I just watched "Brooklyn Lobster" for the first time and was blown away by the fine performances and its story.

Filmed in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay, it tells the story of a man who owns a lobster restauarant/retail outlet who faces losing his business and his family. Danny Aiello plays this guy who loves both. Danny Aiello is ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! as is Jane Curtin who plays his wife. Its a poignant, hard hitting drama well worth seeing.

Its a WONDERFUL character study (other family members and friends) and its nicely told. You'll see some of Aiello's "29th Street" character reinvented here (and I think thats his best role).

Martin Scorsese had SOMETHING to do with this film (but its not listed in the credits).

Check it out! (its on "On Demand" on the local cable stations now).
