I know this is my second review/comment about The Commitments ( my first one being over four years ago) but I gotta say I just watched it for the first time with the "closed-captioning" on, and it's like a whole new movie for me!! I highly recommend this to everyone who's ever watched the movie and I'll guarantee you'll be amazed at what you missed in dialog. As many times as I've watched the movie, I always picked up a little more (dialog-wise) than the previous time. Now I know the whole story & all the background dialog. It's almost like a "Director's Cut" or the "Uncut" version. Don't knock it till you try it! Still my #1 favorite movie.

On a side note, I'm sure most of you know Glen Hansard, who played "Outspan" in the movie won an Academy Award for Best Original Song this year from the movie "Once". I bought the movie used at Blockbuster for $5,just on the strength of the box's liner notes. I loved the movie, but had no clue the male lead was "Outspan". But the more I looked at his facial expressions, especially his eyes, I kept saying to myself,God, I know this guy! Picked up my Commitments DVD, but no actors names were on the box, so I got my Commitments CD Soundtrack out and sure enough, Glen Hansard's name was listed. If you haven't seen the movie("Once")give it a try. It's got some great songs in it( almost all original, written by Glen and his co-star Marketa Irglova) Well, that's enough for me. I'll write some more in another four years. Marty

score 10/10
