Get Shorty

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This movie came out in 1995, and stars John Travolta, Gene Hackman and Rene Russo.

It's adapted from the Elmore Leonard book. His writing is usually a bit light, but entertaining - airplane reading.

This movie is similarly light, following John Travolta as a shylock who decides he wants to get into the movie business. The movie cruises with a "you know everything will be alright in the end" attitude. A simple movie, simple plot, few twists here and there.

Overall, it's OK, 6.5/10. the humour is light, the action is light... it's... light.
It's not me, it's someone else.

"Get Shorty" would have been a good sub-title for the Lord of the Rings movies.
