Mr. Vincent (1997)
After seeing Yonkers Joe I came across this Gem of a movie
I went to a screening of Yonkers Joe. I was so moved by it when I got home I went here on IMDb to see what other movie the Director has done. Mr. Vincent, OK I went to Netflix.com and placed my order. It arrived and I once again was blown away, sorry to say but I identified with what the actor was going through. But then again if you reach into your heart and think about it, we all have. In love with someone to the point where your so obsessed that you can't think, eat or sleep. The performance by Frank John Hughes was so spot on that I felt his pain. Lisa Locicero a beautiful actress just added to the realism of the film. Wonderfully written, Directed and edited by Robert Celestino.
"If you've ever been in love, or out of it -- go see this movie.
Yonkers Joe (2008)
Yonkers Joe is one of Best Movies I've seen in Years
I'm not kidding, I'm seriously speaking from the heart now. I went to a special screening of Yonkers Joe in Manhattan not to long ago. The lights went out, the movie began, I had a full tub of popcorn. My eyes wide open we're fixed on the screen as I placed popcorn in my mouth one kernel at a time. From the first frame to the last I was transfixed into the World of Yonkers Joe. Chazz Palminteri totally blew me away with his performance. The gambling scenes we're down right amazing, then Yonkers Joe's son came into the picture and it took the story to another level. Tom Guiry plays the son with Down Syndrome, Christine Lahti is Joe's girlfriend, Michael Lerner, Linus Roache, Michael Rispoli and Roma Maffia round off this stellar cast. I'm truly excited to see this film again when it's released in January. Kudos to all involved, a great film and a must see.
