Went to a matinee of The Taking of Pelham 123 on Saturday afternoon - an OK film, although it doesn't match up with the genuine individual charm of the 1974 subway passengers. (And it doesn't include the detail of the hi-jackers calling each other "Mr. Blue". "Mr. Gray", etc. Are the filmmakers worried that today's audience will assume they've borrowed that from Quentin Tarrantino, not realizing he was paying homage to the film with his characters in Reservoir Dogs?) Also caught this intriguing trailer.
