The Bruce Report- Volume 98

The Bruce Report- Volume 98
The Regular Guy Movie Reviews
Papa Hemingway- 2 Little Brucies
Some historical content, but i found the content and acting very average! Go see it if you are fan of Ernie!
Mothers Day- 2. 5 Little Brucies
Can be a little tear jerker! For the ladies 
Keanu- 1.5 Little Brucies
No, it's not about actor Keanu Reeves, it's about a lost cat and how Comedians Key and Peale try to get him away from hoodlums and gang members! Awful! 
My Favorite Cooks- Not Chefs
Mama Lena Bertucci
Rose Mazetti- (My Nona)
Mary Gandolfi- ( My Aunt)
Dori Bertucci- (My sister in law)
Maria Pichetti
Mrs Medici
Donna Piracchi
Virginia Menucci
Lina Lunardi
Hoss Favelli (Ex wife) When she is not angry!
These ladies were awesome!   
Thoughts And Stuff
We have a Fountain of Youth! Have about a Fountain 
of Smarts!
Learn from your parents mistakes! Use Birth control!
Money isn't everything but it sure keeps the kids in touch!
Why do people leave out auto's worth thousands of dollars, but store junk in their garage?
Why is is it called rush hour, when the traffic is the slowest?
When we were utes we called cigarettes, fags! Now it is an insult!
We called bald guys Cue Balls now bald is beautiful!
Why Do Morons Always Find Me
So  i went to the post office in Highwood to buy stamps and mail packages! The bill was $39 and i only had $37 in small bills! So i pulled out a$100 and the genius behind the counter said she could not cash it because she only had $ 100 in small bills in the drawer! Being able to add and subtract, i said give me back $61 and i would leave! She said she couldn't do it! Wondering why, i asked to see the Postmaster and she also said she couldn't do it because there would be no change for the other customers! Now my Italian temper was starting to burn! So i said after i leave go to the bank and get some change! She said she couldn't leave the P.O. and replied that i had seen her out at lunch in Highwood so it's O.K. to feed your fat ass then it was all right to leave the building! So Little Brucie had to drive to the bank and change his C-note and go back for the last time to the Highwood P.O.! I think God said to all the morons on the North Shore, "Go find Little Brucie and aggravate him"! You can't beat fun at the old ball park! i feel better now! 




 It looks like a great weekend for Mothers Day! Remember their is nothing better than a mothers love! See you next week!

The Bruce Report- Volume 96

The Bruce Report- Volume 96
The Regular Guy Movie Reviews
Criminal - 2 Little Brucies
A very hard to believe film! The plot is OK, but the movie tries to make us think that the events can happen! Wait for the DVD! 
Everybody Wants Some - 2 Little Brucies
It's about a college baseball team that wants to get drunk, smoke pot and get laid in a four day period! I found it average! Young teens and mid twenty's will like it more than i did!
Miles Ahead - 3 Little Brucies
A great performance by Don Cheedle sets the tone of a ten year period of Miles Davis's life! Worth seeing! AA worthy!  
New Televisions Shows
Just letting you know that i seldom watch reality shows  (Except The Voice) so there will never be a review of them!
The Catch-ABC- 7 Tortellacci's- A little far fetched, but leads Peter Krause and Mirielle Enos have a great chemistry and i think this show has a chance to survive!
Game Of Silence- NBC- 6.5 Tortellaccis- A loose remake of the movie Sleepers where four young boys are sent to a youth prison and are forced to have sex with the guards and warden! Now it is payback time! I will give it a little more time!
The Real O'neals- ABC- 3 Little Tortellacci's- Not funny! Walk on by! Couldn't carry Modern Family or The Goldbergs jocks!
Dice- HBO- 5 Little Tortellecci's- 2 episodos seen and i am not impressed! Stick to stand up Andrew!
Criminal Minds Beyond Borders- CBS- 5.5 Tortellacc's- Even though it stars Highland Parks own Gary Sinese it is not very interesting or exciting! I hope the show makes it! In case you didn't know Gary does a lot for veterans!

The Bruce Report- Volume 95

The Bruce Report- Volume 95 
`
The Regular Guy Movie Reviews
I Saw The Light- 3 Little Brucies!
Nice Bio of the short life of Hank Williams! Excellent music plus a great performance by Tom Hiddleson!
Boss- 2 Little Brucies
A few funny parts in this Melissa McCarthy comedy! Foul language, but a lot of stupidity! 
God Is Not Dead 2- 2.5 Little Brucies
Nice story, with you can guess, religious overtones!
Meet The Blacks- 1 Little Brucie
I would rather meet my ex wife than watch this awful, unfunny
film! How do crappy movies make the big screen!
Demolition- 2.5 Little Brucies
Nice performance by Jake Gynenhall  in the sad weird film!
Hardcore Harry- 2 Little Brucies
A lot of shoot em up action, except that you are watching the film from Henry's viewpoint! That means the camera is bouncing up and down! Very discerning!
My Name Is Doris- 2.5 Little Brucies 
Sally Field puts on a quite a show as a 70 year old hanging with 30 year olds! A little too cute for me but the ladies will love it! 
Highland Park- A Nice Place To Caddy
Back in the sixty's there were 7 place to caddy and the pay varied at each place!
Old Elm- The pay was OK, but with only 150 male members who had a second club Shore Acres- Onwentsia- Exmoor- Knollwood there was not a lot of play!
Highland Park Country Club- HPCC opened in 66 and was not a great place to make a few dollars!
Exmoor- A Lot of play, paid $3.50 later $4.00 a bag! Most members gave a 50 cent tip unless you carried for Peer Pederson or Jim Fitsgerald who gave you a dollar!
Sunset Valley- Yes back in those days they had caddies! Paid $3.00 a bag and when their wallet opened the moths flew out!
Bob-O-Link! Another men only club the had wonderful members and paid pretty well! Had the great Joe DePalma as their coniving caddymaster
Northmoor- Paid $ 5.50 a bag and had tons of play! No tipping! I once had a guest had me a five dollar bill and the member took it out of hands and gave it back to his guest! Said he will take care of the caddy! 50 years later i am still waiting! But the classy Herb Decker did give me a $100 tip when he won a big event! That's why i always take care of the caddy!
Lakeshore- No play during the week but the best group of guys called "The Boys" Greens superintendent Adolph Bertucci would leave them little care packages around the course to clench their thirst and then meet them at Willies's or Scornavacco's for lunch! Caddies made good money at Lake Shore!
But all the private clubs would sponsor caddies for  A Chick Evans Scholarship and gave a lot of North Shore kids a free ride to a Big Ten School and Marquette! Young Nick Castelli from HP just received one from Bob -o-Link!
Others i can remember are Richard Biondi- Jerry Nustra- Shane Rafferty- Mile Fiore and many more!


The Winery
My friend Lorenzo De Vito of Highwood has bought the old American Legion building on Highwood Avenue and will soon be doing a massive overhaul to the 90 year old building! It will be called the Winery and feature wines from all over the world plus food and entertainment! So Fabulous! Good luck Lorenzo!
End OF AN ERA
For over 70 years a Bertucci has been handling Memorial Day Ceremony's honoring the 22 heroes from Highwood that passed away during the past wars! Bruno 70 and Bruce One! I was told that the new commander of the American Legion and the commander of the VFW are taking over and my services will not be required! Sad, but i am sure they will do a good job!

Sorry about last week but it was unavoidable, but like a bad habbit i'm baaaack! See you on the flip side
