Movie Night 94:  Johnny  Dangerously (1984)
     Director:  Amy Heckerling
     Cast:  Michael Keaton, Dom DeLuise, Joe Piscopo, Danny DeVito
     Plot:  A spoofy of the 1930s gangster movies, this comedy flick follows the criminal exploits of Joe Everyman Johnny Dangerously (Keaton) as he tries to find new ways to help pay for his mother's mounting medical bills.  The funny part is that, even though he's a gangster, everyone seems to love the guy - including the Pope (DeLouise)!  However, when a reival crime boss starts a mob war with Dangerously's "family," Johnny has to jump into action and finds himself in the middle of a crazy / zaney adventure.

Since Lauren was going away to study abroad in Japan (and has been asking to see this flick since Movie Night #50), we decided to fore-go the voting and just pop the flick in!  We had some new faces at Movie Night as well, which was fun and refreshing.

There was no Movie Night last week, as we all celebrated Lauren's trip to Japan with a going-away party in South Lyon at her friend Nicole's place.  There was a bounce house, a slip-n-slide, and tons of food!  It was also the first time in 3 months that I've seen or heard from Laura (other than some sparse e-mails), which it was great to finally get to see her again.  Sadly, no one brought a camera to showcase any pictures of the fun that was had (or the sweet freakin' "garage" / bar that we had the party at), but it was a fun time and we'll all miss Lauren while she's off in the land of the rising sun!

She better take pictures, so I can live through her vicariously.  ;)

Movie Night #95 will be this week, Friday, as the count-down to Movie Night #100 continues!  Also, there's going to be a Halloween Party in October - in case you thought that I was going to skip out on my favorite holiday.  I understand that there may be some additional parties on that Friday (October 31), and since I've previously held Halloween Parties on Saturdays (mostly because the day was during the week sometime), I may try to avoid any "conflicts of interest" and keep with a Saturday celebration.  Rest assured, it'll be a fun time and everyone will be invited.  More announcements as we get closer.
