I have been hearing rumors now for awhilethat they are going to be making "Without Remorse" inot a movie, but nothing so far. Biggest problem is that with the exception of "Hunt For Red October" all of the Clancy movis have been totally butchered from the books. (Even Red October is a maybe) I just LOVE the part in Without Remorse where he puts the guy in the decompresion chamber. OUCH!!!!

I hit Blockbuster today to exchange for three more DVDs using my trusty Movie Pass. I don't recall whether or not it was released in theaters, but I found a new release written and directed by David Mamet called, "Spartan" starring Val Kilmer.

The characters are not well developed, but it was an entirely entertaining film. Val Kilmer is one of my favorite actors and he got to sport a fairly stock 1911A1 with aftermarket sights through most of the movie. The concept of the modern white slave trade and its connections to Southwest Asia (in this case, the UAE and Yemen) was an important plot element, and an idea that I've been wanting to incorporate into a short story or novel some day for several years.

I liked it enough that I'll probably buy a copy if it ever hits a reasonable price at Target or Wal*Mart.

I watched "Man on Fire" this morning, based on a recommendation of a gym buddy. It was EXCELLENT.

Dakota Fanning may be the best child actor ever.

I almost concur. Had it come in at closer to two hours, it would have been a perfect movie....

I concur with the last sentence.....

I didn't realize it was so long until it was over, I was so engrossed in the film. I don't know where you could have cut it down without losing some character development. The kidnap scene was too long for me but not for cinematic reasons. I reacted so viscerally, I didn't realize I was shaking with anger until my husband told me to relax. Those protective instincts just come out! I truly pity the first boy who takes my daughter on a date when she gets older :P

Pretty good one liners here and there....especially one from Christopher Walken, "His art is death and he's about to paint his masterpiece." I'd recommend it.
