Very, very good movie. Damn near great.

I have to see it again...I HATE small fuckin' screens...that one at the Laemmle Fairfax SUCKED.

Li'l Ze was GANGSTA.

The storytelling was fantastic. Never got lost or confused as to what was happening...except when I had to run to the potty. I apparently missed the transition from the 70's to the 80's.

Only problem? A little TOO violent. I'm starting to show my age. Had this been a few years back, I would have been like "Hell Yeah!" to all the shooting and killing and such...

Very stylish yet solid piece of filmmaking. Very snazzy, very Scorcese-esque, technically solid.

Definitely a DVD purchase. I refuse to return to that theatre.

Good lookin' out, Myno and buildingblock.
