Tony Manero
18, Key Cities
This is a Chilean film of the kind that is probably only showing at an independent cinema quite far from you until last Thursday but that is life, so get over it. Also, the only Easter alternative seemed to be a big action flick starring Vin Diesel whom I have nothing against personally, but whose performance in The Pacifier I did not admire particularly. (I also felt Arnold Schwarzenegger had rather got in first as the big, tough guy who comically does babysitting in Kindergarten Cop, but that may be just me.)
Anyway, I didn’t see Tony Manero at the cinema, because the distributors were kind enough to lend me a ‘screener’, which is what film people call DVDs, and you will have to continue calling a DVD, not being a film person up there with someone like me.
