Why American Gangster failed to earn nods for best actor (Denzel Washington), best picture, and best director (Ridley Scott) I will never know. Michael Clayton was good, but not good enough to earn all those nods, in my opinion.

American gangster deserves one award. 07's most overrated movie.

Still a really good movie, but not great. Definately not as great as AMERICAN GANGSTER.

Finally! Lust, Caution on DVD!! My favorite film of '07, and the most underrated. Stupid critics ruined its chances of getting all the Oscars it deserved. NOT EVEN ONE NOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSANITY!!!!!!

I thought Russell Crowe is more deserving of a Best Actor nod for Gangster then Denzel. Crowe's performance was more deep and complex which makes Washington's seem underdeveloped in comparission. I wish the film spent more time on Frank's dealing with his family and cops instead of focusing on how he shipped the drugs from Asia.

The Black Dahlia wasn't crap, it was alright. But not crap. I am however looking forward to at least renting to watch Redaction again.

NOOOO, THE BLACK DHALIA was definately crap. It was a crappy cheap knock off of THE UNTOUCABLES.

I'm here to settle this:

1) The direction was not bland in American Gangster.
2) American Gangster was not at all overrated. It was great, maybe not the year's best, but maybe top 10.
3) Black Dahlia is one of the biggest cinematic travesties my eyes and ears have been subjected to. It was like the scene in A Clockwork Orange where they strap him down and clamp his eyelids open. I would have walked out if I'd known my friends hated it as much as I did, but we didn't find that out until we left the theater.
