Scene Stealer I “The Bourne Identity” Bourne vs. Castel
This weekend Angelina Jolie dodged government officials as CIA officer Evelyn Salt in Phillip Noyce‘s newest film Salt. Although I have yet to see the film, it got my cinematic wheels turning trying to figure out my favorite spy movie. De Palma‘s Mission Impossible? Hitchcock‘s Topaz? Noyce‘s Patriot Games? There are plenty of films to choose from; some dark and brooding and others fun and action packed.

How does this director continue to enthrall us after all these years? I wish I knew, but the short answer is that it doesn’t matter. All we have to do is sit back and enjoy the show.

Censored! The Best movie Dub-Overs of All Time.
So I was watching the Coen Brothers’ cult classic “The Big Lewboski” the other day, and as a crazed Walter beat the living crap out of the car I couldn’t help but remember the way this film was famously censored for television. The Coen’s in their infinite wisdom had John Goodman himself re-dub his classic scene for TV and the result is well…brilliant. Read the rest of this entry »
