American Gangster, Control, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead...

American Gangster was good. It is a classic movie - it was 3 hours long, but it really never ever felt like it. Stylistically it is amazing. It is an amazing executed film. Both Denzel and Russell do an amazing job...and it will most likely get nominated for a bunch of Oscars. But I was sitting there thinking - is this film too mass for me? I think it is.

Control. I was into this film the entire time. The first hour was slow...but I could have been me and my impatience. But I loved it. Everything about it was beautiful.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. BRILLIANT. There is nothing wrong with this film - and if there was you really didn't care because the storytelling is so amazing. This will be nominated a ton - at least it better. And it should win best supporting actor and best director. Wow, this film was powerful.
