American Gangster

what an awesome looking movie. I love movies where the underdog rises up to be the big man. (true story: Denzel Washington plays Frank Lucas, a black man who comes to nyc at the age of 16 and rises through the mafia ultimately becoming one of the most prolific heroin dealers in history.)

In an article interview with the NYT, Mr Lucas talks about his exploits: how he chose his path as a substitute for the wall street job he couldnt have, his splitting operations involving nude women, the million dollar daily heroin distributions, etc

Yeah that does look good. Denzel Washington is a talented actor for sure, even though he's made some questionable movie choices in the past (Deja Vu anyone?)

Jay Z is in the studio recording a concept album, based on the movie to be released around the same time.

The only "good" concept album I ever heard was paul oakenfold's for Requiem for a Dream
