This week on The Collision, we’ll be talking about franchise legacies: which directors have left their stamp on a franchise, what happens when a new director takes over, if a franchise’s success is linked with the director, and more.  This discussion ties in with our review of The Bourne Legacy, which handed off the director reigns from Paul Greengrass to Tony Gilroy.  As always, we’ll finish up the show with our recommendations.

The joy at seeing two of Humphrey Bogart’s greatest films arrive on Blu-ray for the first time is tempered by some of Hollywood’s age-old tricks. Studios love selling us as many different versions of the same movie as they can, and the newly minted Blu-rays of  The Maltese Falcon and Treasure of the Sierra Madre are no exception. Both films stand as indisputable classics, but the discs themselves smack of quick-fix delivery: serving as placeholders for better things to come. Hit the jump for my full review.
