We’ve been watching a lot of movies lately:
Bourne Identity -- I’ve seen this before, but we’re going through the old ones before we watch the new one. The DVD “extras” included the original first and last scenes... which I think they were smart to remove. The commentary claimed they were removed because so shortly after 9/11 people wouldn’t have liked them, but we didn’t understand that connection. I think they were better removed because they were confusing and didn’t add to the movie.
CaddyShack --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quietchris hadn’t ever seen this classic and I was happy to see it again. CaddyShack is one of those movies that is on TV so much that you catch it half way through. In other words, you always miss the beginning. You also miss all the boobies. So, seeing it on DVD with the beginning (some of the best lines are there, as well as the introduction of the gopher subplot), and the boobies, reminded me of how great this movie was.
Inside Man -- I hadn’t seen this when it was in the theater. OMG what a great movie! Outside of the plot (no spoilers), I loved the pure new york-iness of it. There were so many great little bits of NY culture inserted in the film. For example (minor spoiler) when they can’t figure out what language something is, they play it over the loud speaker into a crowd of new yorks since “this is new york... someone will understand it”. I loved Jody Foster’s role, and wish I could have her job (and her brains). Denzel Washington was excellent... the perfect movie for him to be his smooth and cool character.
