melancholy story depicting the rise and fall and possible sequel rise of a great entrepreneur, so-so imo

I finished watching American Gangster last night and thought it was pretty impressive. Once again Denzel Washington is outstanding and the storyline is great!

It seems like denzel has become the nigger by default being chosen for almost every black role in movies with the exception of the ones they use samuel l jackson for. It really sucks when he used to make quality movies and you could rely on them to now where he just craps out a movie quarterly.

Can't wait to see it. Denzel Washington is one of the best actors of his generation, turning in consistantly great performances, and Russell Crowe ain't too shabby either.

I just got done watchin it I thought it was rather good.
-------------------- "How do we know whether the life of any creature has fulfilled its destiny? I have known the very old to die in bitterness and despair. I have seen young children die before their time but leave behind such a legacy of love and joy that grief for their passing was tempered by the knowledge that their brief lives had given much to others." "You have answered your own question,Tanis Half-Elven, far better than I could," the Forestmaster said gravely. "Say that that our lives are measured not by gain but by giving." -Dragonlance "Dragons of Autumn Twilight" If we lived in luxury we would grow soft. No human being truely knows their full capacity to love until they become a parent.
