I’m sure a decent number of film sites out there are going to be looking at the Best Gangster films of all time. Since we already know that Analyze This tops the list every year, we decided to do something a little different – looking at the gorgeous women that stand beside their connected men.

This is kind of an obscure little tid-bit about a potential Hollywood big-budget, straight-to-DVD sequel (it’s most likely just the latter though).

Even though HD-DVD is dead, it appears that one title is still fighting the good fight…

To me, American Gangster seemed like it could be this year’s Departed, but without the swagger and panache.

Every year when you look at the Oscar slate, there’s bound to be a few things that jump out at you and cause you to ask, “What the f&^k?”

The award formally known as Interior Decorations is now Art Direction. Either way, its all about an eye for style.

My first year as an online film critic has been a very, very memorable one. Most professional critics have said that this was a great year and I agree with them.

Last year, it was Martin Scorcese that rocked the gangster-movie lover’s hearts with a duel between a mobster-cop and a cop-mobster. This year, another brilliant director, takes his turn to honor the genre.

Well, we had a really big weekend at the box office, even bigger than what we saw for Saw IV. And we have a big upset.

Would I be overdoing it by calling American Gangster an American masterpiece? I don’t think I’ve enjoyed any other movie this year more than this one.

At first glance, it would be easy to confuse Ridley Scott’s American Gangster for your run-of-the-mill shoot ‘em up actioner, complete with big stars, big guns and big drama. But upon closer inspection, American Gangster reveals itself to be something completely different.

While we can’t suggest that you buy a dime bag of Denzel’s Blue Magic heroin, we can suggest that you knock back a few bottles of good ol’ brew with this film.

Welcome to another stinging edition of The Reject Report, and my week’s resolution is to not get stung with my predictions this week. FOR A CHANGE.

Universal Pictures has dropped some great new pictures on us from the upcoming film American Gangster. The set includes some pretty badass shots of bad guy Denzel Washington and top cop Russell Crowe.

The folks over at Empire Online sent us a link for a new extended trailer of American Gangster. I don’t know if any of you have seen the original trailer for the film, but it looks like it will be another gem from the Crowe/Scott tandem. The film features Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington and the direction of Ridley Scott.
