Guy Ritchie's return to formula

 
The filmmaker's British crime-caper 'RocknRolla' gets him back into the genre where he made his reputation a decade ago with 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.' > LIKE many English pubs, the Punch Bowl carries quite a history. The Mayfair drinking establishment first started serving ale in the middle of the 18th century, when King George II ruled. Like some pockets of London, though, the two-story tavern turned into a grimy relic of a forgotten era -- the janitor did the pub's cooking and the beer was as uninspiring as the ambience. (link)
