Snatch

Snatch; Like a live action Looney Tunes, the antics get sillier & crazier as characters fumble their way through messed up heists & failed fixed fights. Cast is down to clown, giving stars plenty to play around with. Soundtrack rocks and story beats along fabulously. Ritchie delivers his vision; A-

Thief

Thief; Stylish heist thriller gives Caan ample space to chew scenery as a loner pro thief who gets in trouble for making connections in his life. Tangerine Dream’s cringe inducing score seriously dates the movie, with the post 70s film character study aesthetic colliding with 80s production; B-

Starring:  Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Langella, Dennis Farina, Richard Jenkins
Running Time:  1h 39min

Yet another dumb sports movie, only this time we get to see why sports movies haven't really changed in the years gone by.  The only interesting moments of this movie is when the actual basketball players get to speak.  And when they do they're funnier than Whoopi ever is.  She should stick to being a comedic figure with dramatic movies, where her true talent shines through.  This movie is supposed to be a comedy but Whoopi's energy is so low and draining that she can't carry the laughs on her own.  Another great performance by the assistant coach, who seems to take minor roles and really give them some flavour.  Overall, this movie had about three laughs, none of which came from Goldberg.

Grade: D+
