American Gangster definitely. Denzel and Russell Crowe are phenomenal. If Michael Clayton, with Geoge Clooney is still around, that was my pick so far as best picture of the year. Into the Wild bothered me because the main character was so screwed up.

So, what'd you end up seeing? Sheesh, leave us hanging.
I thought "rental" about DIRL, too, until I started reading reviews and found out that it was supposed to be really good. So, we went last weekend, and I liked it way more than I anticipated. Plus, then Mr. Pod got to see Juliette Binoche up close and personal. :roll:

As predicted, my date picked American gangster. I knew we would both enjoy it. Washington and Crowe were good as expected. As an epic crime drama it lacked a bit of depth. It feels like a good movie that wants to be great. It probably needed an extra hour or two. The period feel and detail gets a thumbs up.

Totally agree Kurt, lacked depth. It was a good movie but I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if it was not based on a true story. Crowe and Washington were exceptional.

The other one who was excellent in this movie was Josh Brolin (at least I thought so!!) He
