I finally watched the film Rounders this weekend. I have a DVD rental account with Screenselect and Rounders finally floated to the top of the rental list and was dispatched.
Now this film gets mentioned all of the time in the Poker community, whether that is the media or blogs, and is always referred to as 'the' Poker movie. I must admit after watching it, I have to agree. Actually it is so soaked in Poker references, I think some people might struggle to understand some of the narration.
But hell, who cares. It is a good film (even with John Malkovitch's hilarious Russian mobster portrayal) and I am thoroughly glad I have seen it.
This is the good thing about Screenselect, for £15 a month I can see as many films or TV programmes that I can physically watch. We have been hammering through TV series we failed to see on TV like Scrubs and ST:Enterprise or just episodes we missed. We have also been watching some films that we missed at the cinema (fairly common event with small kids) or just old classics e.g. we watched Some Like it Hot recently. There has not been much on TV recently, so this service (along with a re-run through my Babylon 5 collection) has been a nice distraction at home from the current hectic schedule at work.
