adverse movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'adverse'. i recognized mickey rourke, lou diamond phillips, and sean astin in it. while watching the special features, which included a music video and the trailer, i also found out penelope ann miller was nicole, the main character's mom. this is a crime thriller, and i do like thrillers. it is about an uber driver that finds out his sister, who he is guardian for, is in debt to a crime syndicate. eventually the main character is working for the crime syndicate. memorable is that one of the henchmen has a speech problem. and the crime boss, played by rourke, reveals that he had played minor league baseball. at times it is hard to understand what his character is saying. in one scene where the sister is on the run from the henchmen, i said 'of course it is easier to outrun somebody with a limp'. also notable is the main character's neighbor, who we see whenever he goes out for a smoke. and when he is an uber driver, some ladies are drinking in his car and say they won't throw up in it, but they do. 

after the movie was done it was time to get on the road to get errands done, first thing was to go to the post office. all four orders of postcards were there. then it was on to drop off recycle, and then to the gas station to return the movie and get lunch. i moved up going to aldi for my weekly grocery order, as i had expected to see the iowa hawkeye game in the college basketball tournament on CBS. but it wasn't, it was on cable. iowa won, saw some of the highlights. i was interested in what venues were being used, as the NCAA wanted to keep it in indianapolis due to the pandemic. there were six, including two outside the city in west lafayette and bloomington. first time i had heard about the venues at butler university and at the state fairgrounds. i had heard of the NBA and NFL venues, rounding out the four in the hub city. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 37 cents.
