The Big Easy

Hey guys,my fav song is Jole Blond from Buckwheat Zydeco and I found it under Jole Blone FYI if you at least want that song;-) Love this movie! So sexy,mysterious and what great music!

Aren't we past the point in history where 'Fullscreen' should be called 'Chopped Screen'? Why is any movie still sold this way?

This review is an excerpt from my book “Killer B’s: The 237 Best Movies On Video You’ve (Probably) Never Seen,” which is available as an ebook on iBooks. If you enjoy this review, there are 236 more like it in the book (plus a whole lot more). Check it out! THE BIG EASY: When a minor hood is found floating facedown in a fountain, New Orleans police Lieutenant Remy McSwain (Quaid) shrugs it off as a routine “wise guy” hit. But no-nonsense Assistant District Attorney Anne Osborne (Barkin) demands an investigation, which leads to a clash of attitudes: his, laid-back and loose; hers, repressed and rigid. Just as his smooth Southern style begins to win her over, he’s caught in a bribery sting set up to catch another cop—an event that endangers his investigation, his career and his relationship. Osborne’s reaction forces Remy to question whether he can continue to overlook police corruption and still stay one of the “good guys”—a moral dilemma that escalates when he discovers that the gang war he’s investigating might be a red herring covering up the police corruption she’s investigating. Discussion: “The Big Easy”—the local nickname for New Orleans—also nicely describes the attitude of the locals, and Quaid is the embodiment of that style. Smooth as roux, his genuinely endearing attempts to loosen Osborne up become the centerpiece of the film; the plot is merely a convenient device to push them together and pull them apart. The intriguing plot would have made an excellent movie even without this romantic capstone, but combined with a believable romance, first-rate performances, and an emotional dilemma (reminiscent of the similar work-versus-family theme of “The Godfather, Part II”), then laced with a touch of humor (like the scene divesting Goodman of his weapons), we end up with a film just as spicy and satisfying as any culinary creation from a Cajun kitchen.
