Michael Mann refused to use stock sound effects for Heat's shootout. He used the raw audio recorded live on set. He insisted that the terrifying echo of machine gun fire bouncing off downtown L.A. skyscrapers was impossible to recreate in a studio.
Sharon Stone called Robert De Niro “the best kisser in the business” recently & is quoted as saying De Niro “kissed me right out of my shoes.” Not bad, Bobby D! I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: the older I get, the more I think Casino is Martin Scorsese’s best film.
Denzel Washington has never worked with Paul Thomas Anderson or Martin Scorsese. Am I asking for too much? I am but a meager fan of Cinema. I just want to see one of the best actors alive work with two of the best directors alive. I pray to the Cinema Gods this still happens.

Ethan Hawke is rapidly becoming a major contender for the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon. I haven’t had a chance to see the film yet but I have seen nearly all of Hawke’s career unfold. I want him to win an Oscar - he’s generational.
