🎬MOVIE HISTORY: 22 years ago today, March 19, 2004, the movie ‘Taking Lives’ opened in theaters! #AngelinaJolie #EthanHawke @RealKiefer #GenaRowlands #OlivierMartinez #TchekyKaryo #JeanHugues #JustinChatwin #AndreLacoste #BillyTwoRivers #RichardLemire #JulienPoulin #DJCaruso

Go to Hulu and watch the show that literally changed television viewing and set the table for Breaking Bad and more...

Honored to have contributed to this amazing show. Great writers, actors and crew!. What a ride!

@RichardERoeper @donwinslow Conrad Hall's magic made it stunningly beautiful.

Now watching: “Tequila Sunrise.” My God, what a beautiful film. Robert Towne improved “Bonnie and Clyde” and “The Godfather” and “Mission: Impossible,” wrote the perfect screenplay in “Chinatown” — and gave us this gift.

@colincowherd He says I'm PTA and I have Leo. We start in 8 weeks.

When I watch movies like “One battle after another” which I liked, I’m always wondering…how did that pitch go? Everyone in the room understood it? How high do you have to be to come up with that story?

@donwinslow Serenity. I'm in

@JosephKahn Spot on

I feel like I'm on a cruise ship. #BadBunny

Happy National Catchers Day. ⁦@caruso_caruso10⁩ about 130 pounds ago! Love ya.

@CinemaTweets1 truth!

Paul Newman’s birthday is today. I don’t even try to put into words what this man means to me anymore- why bother? It’s not possible. Newman is one of those figures in life- not just cinema- that inspires a person to action. What a human being. Guys like this don’t exist anymore.

@RichardERoeper A rock & roll fable that I love! The editing and sound mix in the finale (Tonight is what it means to be young) is off the charts. One last glance and Pare walks away. Love doesn't mean staying.

Now watching: Walter Hill’s batshit crazy rock and roll action crime thriller neo-noir musical “Streets of Fire.”

@ChineWeezy @Dreamworks Love it! The film was a warning that an AI flood was coming. The tools we use would soon think faster than their owners. That day has arrived.

@Deejaycar @Dreamworks #StevenSpielberg With the advent of AI it'll be great to get a part 2 on #EagleEye after all Arhia uploaded 27% of itself unto the cloud. Make it happen please🙏🏿🙏🏿

@TheCinesthetic I was shooting a second unit on a Saturday in downtown LA and we had dialogue, so we had to wait for the Heat set below us to cut before we could roll. 9 minutes takes because the actors we so proficient they could reload!

Michael Mann refused to use stock sound effects for Heat's shootout. He used the raw audio recorded live on set. He insisted that the terrifying echo of machine gun fire bouncing off downtown L.A. skyscrapers was impossible to recreate in a studio.

@AVARY @hazelflag Yes it is. Scorsese pics lost twice to movie star directors, when he made two masterpieces. Goodfellas lost to Dances With Wolves in 91.

@hazelflag It’s crazy that Ordinary People beat Raging Bull at the Oscars.

Rewatching Ordinary People after a long time. I mostly like it, and the thing I like best is Mary Tyler Moore's inability to show any sign of affection or simple kindness. I mean her character. 😉

@ActwithAlison Amen 🙏

@kaguado Thank you my friend!

Happy Birthday to writer/director DJ Caruso, my dear friend and collaborator 🎂🎁@Deejaycar #TheSaltonSea #Disturbia #EagleEye #IamNumberFour #StandingUp #Mary #HappyBirthday #filmmaker #director #writer

@JosephKahn Thanks brother! Love your style and Music Videos which fed my creative soul. You crushed so many. Bodied was brilliant and off the charts original.

@Deejaycar Hey DJ! Love Disturbia!

One of the things I miss most about LA of the 90s is Jerry's Deli and their matzo ball soup. Many colds have been cured with that magic.

@CinemaTweets1 Yes it is. I also felt that way about his Verdict snub!

Paul Newman deserved to win the Oscar for Best Actor for The Hustler. His snub remains one of the worst snubs ever committed by the Academy. I know Newman eventually won for The Color of Money, but it doesn’t make up for failing to give Newman the award here. This is Paul’s best

@JosephKahn I prayed for cable to arrive so that I could "never look at music the same way again." For me it was an addiction.

MTV was a huge part of my childhood. When I remember the 80s, music videos are the scaffolding that held it all together.
