This afternoon was a good time to watch television. It was hot and rainy outside, which is not a great combination. Flipping through channels, I found Devil in a Blue Dress, a movie that I can always watch. I will not go through the story, but, as it pertains to this post, Don Cheadle shoots Tom Sizemore.
When that movie was over, I went to the guide and found Heat, a great movie starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. It also has Tom Sizemore, and I changed the channel in time to see him get shot.
Therefore, this has been a Tom Sizemore day. I saw him get shot in two movies, and, coincidentally, both movies were released in 1995. Tom had a killer year.
Figuring that all of this was fate, I decided to look for wisdom in the movies of Tom Sizemore.

We’ve been watching movies with great casts that we missed. We watch them for five minutes, realize WHY we missed them, and move on. It’s amazing how many movies should have been great and aren’t.
There are a ton of them out there.
