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.
