This film trailer looks like one of the best pool movies in a very, very long time. Real actors with great camera work. Does anyone know if this was ever completed?
Hard to believe but I just watched the worst pool movie ever

Forgot about that movie
Never finished afaik. If it was they couldn't get it distributed. Guessing $$$$ wasn't there.
You have a strong stomach sir :thumbup:

For the record, I really liked Rod Steiger in his last role as the pool hall owner in Poolhall Junkies.
I recall a couple scenes, him putting something in his mouth then pulling it out and tossing it... made me laugh. Also him 'dramatically' putting on a ball cap to make a point, It didn't open quite right, but in real life, you would have ignored it or tossed it.
Of course can't beat, "...lets go outside and get some smog" or something to that effect by Walken.

I recently came across my copy of Chalk on VHS. Doesn't matter that I don't have a VHS player, because I probably wouldn't watch it again.
It is by far not the worst, but its not at the top either....

The epic tale of an ambidextrous pool player named Jericho, vowing revenge for his murdered brother. He runs into the likes of players such as the chicken foot sucking 'Cue Ball Carl', and 'Tenderloin Tony' while hanging out with a hot girl named Jezebel.
Come on, its free. :thumbup:

Watching movies, even ones that are of marginal quality, is a good idea right now to help pass the time. I DVR a movie a day for viewing the next day. I just recorded "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" which is not just a great film, but also Spencer Tracy's last film.

9 Ball makes Baron look like The Godfather.
Even Chalk was better than 9Ball. Had to wash my eyes and ears with bleach.

I watched this last night because of your recommendation.
I enjoyed it.
Really not a bad movie at all.
