workers. Not the most
glamorous image.

After seeing this has there been any other movies that have come out
recentley that featured bowling ? This is the only one I have seen.

a pretty good movie that one. Im probly the only person my age who has seen it lol. I remember one episode of drew carey where drew and mimi became hustlers at bowling alleys. That was pretty funny. Brusnwick must have paid a bucketload to get the exposier, cause every single ball was a zone of some sort.

Good luck and high scoring
matt

Is it wrong that I thought Cindy was hotter than all of the "hot young babes" bouncing around?

Post by: Goof1073 on September 08, 2003, 10:42:59 AM: There was also a bowling scene from an alley out near Boston in the movie "The next Karate Kid." Pretty cool seeing a place in a movie that you bowled in.

In the course of the film they end up at a bowling ally were it really looks like Vincent Gallo playing the forth arrow with what I think is a Danger Zone. If you like your films a bit â€œindependentâ€ this one is a gem. I think it came out around 2000.
