Movie Morsel (PICs)

So let us resume our media morsels with a look at PIC (Partners in Crime). Let me explain the concept to those of you who don’t see where I’m going. Often times there are actors who become friends and team up with someone behind the camera (usually directors or producers) and they make several movies together. Today, I’m going to outline some of the ones that come to mind and share my perspective of their collaboration.

Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott- it’s hard to complain about this pairing. I, admittedly, had some doubt about the Robin Hood movie, but it was misplaced. This is just a recent combination boasting just two movies (Gladiator and Robin Hood), but both are spectacular. I hardly imagine that there is not more to come (Robin Hood sequel?).

Nicolas Cage and Jerry Bruckheimer- I’m trying to be unbiased here. They have made several very financially successful movies. I am just not a big fan of Nicolas Cage; he just rubs me the wrong way. So yeah, that’s a partnership that has existed successfully and continues to thrive.

Harrison Ford and George Lucas- I’m trying to be unbiased here as well, only for the opposite reason. For the record, I love both of these people and all elements of their collaboration. They have been very successful both critically and at the box office, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they crank one more out before it’s all said and done.

I’ll probably do a similar post with other collaborations in the future, but I’ll just leave you these three to mill over during this weekend and maybe you can enjoy one of their popular movies this weekend.

See you on Monday
