Billy Bob Thornton, who claims to have been such a big baby at birth that it was front page news in his home town’s newspaper in Arkansas. He is of  Irish ancestry on his father’s side and his mother is half Choctaw and half Italian.

So the Kernel kept muttering something about his “crime spree days” that may or may not have included stealing food from other dogs and being “on the lam”… and I’m thinking who is this strange little dog that followed me home? Should I be checking the FBI’s most wanted list?

This all came up when we were talking about this week’s movie; Bandits. Have you seen it?

It’s about these two bank robbers who become known as the Sleepover Bandits when they invade a bank manager’s home in order to get his help in robbing his bank. It is a bit of a twisted tale because these two guys are so funny and likeable that you kind of want them to get away with it.

They are played by the always loveable Bruce Willis and the crazy character actor Billy Bob Thornton. These guys are both two of my favorites. Have you see Pushing Tin? That’s another Billy Bob movie that you have to check out.

Also in this movie is the beautiful and graceful Cate Blanchett. I got a kick out of seeing her a little mixed up and messed up. She plays a lonely housewife who accidently joins the robbers and can’t decide which of the guys she likes better.

It is a fun movie with some interesting twists… speaking of twisted (again) here comes Kernel needing me to tie his shoes for him. He says he wants to take me for a walk. I just shake my head.

I hope you enjoy the movie. And next week (Friday, September 24) we’ll be watching Life or Something Like It starring Angelina Jolie.

I look forward to reading your comments.
