guy richie. sophmore effort. good. yes. (Score 1)

in the two days since its been released, i've seen it twice. once with my ex-girlfriend. (which made it all the more anxious). that was on the release date. i saw it again on saturday, the day after release. well. i missed the part with the introduction to sol and vinny the first time around so i didn't notice that the 'dag' they had (you know the one who snatches everything of import.) was one and the same with the one turkish and tommy had for but a fleeting moment. at any rate. these sort of things are what i've come to expect from guy richie. the large car crash in the middle of the movie (i SOOOO called it, especially the part where boris gets hit by the car) is classic. i mean in lock, stock, and two smoking barrells there is the guy on fire scene. a smaller scale version of the latice of coincidence in snatch. which brings me to another point. everything in snatch is BIGGER. bigger stars. larger amounts of violence. more over the top characters. (hachet harry ain't got nothing on brick top in pure hardassness). my ex was sad to see benicio deltoro go so quickly in the movie, but i think it adds to the humor. one of the few movies where i think violence as a medium works. if you haven't seen it. see it. if you have seen it. see it again and again and again. look for every neat little thing. like cousin avi's I NY mug, and boris' I moscow mug. if you don't see it, sie germans may get you. and don't forget to get the cornflower blue caravan (fight club reference? ahem.) although not as groundbreaking as lock, stock (as its VERY similar) its much better due to lack of budget restrictions. see it. bye.
