American Gangster (2007) is a meticulous,multi layered alternative American dream story of drug baron Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) and his Javert- esque Nemesis, cop Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe). It covers a lifetime of crime and punishment and sadly is dull,dull dull. Washington is pretty bland, as is a rather fat Russell Crowe ( Looking remarkably like me a year or so ago!!!) which is a bit of a disappointment.It is left to Veteran African American actress Ruby Dee, to steal the film with one pivotal scene as Lucas' not-so-stupid mother. All in all the whole thing was rather boring.
Finished most of the Christmas shopping today and wrapped the gifts after taking Janet and Ruby to the beach with our pack! Ruby was gentle and friendly enough but showed her power by constantly charging at William, Meg and George and flipping them over as she would have done to a rabbit! She was so quick and strong , that the terriers were rather frightened and galloped behind me to hide. Only Maddie managed to fend Ruby off with the sternest of gazes!Heard that my Friend John has won a National Newspapers "Business editor of the year" this evening which is a great achievement! I hope to meet him for a drink on Tuesday before catching up with Mike and Jane! Congrats John Well done!.....wonder if he made a speech!?
