You’re all in for a treat tonight, so grab some popcorn and be prepared to hang out at Chess Cinemas for the next few hours.
The Professional (1994) [also called Léon: The Professional] is a terrific film starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Danny Aiello, and a young Natalie Portman. Writer/Director Luc Besson does a great job of creating a storyline with compelling characters, which goes well above and beyond your standard action thriller. Jean Reno plays a professional assassin who takes in Portman as a teenage girl when her parents are killed in a police raid.
Reno’s character and the film at-large also typifies the no-nonsense 1990’s attitude, while Oldman’s character is a memorable, spazzy mess.

Some Chess boxing picks would be a great addition to the cinema. Been some good fights lately. The sport is back.
One gets the feeling that boxing is being felt of in america like it always has in mexico. The economic reality is coming thru. Depression era boxing has always been the best.
Tough to beat Raging Bull (1980).
