Green tea and Golden guys

American Gangster and Transformers...If these films were not in Oscar contention (visual effects, supporting actors), I would not have granted them five minutes of my time. But they were/are, and so I did/am.

Here is the the low down:

They are both lengthy (2hr 40min+), hyper masculine (monster truck robots, drug kingpins) depictions of destructive underworlds ruled by a cube or packets of blue magic.

I am not the ideal audience demographic for either of these films. That being said, they are both engaging...car chases, good vs. evil, rapid dialogue, explosions.

I think Shia LeBouf might be the next Russell Crowe.
