THE COOLER (2003) - Feb. 23, 2005
William H. Macy plays a "cooler," whose job is to bring people bad luck in a casino. His luck starts to turn when he falls in love with a waitress. Macy and Maria Bello are good as the couple, but Alec Baldwin is the real star of the show as a old-school casino boss being pushed out by a younger, Steve Wynn type. He steals every scene he's in, so you're sort of just waiting for him to pop up again in all the scenes where he's absent. The stuff with Macy and Bello was fine, but the stuff with Baldwin was so good it was hard for anything else to compare. ***
