I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

The Big Easy

YEAR 1986

DIRECTOR Jim Mc Bride

STARRING Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin and Ned Beatty

WRITER Daniel Petrie Jr

OVERVIEW Set in New Orleans. Remy McSwain, Homicide has to solve a series of gang killings and Ann Osborne, a beautiful attorney from the D.A.'s task force is a thorn in his side. He begins a relationship with her only to have charges filed against him for accepting bribes as he stumbles on  police corruption.

OPINION One of the most realistic sex scenes in a movie . Ellen Barkin made her name in this movie and even today she is cast, because of it.

RATING YYYY1/2
