And while I'm sure it's going to suck, the best moment I've seen in a Summer Movie Preview so far is Bruce Willis taking out the helicopter with his car in the trailer for "Live Free or Die Hard." His brilliant aside, "I was out of bullets" makes me yearn for the days when Bruce Willis was acting in some terrific films like say, the first two "Die Hard" films. And there was also those small releases, "The Sixth Sense" and "Pulp Fiction." I think a few people saw those as well.<BR/><BR/>It makes you wish that with Shylaman and Willis both needing hits they would go back and make a sequel a lot of us film geeks would actually like to see to "Unbreakable." But then that probably wouldn't make half the money that "Die Hard 4" will. Here's to being selfish and wanting good movies; silly me.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-89399701237079113892007-04-26T21:21:00.000-04:002007-04-26T21:21:00.000-04:00Spiderman, Simpsons and Talk To Me get my votes. ...Spiderman, Simpsons and Talk To Me get my votes.

Considering his films are so (over)styled, I took it as a huge complement. From what you've read of You Kill Me, does it have its roots in noir?
