Get Shorty

Actors:  John Travolta, Rene Russo, Danny Devito, Gene Hackman, Dennis Farina, Delroy Lindo, James Gandolfini, David Paymer

Rating: 8 out of 10, awesome send up of gangsters and especially the movie industry.  The movie obviously pokes fun at the self involvement and self importance that infects Hollywood.  I’ve just visited once but I got the same vibe off everybody.  Farina is a lot of fun as the crazed mafia don who gets no respect from Travolta but devours Hollywood types.

MVP:  Travolta is his best part ever playing the movie loving gangster Chili Palmer
