While I'm busy doing a truckload of things this week, I managed to get some free time to keep myself entertained with the following:
DVD: "American Gangster": Loved this flick in theaters and passes as a decent timekiller. As good the leads are, I really dig the supporting cast (including the man who appeared THREE effin' times on my best movies of last year list, Josh Brolin!). While not as flashy as some of his earlier work, director Ridley Scott definitely "keeps it real".
"Michael Clayton": A prestige award nominee film that doesn't make me grate my teeth in irritation? It happens rarely, like in this case. Some truly good performances (woe Tom Wilkinson for losing an Oscar for Javier Bardem, but I'm not going to be too sore about that BTW), and some nice twists and turns. Definitely earns a early spot in my best movies I've seen (being the operative word) this year.
I had a slight quip on the Rolling Stones song Wild Horses for this screen grab, but I came to my senses in time.
