I'm tempted just to say "The Avengers," as it seems like a cross between the Marvel movie and the Steed/Peel movie.

George

You should have gone with your temptation.

Actually, in the UK, they changed the name of the more recent movie for the release.

("Marvel's Avengers Assemble" "Marvel Avengers Assemble" "Avengers Assemble")

since "Avengers" there implies the Steed/Peel team.

Here's another TRIPLE.

A sruggling musician sells his soul for stardom to Harry Tophet- then later ends up trying to

petition a Higher Authority to re-negotiate for him. He ends up trapped in an elevator with

a handful of sinners who all begin to die mysteriously- is Harry Tophet secretly among the

passengers? He's probably not the young attorney who's been facing a similar deal with his

new boss and has ended up in the same elevator....

(Hey, this really would have livened up the second movie, which isn't very old but isn't

very well-known. It has been on television more than a little, at least on cable.)

It stars GEORGE BURNS, AL PACINO and a bunch of people you've never heard of.

(Chris Messina, Bokeem Woodbine, Matt Craven, Joshua Peace, Zoie Palmer,

Logan Marshall-Green, Geoffrey Arend, Jenny O'Hara..)

Actually, I know Bokeem Woodbine and Geoffrey Arend from TV. Still don't know the movies.

There's 3 movies. Think a minute. Are you sure you don't even have the THIRD movie?

Mrs Wolf glanced over and got the third movie before any actors was mentioned.

(She hasn't seen the first 2 from the round, and she hasn't even heard of

the first one from the round-but you have, at some point.)

Here's another TRIPLE.

A sruggling musician sells his soul for stardom to the infernal 'Harry Tophet'- (George Burns)

then later ends up trying to petition THE Higher Authority (George Burns) to intervene and re-negotiate

on his behalf. He ends up trapped in an elevator with a handful of sinners who all begin to die

mysteriously- is 'Harry Tophet' secretly among the passengers?

He's probably not the young attorney who's been facing a similar deal with his

new boss and has ended up in the same elevator....

It stars GEORGE BURNS,Ron Silver, AL PACINO, Keanu Reeves and a bunch of people you've

probably never heard of. (Chris Messina, Bokeem Woodbine, Matt Craven, Joshua Peace, Zoie Palmer,

Logan Marshall-Green, Geoffrey Arend, Jenny O'Hara..)

Now I know the first and the last. The elevator one is still unknown.

George

When I do my rare triples, it generally is with one movie having a one-word

title, and it being the link between the others.

As Raf said, I could have gone from movie 1 to movie 3 without mentioning movie 2.

With that in mind, if you've gotten 1 and 3, what would this one be called?

"Oh, God, You Devil's Advocate"

George

That's it.

"Oh God, You Devil" was the third "Oh, God" movie, and went in an interesting direction.

I thought it was pretty profound. Then again, I haven't sat down to see the first one yet.

It sounds more my speed.

"Devil" was a small horror movie. It's gotten more than a little TV airplay on cable,

which is how I stumbled across it. For a horror movie, I thought it was pretty

interesting. It certainly was a nice break from horror movies that rely on the

gross-out or splatter to be memorable.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1314655/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

You've all heard of "The Devil's Advocate." It's another movie where Keanu plays

a clueless protagonist against a good actor playing a complex villain.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118971/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

After writing it out, I thought that having the 2 guys from movies 1 and 3

end up in the elevator in "Devil" would have elevated the movie considerably.

(At least people like them. Movie would have taken one HECK of a plot-twist.)
