And as is so often the case, we seem to be getting it just about last (September!).

there was a sneak peak on May 7th here in Richmond, Va USA .. Ive already seen it and put up a small review. I didnt go to much into it simply because I dont like to ruin a movie for those who havent seen it yet.

Number Plates

My wife chides me for this, but I am always looking for incongruous details in movies to find flaws in the prop or scene director's work. The most common flaw is a non-period detail, such as contrail in a Western sky or a cell phone antenna in a 1950's city scene.

Already in the Italian Job trailer are number plates that were apparently pulled off of junkyard wrecks. The '2S' series of California license plates, if I'm not mistaken, were last issued in the mid 1990's. Any other California driver notice this?

It really sucks that the UK has to wait until September, mind you, you'll probably be able to find it on the net somewhere. But thats not as exciting as the theatres is it!?
