    You should watch either Revolver or Real Rock 'n Rolla Ginsue. They are both by Guy Ritchie and I bet you'll like either one of them. Just because I've seen some weird movies, doesn't mean that they all are.

    I've decided that I've never seen a DiCaprio movie that I didn't like. That includes Titanic, which I refused to watch for several years because of all the hype. During the scene where they have sex for the first time, I laughed my head off at the irony of them being in the middle of the ocean on a huge boat, and because of the time period there were only a few cars in the world, and yet they still lost their virginity in a car.

    Okay, I'll admit that the preview for Revolver looks exactly like something I'd enjoy - gona have to find it and check it out.

    I was trying to place the guy playing Mr. Green but was at a loss until the credits rolled - Jason Stratham. wow, I didn't recognize him visually, but his voice...

    Thanks for the nudge Stuart and MB888 - this is one I probably would have overlooked.

    I really like the gun play in Revolver. Real Rock n' Rolla is awesome as well; has Gerard Butler in it.

    EDIT: I'm about to go to sleep, but if I had Revolver still, I'd watch it right now. Love that movie.

    EDIT 2: In American films, Jason Stratham and Gerard Butler are in mostly shitty movies. They are great in these Guy Ritchie films though.

    Anybody ever watch Lucky Number Slevin? I remember really liking this movie. Haven't seen it for a few years.

    Watched Machete. Pretty fun action movie. If you get keyed up over the immigration issue, skip this one.

    I loved the original "True Grit" with JW. I, too, was torn about seeing it because I thought, "Why just watch a remake when I can watch the Duke in the original?"

    But I did some reading and found the reviews positive and that it was faithful to the book. So yesterday, my son/DIL/wife and I went to see it.

    While it was very similar to the original, their were some differences that added up to a worthwhile experience. I don't see many movies in theaters...last one was "Gran Torino"...but I'm glad I saw this one.

    When watching westerns there are 3 actors by whom I judge all others: John Wayne, Robert Duvall and Clint Eastwood. After this movie I may have to add Jeff Bridges to the list. And the young girl that played Mattie did a fine job, too.

    The modern touches, such as very slightly more graphic realism (gunshot wounds, etc...) were an improvement. That's not to say there was a lot of blood and gore. There wasn't. Just a little more realism. And the sounds were a tremendous improvement over the original. The scenery and cinematography were good, but I'd say no better than the original. Guns seemed to be very realistic.

    All in all, I was pleased and enjoyed the movie. It's probably one I'll get on DVD...as a matter of fact, I'll probably get both the new and the original.

    I'd give it two thumbs up. And for those like me who hate going to theaters, it's worth it...unless you have a really superb home theater system you'll miss out. It was meant to be seen on the big screen.
