Something to look forward to. ;)

I love William H so I would see this for him alone.

Alec Baldwin was on Letterman last week talking about this movie, and even though it's a contemporary movie, it's set in something like the 50's and 60's Vegas, where the casino owners were thugs who had to beat people up regularly. Alec, of course, plays one of those guys.

I like Alec Baldwin, I find him very entertainign in interviews.
I missed this one though, shame.
I think this has the makings of a really good movie.
