American Gangster Review
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 27, 2008
Wow. What a great movie. Ridley Scott did this american story justice. Cinematography was very well done. Denzel was at his best, he is such a better bad guy than good. I am not a huge Russell Crowe fan, but great performance here. Loved the movie. Normally for a 3 hour movie you think, “no way I can handle it.” Well this was perfect, didn’t slow down one bit. 3 hours went by so fast. Couldn’t believe it. There are some movies that need to be shorter and they would be A LOT better. Like Transformers, if that didnt have all that garbage int the middle, would have been a much better movie.
However, this movie was terrific. Can’t wait to watch it again. Now that’s how you know it was a great movie.
IMHO, should have won multiple oscars. but the oscars are politically driven like everything else in the world. so it didn’t.

Friday Night Lights
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 18, 2008
Couldn’t get into this show last year. However, this year I am in love with it. The personal experiences and acting are great. You would never know these actors are basically teenagers. Some of them are not, but the ones that are, it’s hard to tell, they play their characters so well. It looks so natural. So real. Incredible. Why they would cancel a show like this is obvious. The president of NBC or VP or whoever he is, obviously has no idea what good tv is. Just b/c it doesn’t go as high on the ratings as other shows, pathetic. It is middle america to a T. People can relate to this show more than many. It is, or was a great show. And it’s sad to see it go. Maybe it enough people send peanuts to NBC they will bring it back like they did for Jericho this year.

The Brave One
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 18, 2008
One of those movies that you had average expectations for and after you saw it or during watching it, you really started to like it. I liked it a lot. The pace picked up exponentially. And it was not as predictable as one might have thought. Awesome performance from Jodie Foster (not one of my fav actors). She turned it up a notch. And I can’t remember the name of the lead detective, but he was very, very good. His partner is from Boston Public and a good actor as well. I loved the pace of this movie, liked the personality to it and was impressed with the personal conflicts and one on one scenes. It’s right on the border of an A- and a B+.

We Own The Night
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 18, 2008
Overall a decent movie. But it was 2 hours and it felt like 2 hours. So def not one of my faves. It was slow at times. Somewhat predictable. Felt like it was missing something. Maybe another character. I am not sure. Phoenix was good. Mark Wahlberg has been exceptionally good in his acting the past few years. Surprisingly good, like in Shooter, liked that movie quite a bit. Eva Mendes did a good job acting as well, but like I said, something was missing in this movie. I give it a B-.

Major Flooding
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 13, 2008
The NAM is verifying! Oh My God! Wow! This is incredible. All of the 5 boroughs of NYC are under a Flash Flood Warning. Incredible amounts of water are surging up from the gulf of mexico. The WV looks like a christmas tree. Worst part is, when that heavy rain makes it’s way NE it’s going to hit a deep snowpack. I am predicting significant flooding for parts of New England tonight as the second low moves NE. 3-5 inches of rain. Not to mention the ice storm that is still occuring for the lakes region and north. This is more significant than last year’s V-Day Nor’easter b/c that was almost all snow. This is a much bigger impact storm. Power outages likely. and Flooding imminent.

Significant New England Weather Event 2/12-2/13/08
Posted by Jason Nappi on February 12, 2008
3 areas of low pressure are set to hit New England this afternoon through tomorrow. The first system will bring plenty of snow and it will hit hard but does not have as much moisture as the second system.
The second system arrives tomorrow morning and will really be the redevelopment of the first low at the coast and move northeast. This storm will have a lot of moisture and plenty of warm air overrunning the cold air that is already in place. Look for plenty of sleet, especially northern and easter new england. It will also produce quite a bit of rainfall 1-2 inches likely along the coast. Flooding may be an issue with all this snow already in place. And possible power outages as well with any ice accumulation. Watch out for ice jams in the rivers too. It’s going to be a messy evening and morning commute.
The third system will have minimal impact to inland locations as an area of low pressure develops off the coast of NJ and tracks south of cape cod. Coastal areas could see a mix of sleet/rain or snow depending on the track.

As of this morning the strike is officially over. A letter was sent to WGA members through e-mail this morning. It’s over ladies and gents. Time to get back on with our lives! And more importantly, people can get back to work after losing a billion dollars from the ripple down effect of tv shows, movies and much more that have stopped.
