Blow Out

Blow Out
Brian De Palma freaking rules with his earlier films.  I been wanting to see this one for a while. This one and Dressed To Kill has to be my favorite De Palma films besides the obvious Scarface, The Untouchables, and Carlito's Way.  This has a split screen, great 80's music including a track that also comes out in Tarantino's Death Proof. It has a suspenseful subway scene.  Hell, the whole climax was nothing but suspense.  There was some nice T & A in the beginning.  There was even a slasher sub story in this.  I loved it.  I love conspiracy movies.  This one is worth buying. Right now, I'm debating if I should start a Brian De Palma section for my collection.  I need to revisit the original Carrie and a few others.
