We've come to the end of June and Boys of Summer Month!   We close it out with our frist Tony Scott movie, if you can believe it. (We couldn't either!) It's 1996's The Fan with Robert De Niro, Wesley Snipes, Ellen Barkin, and a great supporting cast make this car go!   From IMDB: An all star baseball player becomes the unhealthy focus of a down on his luck salesman.   ENJOY! WHILE IT'S TRUE THE WGA STRIKE IS OVER, AND EVEN IF SAG GETS THEIR'S TOGETHER, WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE STRUGGLING FOR A WHILE. THE OVERWHELMING BURDEN OF PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND A ROOF OVER ONE'S HEAD DOESN'T END THE INSTANT THE DEALS ARE RATIFIED. IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE PRODUCTIONS GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN. THAT LEADS RIGHT INTO THE INDUSTRY'S USUAL WINTER/HOLIDAY HIATUS. WILL THAT BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR? WHO KNOWS. BUT EVEN IF THEY WORK THROUGH THAT USUAL BREAK, MANY FAMILIES ARE GOING TO NEED ASSISTANCE. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HELP. IF YOU HAVE A FEW DOLLARS TO SPARE, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMUNITY FUND. THE FUND HELPS ALL WORKERS AFFECTED BY THE STRIKE, NOT JUST ACTORS AND WRITERS.

Good Mid-June, everyone!   It's Movie #4 for Boys of Summer Month!   We have the quintessential baseball movie that is less about baseball than the poster suggests. It's Ron Shelton's Bull Durham with Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins.   From IMDB: A fan who has an affair with one minor-league baseball player each season meets an up-and-coming pitcher and the experienced catcher assigned to him.   ENJOY!
