Last night we watched House of Games, a Mamet movie from 1987. Typical of early Mamet works, the dialog was very stylized. Yes, I would say stylized. It was.... It is memorable because of the sytle. Anyway, I can only rate it a 4 because I thought the acting was flat too. I am trying not to judge the script too harshly given its time frame. I mean, we are such an educated audience these days, that the "unexpected" twist seemed completely obvious. Basically, it was not very good. Other than that, I am gearing up for the trip to the Grand Canyon. We leave tomorrow afternoon!
