Gangstas

So tonight I saw the movie American Gangster. I know it's been out a while, but it took awhile to cycle to the front of my Netflix Queue. I thought the movie was really well made and a lot of fun. It's a shame it was as long as it was. It clocked in at about 3 hours on the Blu-ray release. The ending was a satisfying ending, even with the long set-up. The characters felt real (maybe since they were). I remember seeing trailers and thinking that Denzel Washington couldn't play a badass drug dealer and russel crow's part seemed off. Not so after seeing it. I thought they both did wonderfully. I don't remember if they won anything last year or not at the Oscars. With all of the good TV on nowadays and the incosistant postal service of Poughkeepsie and White Plains, it is taking me forever to get through my queue. I hope I can continue moving through it pretty rapidly since it has soo many movies on it.
