In the new film they were playing Hold'em. And I agree, it was obnoxious to have the scene color-commented. Baccarat was the original. In the new film they were playing Hold’em.

I loved this movie and am still thinking about it a week later. Tom Wilkinson's opening monologue is just killer. Good call. I loved this movie and am still thinking about it a week later.

There have been a few movies lately that I highly recommend. Babel, The Lives Of Others, Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men to name just a few really smart "adult" dramas of the past couple of years. And I love a good popcorn flick probably more than the next guy. Transformers was one of my favorite films of last year. But these other films are nice change of pace. Definitely check out The Lives of Others if you haven't seen it. A fantastic movie.
