One of the most underrated films of 2014 is “St. Vincent.” I did an audio *and* video podcast with writer/director Ted Melfi yesterday. It’ll go online tomorrow. He’s got some crazy Bill Murray stories. Bill Murray is one of the greats, and, in “St Vincent,” he gives one of my very favorite Murray performances. If you ask me for his 3 best performances, I say “Caddyshack,” “Lost in Translation” and “St. Vincent.” He plays Vincent, a cranky drinking and gambling old guy who becomes a daily after-school babysitter for a single Mom (Melissa McCarthy) who moves in next door. He is one of those guys who looks at his life and says, “Is that all there is?” He’s angry. He’s broke. He’s alone. But, this kid who he starts looking after (played beautifully by Jaeden Lieberher) finds a way to break through. You will feel good about life when you leave the theatre. https://youtube/watch?v=r5BVn-eyAxA
