| The Cooler - 2003 | |
 | When the Born Loser falls in love, what happens to the lifetime of bad luck that's been the one consistent thing in his life? It changes to good luck and the only thing he's able to count on is the chaos that ensues ... Macy is Bernie Lootz, whose mere presence is such a buzzkill that he's paid to be a casino "cooler," a man who sidles up and puts a kibosh on any hot streak. Then he falls into a sweet relationship with waitress Natalie (Bello), and all of a sudden, his dead plants are perking up, his missing cat reappears and Bernie's good luck seems to be contagious for everyone in the casino. Tough guy casino boss Shelly (Oscar nominee Baldwin), of course, is displeased with his cooler's new lady luck. And a messy situation with Bernie's scamming son re-ups Bernie's almost paid gambling debt to the mobster, halting Bernie's plans to flee Vegas with Natalie ... until, in a delicious bit of irony, Bernie and Natalie are saved by a huge case of someone else's bad luck. The jackpot scene: Shelly's bathroom scene with an Ivy League business whiz (Ron Livingston), who's been sent to nudge old school Shelly out of the operation. It's a vicious, but satisfying confrontation that seals both Shelly's doom and Bernie's hopeful future. |
| Kung Fu Mahjong - 2005 | |
 | The popular stars of the outrageous Hong Kong blockbuster KUNG FU HUSTLE reunite for another zany martial-arts comedy in director Wong Jing's KUNG FU MAHJONG. West (Wah Yuen) is a professional gambler who thinks he's hit the jackpot when he meets a RAIN MAN-like waiter, Wong (Roger Kwok), who has a photographic memory of mahjong titles. Together, the partners in crime attempt to scam their way through a mahjong tournament but encounter a slew of obstacles--including jealous opponents and the enmity of Wong's butt-kicking boss, Auntie Fei (Qiu Yuen)--leading to a zany odyssey of over-the-top comedy, high-flying martial-arts action, and suspenseful mahjong gaming. |
