Collateral (like many Michael Mann films) is pretty damn serious about its guns, much like its cold and calculating antagonist, Vincent, played surprisingly-well by Tom Cruise. In the following clip we get a taste of why Vincent is a scary, scary man… and cudos to Mr. Cruise for putting in the practice to make that fast-draw look good without the benefit of film editing. I still think the film missed a couple opportunities to make Cruise even scarier. For one thing, they could have filmed Cruise at his actual height. There is nothing more frightening to me than a short guy with a gun. Like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, you don’t antagonize a short, armed sociopath with an inferiority complex. The film also gets a bit overblown with Cruise sitting in the back of Jamie Fox’s cab spouting nihilistic philosophy… how much more terrifying would it have been if he’d started pitching Foxx on Scientology? The last thing you want is a bi-polar closeted gay midget with an HK USP pressed to the back of your head asking when was the last time you were “clear!” ~Scott

Thursday Three-Way Says Hello to Our Little Friend

Every Thursday is Three-Way Day at My Left Footloose! Enjoy three (or more) related My Left Footloose movies for the price of one. Tell your friends you're having a three-way and let 'em wonder who with.

This week we welcome our first ever guest blogger, the supremely dangerous but pathologically loyal Jim from Mobflix.com. All the mash-ups and finely-crafted movie descriptions you'll see today were written by Jim in his underground crime lair (complete with pasta kitchen). 

Based out of historically mobbed-up Chicagoland, Mobflix.com is a site dedicated to the organized crime film genre. From silent films to present day, from Yakuza to the Russians, Mobflix has compiled a list of nearly 200 movies. In addition to movie and book reviews, Mobflix also has qoutes from your favorite movies. Hilariously, Mobflix also features haikus celebrating the greatest of these films. The ultimate goal of Mobflix.com is to host an Organized Crime film festival. After all, WWVD*?

Follow us on Twitter and you'll get an alert each weekend about the next Thursday Three-Way and the chance to play along.

Say hello to my little friend.
