Rocknrolla

Remember when Guy Ritchie was the shit?

There was a period during my misguided but nevertheless enjoyable years at USM in which SNATCH was the coolest thing in the world. I saw it in the theater with DANNYBOY, JD and ROOMIE DAVE and was blown away. When it came out on DVD, it was basically on permanent rotation in our living room (along with SUPER TROOPERS and I think FIGHT CLUB). Guy Ritchie was THE MAN…a poppier Tarantino with an eye for quirky, non-stop entertainment.

And then Madonna ruined everything. Of course, there’s more to the downfall of Guy Ritchie, but it’s easiest to blame Madonna, so I’ll do that (stupid Madonna).

Anyway, after several debacles, disasters and ghost comebacks (and one dreadfull rip-off…sorry people, but SMOKIN’ ACES was a painful entry in the “this could have been so awesome” category), Guy Ritchie is (potentially) back! Check out the trailer for his new back to basics flick, ROCKNROLLA, here.

And yes, that is THE PIVEN sporting a bar-brit accent…
