The Cooler....(2003)... William H. Macy, Maria Bello, Alec Baldwin

The Cooler, (William H. Macy) is extremely unlucky at gambling, and he owes the Shangri-La casino over 100,000 dollars. He is so unlucky that he is hired as a "cooler," someone to gamble next to high rollers and give them some of his bad luck to stop them from winning. This arrangement works out for awhile, until Bernie has almost paid off his debt and meets a cocktail waitress (Maria Bello). The two start to fall in love and Bernie's luck begins to change. However, the old-fashioned mob boss (Alec Baldwin) isn't going to let Bernie go so easily. Meanwhile, (Ron Livingston) arrives on the scene to help update the business management of the old mobster-run casino. Also starring Joey Fatone and Paul Sorvino as lounge singers. The Cooler was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the dramatic competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
I really enjoyed this..........

The Memory Keeper's Daughter (2008) Emily Watson, Dermot Mulroney

A father separates his son from his twin sister at birth to prevent him and the mother from knowing she was born with Down syndrome. Based on the novel by Kim Edwards.

The other night there was a question I believe in a book category and the answer was The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I mentioned to Mary what a good book it was, and also said they had made a TV movie too. Yesterday when she returned from the daily post office run she slapped it down and was all smiles!
We watched it last night and it was a real tear jerker in some places, but still pretty good. I suggest the book for sure then if you're interested the movie.
