Rewatched COLLATERAL (still a great film, 15 years on – and yes, I still love the oft-maligned third act: it’s the closest we’ll ever get to a Michael Mann-directed monster movie… speaking of which, we need a new Michael Mann crime film; I refuse to believe that the disappointing PUBLIC ENEMIES (the trailer, with Otis Taylor’s “Ten Million Slaves,” remains the best part) is his final statement on the genre) last night and I have two questions: does Jada Pinkett get Jamie Foxx out of the shitload of trouble he’s in after not only assaulting the cop post-taxi flip but also from Ramón’s trunk peek? Also: how long does Tom Cruise stay on the subway – and who finds him?
P.S. The sooner the Criterion Channel makes an Amazon channel or XBoxOne app, the sooner they can have my money; I long to have some intelligence and class in my streaming life.
P.P.S. Yes, that IS a LEGO Christmas train as the featured image. It’s early and I’m fucking hungry.
