618. Miller’s Crossing (1990)

*The Warlock’s doorbell rings and he opens the door. Darnell The Deliveryman pushes a package into Warlock’s chest and storms off in a huff*

W: The hell is his problem?

*Warlock shuts the door, opens the package and looks inside to see a movie with a card attached. He reads the card out loud*

W: “Lock, this was one of my favorites and I only wish we had gotten to watch it together. Its yours now so enjoy. Yours, J”

*Warlock walks inside shaking his head*

W: Welcome to Warlock’s Movie Realm for a…..fan request….yeah. That’s what we’re going with. What is the movie? Let’s find out.

*Warlock flips the DVD over to the cover and nods his head*

W: Tonight we’ll be watching the 2 hour crime drama known as MILLER’S CROSSING. Basically Gabriel Byrne is caught between rival gangster mobs and gets caught in the middle of the two factions. I’ve heard its really good but I’ve never actually seen it for myself.

*Warlock flicks his wrist and the DVD player opens. He takes the disc out of the case and puts it in the player before he takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: The cast has some great actors in it and I’ve heard good things so I’ll be going into this one with an open mind. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for MILLER’S CROSSING.
