This 1992 comedy is the latest of my bargain bin acquisitions.

In the film Joe Pesci, fresh off his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Goodfellas, plays a newly bared New York lawyer, who goes to a small Alabama town to defend his cousin on a false murder charge.

The film also features Marisa Tomei in his Oscar-winning role as Vinny’s feisty, yet intelligent, finance.

It was definitely a funny movie movie and I have to say that nobody can play a loud-mouthed New Yorker like Joe Pesci can.

Returning (Again) to the Humber (with Video)

BySean Patrick Kelly October 14, 2012May 22, 2023

If you recall, back in July I wrote that the Humber Cinema had lost me as a patron after the incident, which saw the landlord Claude Bitton essentially hijack the cinema away from manger Rui Pereira, after Pereira spent a lot of work refurbishing the cinema.
