Alright, yesterday, I went to the orthodontist to get my braces tightened and fixed. While I was doing so, my dad went to some store down the street, the dollar store if I remember correctly, and found some DVD's there (obviously all for a dollar). He bought two Lone Ranger volume DVD's, some Boris Karloff/Jack Nicholson movie (The Terror), a Three Stooges DVD, and he also bought The Swap for me because it had Robert De Niro.

Apparently, Robert De Niro plays this filmmaker that gets killed and his death is sworn to be avenged by his brother. The thing about this movie is that, although the back said he would die, I didn't think it would happen after he had only been in the movie for 5 minutes, I mean damn. He's on the cover like he's a main star. I had to turn it off because I started watching before I left for school this morning. I'm really hoping it has some flashbacks with him in it or something.

I remember once, a few years back, I'd rent videos all the time. Well, I saw this movie (can't even think of the title), but had a picture of Lou Diamond Phillips on the cover (back when he was quite popular), so I rented it.

Ha ha, same thing, he was probably in the movie for 10 minutes in a few short scenes. The cover of course led you to believe he was the star. :rolleyes:

I think it probably was one of his earlier films when he was just starting out or something. They obviously do that on purpose.

DeNiro in 1971 ?? He certainly wasn't a star then. GF2 was released in '74. Prior to that (or around that time) he did "Bang the Drum Slowly" and "Mean Streets". So the DVD cover was using his star power to attract viewers.

Well, I watched some more this morning and he is in it a lot in the flashbacks and stuff when the brother is investigating, it seems like the movie is pretty good, besides some of the acting.

Hey! I bought that movie too! Yep, it was a buck. And good or bad, it has to be worth a buck :p . I still haven't watched it. I don't know why . Well actually, I watched a few minutes of it, up to the part where they were riding in a convertible towards the first of the movie. (I told you I only watched a few minutes of it :p )
