I have yet to attend Top of the Park this year (or any of the years I've been in Ann Arbor, actually). In fact, I haven't been since I was in high school. So I brought up the prospect of attending last night when I phoned lameautarch. However, he works early and the movie, Dr. No, didn't start until 10:00 p.m. (Also, I'm not a big Bond fan.) So, instead, we rented Snatch, a movie I'd been intending to see since it came out six years ago.

My analysis: Good, and if I were more awake it probably would have been really interesting, with its twists and turns. But it still was not as good as its predecessor, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Lock, Stock is a movie I recommended very highly to friends when it first came out, and I still give it high marks. If you've never seen it, you should definitely rent it.

I enjoyed Lock, Stock a lot - it's what convinced me Guy Ritchie could direct. Snatch seemed taken right from that mold, but it just didn't have the same maniacal energy.

This is so weird. This is like the third time I've had a conversation about Lock, Stock this last two weeks! I caught that on IFC on cable a year or so ago, and have Snatch on, can you dig it, VHS. I like them both but liked Lock, Stock better. I thought it was more subtle (subtler?).
