Re: Movie Review \"Shade\"
In the extra features, the guys talk about this movie being an "homage" to the Cincinatti Kid and Big Hand For the Little Lady.... Its more like a complete RIP OFF of those two movies!
Also in the features, they admit that poker players gripe about the portrayal of the game, but they wanted to make a dramatic movie that the "general" public would enjoy. Well it sucked and the general public thinks it sucks and it went directly to DVD and instead of being able to draw a good cult following of poker players, its gonna suck in this market too.
Too bad, I had some hope when I heard about this movie. I still like Stallone though. I hope Stuey or High Roller, or whatever theyre calling it these days comes out soon.
The Big Blind is supposed to be out this week, and it looks promising.
