Bulletface (2010)
What a load of garbage
Sure as hell glad I didn't PAY to watch this awful movie. Waste of bandwidth downloading it !! Take my advice ......... avoid this like the plague. I watch movies to be entertained and this one certainly didn't do that. The acting was dreadful, the soundtrack obtrusive, the plot - non-existent and it used up two hours of my life I'll never get back ! Gratuitous porn and violence do not a movie make. It doesn't inspire anyone to take a (touristy) trip to Mexico/California or to trust anyone with a badge, from whatever agency they're members of. Once in a while an excellent movie comes along but this ain't it ! This must be an actor's/director's/script writer's/"what not to do in a movie" guide. I can't say I've ever watched such a bad movie, how the heck it ever got released is beyond me. Whoever put up the money for the movie, the executive producer/s, sure got ripped off, I'll wager they got nil return on their investments.
American Gangster (2007)
Gripping Drama
A totally engrossing movie from beginning to end. Great performances from Washington and Crowe. I'm guessing it will get Best Picture and at least one, possibly two Oscars for the leading actors. I've never seen Washington in a dud movie. Crowe, however, is a different story. In both this movie and 3-10 to Yuma his American accent just doesn't cut it. He first came to light (to me) in Romper Stomper, which no doubt brings him to the attention of the likes of Ridley Scott when casting for similar movies. I'd have no hesitation recommending this movie to anyone. Even with a length of 2.5 hours the time seemed to whiz by. The accuracy with which the director created the late 60's can't pass without comment. Fantastic !!
