Kiss Shot - Comedy

A OTC Billiards Movie Review

The blurb on the back of our VHS Copy makes a good summary of the movie by saying this "... Kiss Shot is rich with emotion, wit, and extraordinary performances - a delightfully uplifting tale for the entire family." And it is! It is a serious comedy about a very responsible but desperate single mom who has to bring out her old cue skills to make that evil "balloon payment". This one even non players that do not have the game under their skin and in their blood; who don't know one single thing about pool and billiards can appreciate and enjoy.

The Baron And The Kid

Starring the legendary Johnny Cash as "The Baron", and co-starring his wife June Carter Cash, Greg Webb as the "Cajun Kid", and Tracy Polland

A OTC Billiards Movie Review

Based on Johnny Cash's hit song and CMT music video "The Baron." I watched this movie years ago on TV and loved it! Basically the story line goes something like this... The "Cajun Kid" is the (Johnny Cash) Baron's estranged bitter son. A smart mouth boy who wants to be a man complete with a hot temper and a really big chip on his shoulder that needs to be knocked off.

Actress Tracy Polland is the quick and sassy girl who just makes the kid that much madder! But darned if he don't think she ain't cute and can actually shoot a straight stick! And that is all I'm gonna tell you... Go buy your own copy, which is what i'm getting ready to do because "the poolmouse" and hubby have not seen and have been looking to buy this movie for years.

Bought it! Still enjoyed it. Yes! It is a older movie and reflects a time when movies were... well, it's family friendly which is not something most movies today even try to be. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed "Poolhall Junkies" but to be honest I even have a hard time letting a 15 yr old watch "Poolhall Junkies" even with me in the room mostly because of the language content. Yea! I know they've heard it all and seen too much of it. But still....!

Shooting Gallery: a.k.a. Pool House Prophets (2005)

Movie starring Freddi Prinze Jr. All Movie Guide had this to say about the movie... Personally we were not too crazy about it when we finally got around to seeing it. However it does have a rather clever twist at the end.

REVIEWS

All Movie Guide

A billiard-savvy street-kid resorts to desperate measures after finding himself caught between a pair of veteran hustlers and a corrupt vice cop in this urban thriller directed by Keoni Waxman and starring Freddie Prinze, Jr. Jericho Hudson (Freddi Prinze Jr.) knows his way around a pool table, but he's still no match for legendary pool sharks Cue Ball Carl Bridges (Ving Rhames) and Tenderloin Tony (Angus Macfayden). With some help from his grifting girlfriend Jezebel (Roselyn Sanchez), Hudson sets a plan into motion that will draw Cue Ball Carl and crooked cop Timothy Mortensen into an dangerous confrontation, but if the plan doesn't go just as planned Hudson might not live long enough to call his next shot. Jason Buchanan

Stick Men (2001)

Not seen this movie yet. However, All Movie Guide had this to say about this movie for Pool Players:

Three small-time gamblers discover their stakes have been raised to a career high in this comedy-drama. Jack (Robbie Magasiva), Wayne (Scott Wills), and Thomas (Paolo Rotondo) compose a trio of hotshot billiards players who devote their spare time to hustling games at their favorite watering hole in New Zealand. When the boys learn that Daddy (Enrico Mammarella), a fearsome local crime czar, is organizing a high-stakes pool tournament, they decide to get in on the action, but when they learn that Dave (John Leigh), the owner of their favorite pub and hustling spot, is deep in dept to the mob, they figure that wining the tourney may be their only hope for keeping the bar open (and Dave alive). As Jack, Wayne, and Thomas prepare to square off against the sharpest Kiwi pool sharks alive, they find themselves attracting the attention of Karen (Simone Kessell) and Sara (Anne Nordhaus), a pair of beautiful women who seem to know their way around a billiard table and are more than casually interested in the boys. But what the guys don't know is that Karen and Sara are world-class pool hustlers who've been hired by Daddy's crew to distract them and throw them off their game. Stickmen was the first feature film from director Hamish Rothwell, who previously was a top director of television commercials and music videos. Mark Deming

"A GAME OF POOL"

A Game of Pool...The Twilight Zone

A OTC Billiard Mouse Movie Review:

Jack Klugman stars as Jesse Cardiff, a man obsessed; a true billiard sports pool hall junkie who is more than just a little tired of being
compared to the best pool player who had ever lived Fats Brown, who died 15 years earlier. Someone in the other zone must have heard him whinning because the ghost of Fats suddenly shows up to challenge Jesse to one game of straight pool to 300 for the title of "Best Pool Player of All Time."

What happens next? It's a Twilight zone episode what do you think happens next... Actually there are two versions, the original and years later the alternate ending debuted when this episode was remade in 1988
