Don’t get me wrong, I like Ronin but it’s been on at least once a week all summer. Enough already! I heard this mentioned on the radio the other day. In every De Niro movie he has a phrase he says over and over again. It’s part of his acting style I guess. In this movie it’s: Draw it again. Draw it again! DRAW IT AGAIN! ---

I think some of these movies aren’t going to video. 🙂 Let’s see… The Matrix has been running most of the summer, Price of Egypt (Which I like). Disney has been running Super Mario Brother’s off and on for months, Ghostbusters has been on HBO (I think) for ages, Braveheart, and Jackie Chan has had Who Am I and Gorgeous on at the same time! ---

But DeNiro is so cool in Ronin. He also is very cool in Jackie Brown. ---

The car chase scene in Ronin was rather hard to believe, even by Hollywood standards. I mean, they’re chasing each other the wrong way down a highway, through traffic. I don’t see how anyone could actually survive that. ---

I like how they all look so nervous during the chase and Jean Reno keeps glancing over at De Niro as if to say “This isn’t safe!” ---

And it looked terrific in the theater…
