Oscar Movies Map: "That's How You Know" He's A Killer

February 20, 2008 at 3:30 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

The Oscars are back on, and we're celebrating with a series on the New York City locations you might've seen in this year's nominated films. Our Oscar Movies Map will be your golden statuette.

As betrayed by the "Bourne Comes Home" marketing campaign, the hero of "The Bourne Ultimatum" (Matt Damon) made New York City the final stop on his journey to self-discovery. We don't want to spoil the ending, other than to point out the kick-ass chase down Seventh Avenue.

But! Should one visit the Oscar Movies Map, one might see where Jason Bourne was last spotted in the film. In the summer, it's a great place to see Fourth of July fireworks. This is the first Bourne movie to garner Academy Award nominations.

While Jason Bourne only sees death threats in the shadows, the heroine of "Enchanted," Princess Giselle (Amy Adams), only sees sweetness and light. After she enters the city through a Times Square manhole, Gisele is discovered lost and alone on the Bowery by a handsome divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) and his fairy tale-believing daughter.

For our money, the best New York City moment is during the Oscar-nominated song "That's How You Know," where Adams leads a calypso singer and some 300 extras singing and dancing through Central Park. Of course, if you're too cool for that, you could always act like a Gossip Girl and lurk on the fringes. A real princess would climb up to Belvedere Castle and plant her flag there, whether the weather was cooperative or not.
