In Good Company

Posted to Drama on October 27th, 2006 by Chad Everett

Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) should be living the good life. He’s working as the head of ad sales for a major sports magazine and getting ready to coast into the best years of his life.

Unfortunately, the magazine has just become the part of a larger company in a corporate takeover, and he’s been “demoted” (which has to be better than being “downsized”) in the shakeup.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
