The sight of Ricky Jay pronouncing the Mametesque pretentious boast, "He's so cool that when sheep go to sleep they count him," just made me utter: "Oh, Brother!"

That, and the thought of Rebecca Pidgeon trying to play a sexy femme fatale in another one of her husband's films. Too bad. I really enjoyed Mamet's "Glengarry Glenn Ross."

The best heist film of the year was "Sexy Beast," and the heist was secondary to the character conflicts in that film. Ben Kingsley rules!
