THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD

...Who actually isn't that great, but doesn't realize that he's really a washed up mentalist. But what a great movie, saw it this afternoon at the Polk Theater. If you don't have a small independent movie theater near you, you may not get to see this until it comes out on video. John Malkovich is incredible as the hand-shaking Buck Howard, and Tom Hanks' son Troy is the narrator and Buck's new personal assistant. The neatest part of the movie is all the cameos by famous and no longer famous people - Tom Hanks,George Takei, Tom Arnold, Ricky Jay, Steve Zahn, and even Donnie Most (Ralph Malph on Happy Days!) Plus others too numerous to mention. A great story, with a happy ending, something any fan of John Malkovich needs to see. Or just movie fans in general...
C'mon, get off your ass and track it down...you won't regret it...
