Well, the names "Bridger" and "Charlie Croker"-which I thought was a nice
touch...

I went with an open mind too-and because the previews and publicity looked
interesting and fun. I was pleasantly surprised! It was good! It was FUN!
People clapped and cheered and laughed. In fact, at the end-the audience
applauded! (The last time I went to the movies was to see "The Matrix
Reloaded"-at the end, people got up and left, looking a little numbed and
dazed-maybe it was the stupendously bad acting by Keanu Reeves that did it,
or the torturously unenjoyable, undecipherable story...the firt one was so
much better!)
Anyway-"The Italian Job" was really fun. I love L.A. and it was really cool
to see all the places I've driven my Spitfire dozens of times-except the
L.A. River (I've ALWAYS wanted to do that!)
Highly recommended-if I hadn't gone at a matinee, I'd even pay full price
for that one!
