Not as good as going yourself, but that’s next year, right? Anyone know a good real estate agent?
Guy Ritchie may not be with Madonna any more, but to our way of thinking, that’s her loss. He’s written and directed two of the most entertaining “caper” flicks of all time. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, is a clever (and hilarious) insta-classic. But Snatch is even more complex and entertaining.
The plot’s a lot more convoluted that can be explained here, but it involves diamond smuggling, fixed illegal boxing matches, and a tribe of Irish gypsies. Brad Pitt is one of the gypsies who is hired to throw a fight and he’s hilarious. It’s his very best role—even better than 12 Monkeys. The guy can actually act.
An added bonus is the character names: “Boris The Blade,” “Franky Four Fingers,” “Bullet Tooth Tony,” and “Brick Top.” Love it.

For a long time, La Tienda was the only place to get genuine Spanish foods. From authentic paella supplies to jamon serrano (cured mountain ham) and Spanish regional sausages such as morcilla, butifarra, and chorizo, La Tienda is still the best.
Other featured items include cheeses (more than just manchego), olives of all types, several brands of olive oil, almonds, rice, canned fish, and, maybe best of all, sweets such as turron, chocolates and cookies.
For the true aficionado, there’s also the world’s best ham–jamon iberico. It’s expensive, but take it from one who’s had it, the flavor is intense, all you need is a little.
Prices are reasonable for the quality and selection you get and shipping is quick.
