See A Movie Tonight

It seems like sacrilege, but apparently Neil Jordan's remake of Bob Le Flambeur, The Good Thief is actually good. Elvis Mitchell says, "The movie feels more like a breezy, jazz-inflected version of the original: it's a triumph of flourish, all weathered, movie-star-size gestures." Nick Nolte stars, as well as Ralph Fiennes, but I'm actually interested in director Emir Kusturica's performance.

Read the rest of Mitchell's review in the Times.

Buy Bob le Flambeur on DVD.

aaach i wanna see that movie so badly. i saw some previews a couple of months ago and it looked so...european and heist-y that i nearly had an orgasm. i figured it HAD to be a remake of something, but at least it's a good remake. i trust elvis mitchell.
