Critics need to play pool more often

While scanning the many rows of dvd at Blockbuster I came upon a movie that sparked my intrest, that intrest is pool. While I consider myself a modest player, I still know more than most about the ways of pool. I believe that the way this movie expressed the lifestyle of a pool player/hustler was dead on. People that play the game would understand that. Mars Callahan and Rick Schroder are a lot more believeable as poolplayers than Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. This movie is the "Hustler" and "The Color of Money" of it's time. I will forever hold Mars Callahan at a higher standard because of this movie and cannot wait until his next release. The only negitive about this movie is that I didn't get to see it in the theater where it should have been released. And Mars, if your ever around Fayetteville Arkansas look me up so we can play a few games and I can find out how good you really are.
