Movie: "Smokin' Aces" (2006)

It's no longer in the just-released-on-DVD stage, even though it feels like it's still just around that time. I worked in the local video store back then, even had a promotion t-shirt with a cool print on the backside. A couple of weeks ago a colleague my tee and he was like: "Whoa! You must admit - that movie rules!"

I almost felt ashame when saying "Erhm, err, well, actually, havn't seen it". So, after that day I knew I just had to go rent it. So, the other day we did, me and my beloved fiancé, the latest [released] film by the man who directed the well tributed movie Narc around five years ago. This was going to become interesting.

So, yesterday evening we watched it. It was OK. To be honest, I feel out of sorts when watching a movie that starts with hundreds of fast cuts, dunno if it's like I'm acknowledging a weakness, but I just can't help that I get easily confuzed under those circumstances. This was one of those moments. Almost half an hour into the film I started feeling really inflamed, twisting around in the sofa. Yeah, I'm admitting it, I'm just an ordinary human being; a human being that sometimes needs at least a little time to parse any input that goes through my mind. So, who was on who's side? And those faces, was those the three brothers? Erhm, hmm..

Anyways, the pieces fell into place (like they usualy do) a while later, and we watched the silly act for over 1 hour and 50 minutes. Well, what can I say. It wasn't as groovy as I'd hoped. Anyways, now it's on the SEEN-list and that was that.

I've heard about a new Pacino flick called 88 Minutes.
Interesting.. :-)

Hope ya'll get a sweet weekend!
Can't stop hoping for them hot degrees to come now, I wanna ball..
