    Vinny "What have you stopped here for? What's wrong with that space?"

    Tyrone "It's too tight."

    Vinny "What are you talking about, tight? You could land a jumbo fuckin jet in there."

    Sol "Leave him alone, he's a natural."

    Tyrone proceeds to reverse into a parked van.

    Vinny "Natural fuckin idiot. Tyrone, what have you done?"

    Snatch is just unbelievably good. Everytime I watch it I can't help but smile. I can't think of any other film that tops the…

    Watching Se7en 4k remastered in the cinema was an absolute treat. The level of detail Fincher brings to this film is incredible.

    For most of the film, it feels like you’re the third detective, just along for the ride. Fincher meticulously uses various tracking shots and close-ups to help build a connection to Mills and Somerset’s movements, thoughts and realizations as they experience the unraveling of each deadly sin. The gloomy, dark atmosphere is palpable throughout every scene, in an…
