Finally, sixteen years after its release, I got round to watching Get Shorty last night on DVD. A good Elmore Leonard adaptation, (But what happened in the end to Miguel Sandoval and his crew? [That guy has made a career playing Colombian drug barons.]) made even better by the presence of Rene Russo, who brings added value to every movie she makes. I note that after a long absence she’s back playing Odin’s wife Frigga in the otherwise ridiculous Thor, alongside Sir Anthony Hopkins as the Big O. For that reason alone, I will buy the DVD.

Tonight I may watch the sequel, Be Cool; which brings me to Uma Thurman . . .
