Home, Sweet Home

For the umpteenth time in the last couple months, I've seen another movie that takes place in Detroit. Cory and I went to see "Narc" at the cheap-o theater tonight. Now, most of the movie was shot in Toronto, but they shot all the exteriors in the Motor City. Mostly shots on Woodward Avenue, just a few blocks north of the Fox Theatre/Comerica Park area (or as I like to call it, Illitchville). There was also one nice shot from Belle Isle, where you could see the bridge and also the Renaissance Center.

It was a much better use of the Belle Isle Bridge than in the movie "Detroit Rock City." In that movie, a group of four kids drive from Cleveland to Detroit. Oddly, they drive across the Belle Isle Bridge to get there. Last time I checked, you had to go through Detroit to get to Belle Isle. That's the funny thing about islands... They're isolated. Go Figure.
