Review: American Gangster

I'm constantly amazed at how many people are at the movies at 11 a.m. on a Friday. I mean, I work Sunday-Thursday, so this is my legitimate day off. But, senior citizens aside, what the hell is everyone else doing at the theater? Does no one work? Can there really be this many unemployed actors in L.A.?

Anyway.

Nice review albeit sardonic.

You forgot to include that Crowe's wife is played by Carla Gugino, who is ridiculously, ridiculously hot. Like...really hot.

Don't worry, I will stop there.

Yeah, I omitted Gugino mainly because to have included her would have meant adding a couple hundred words (easy) about how the film misused her and her character. And I figured I'd already hit the nail hard enough when it came to the film's meandering ways and its inability to hold onto its subplots.

But she is hot, though.

If I'm bored in class I will just leave school and go to movies. I did this three days last week:
