Although not Joe Pesci's best film, it had enough funny moments in it for me to watch it again. Joe Pesci was at his crazy comic best. Vincent Gardenia's expressions and comedic timing helped make this an enjoyable film. Mr. Gardenia's last film. Too bad, he & Pesci would have been a good team in other future projects.

Age-Old Friends
(1989 TV Movie)
Acting as it was meant to be
22 September 1999
Very touching warm film about two elderly men supporting each other both mentally and physically in their later years. One of the better films I have ever seen produced by HBO. Vincent Gardenia and Hume Cronyn are absolutely brilliant. Both actors won and deserved Emmy's for their performances. If you wanted to become an actor, watch this film and learn from two pros.
Moonstruck
(1987)
that's amore
15 March 1999
this has to be if not the best, one of the best romantic comedies of all time. Norman Jewison has orchestrated this story and these actors to perfection. Cher is so good you would swear she was italian and grew up in Brooklyn. Nicolas Cage and Danny Aiello are very good. But along with Cher this film belongs to Vincent Gardenia and Olympia Dukakis. Their relationship is as funny and heart warming as Cher's and Cage's. Alla Famiglia!!!

life & sports/ what's the real world?
15 March 1999
this movie ranks right up there with " Pride Of The Yankees"and "Rocky" , as one of the best sports movies of all time. Vincent Gardenia was nominated for supporting actor for this film. The only injustice was that he didn't win. Robert De Niro and Michael Moriarty give very convincing performances.
Cold Turkey
