Billy the Martian

So, tonight’s movie is Thief, with James Caan. I’ve seen it before, and I know I liked it. But it was long enough ago that I don’t remember why.

I’m really surprised while watching the initial credits. First off, it’s a Jerry Bruckenheimer movie. I didn’t know who he was when I saw it initially. Then I see that it’s produced and written by Michael Mann. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream — I saw them live once almost 20 years ago. I love a lot of movies with soundtracks by them.

And I’m surprised to see Jim Belushi in a movie back then. I don’t remember him in anything serious that long ago. And I just spotted William Peterson in a bit role — on screen for maybe 2 seconds. No grey hair.

And Belushi — that reminds me — I’ve got to pick up Wild Palms, which starred Belushi. I remember liking at least the first half of that miniseries.

Anyway, no wonder I liked it.
