Must-see this weekend: ‘American Gangster’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s my indubitable list of what matters most this weekend among new movies:
1. “American Gangster” - Denzel Washington (in photo above) is good; Russell Crowe is good. The movie’s good, but I still wish it was better. And T.I.’s really not in the film that much.
2. “The 400 Blows” - OK, it isn’t new. But it’s a fresh print of Francois Truffaut’s 1959 French New Wave classic and it’s a must-see on the big screen at the Plaza.
3. “My Kid Could Paint That” - One of the best documentaries of the year, it’s an eye-opening look at the machinations behind a so-called pre-elementary school master painter.
4. “Blade Runner: The Final Cut” - Harrison Ford’s still shooting those replicants. And if you loved this film 25 years ago, you’ll love it just as much now.
5. “Jimmy Carter Man From Plains” - Georgia’s tough-minded ex-president faces down critics of his controversial book “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.”
6. “Bee Movie” - It’s a C movie at best.

Saw American Gangster monday. School had free screening tickets. Really enjoyed it. I understand what the critic was saying. I wanted more. Waiting for the reviews on Bee Movie

I totaly agree with Alan on American Ganster. It was just ok to good. Not great at all. I was somewhat disappointed in it. It was more of a documentary to me than a movie to entertain.

If only our city were lucky enough to get a print of “Blade Runner Ultimate Cut” to show in one of our theaters with a digital projector. In typical elitist fashion, it’s only in New York and Los Angeles.

My good friend, Tony:
It’s called “Blade Runner: The Final Cut” and it is now playing at the AMC Barrett Commons 24 in Kennesaw because that theater has the capability of digital projection.
So we are lucky enough in little ole Georgia to get a print.
