Movie Review "Shade"

[whiskeytown]

this video/DVD is now available in your local video store.

It involves hustlers and card mechanics in the underworld poker scene...it involves a fair degree of BS (like getting bet out of a pot instead of just getting an all-in) - but otherwise, it's one of those movies that's entertaining for a poker player to watch.

The killer part of this movie is the card tricks - it's common knowledge that a card mechanic and magician use many of the same tricks - in this movie, they do a number of tricks that are shot by the actors who were taught the finer points of manuipulating a deck...

I'm not gonna spoil the ending...but suffice it to say, I'll never play in a home game again....jesus...

good movie - you need to go rent it -
