Alpha Dog

[RoyalOrleans]

First of all, the name Justin Timberlake alone should've kept me from renting this movie. I went ahead with it because it had Harry Dean Stanton, Sharon Stone, and Bruce Willis in it. Also, Emile Hirsh played Johnny Truelove, a character based on Jesse James Hollywood. Hirsh was the main kid in The Girl Next Door, another pretty cool movie.

 

I was turned on to this movie by a friend of mine and he pointed out that Nick Cassavetes wrote and directed this movie. I've always liked Cassavetes' work, i.e. Blow. So what the hell? Give it a try?

 

So I brought it home on Friday afternoon and it sat on my coffee table for a day. This morning, 5/12, I decided to watch it with my morning coffee, bacon, biscuits, and eggs.

 

Once I got passed the boring ass previews, the message on piracy, and the FBI warning, which I skipped through (Thank God for digital technology!). I was instantly drawn into the flick because I had watched the Dateline special on the original case.

 

I thought all the acting was superb and I was very impressed by Justin Timberlake's performance as Frankie, Johnny's right hand man. The script was well written; Cassavetes kept the script real and didn't go overboard as he did in The Notebook.

 

All in all a good movie.

 

I give it 4/5.

I thought Alpha Dog looked good in the previews and reviews too, but unfortunately I hate Justin Timberfag with a nuclear capaility, so I am therefore unable to support anything he does.

 

Basically I can't look at his ratty snooty face without exploding so there's really no point in me trying to watch it.

 

As for your breakfast - what are biscuits? (Scones?) And do you eat all of those things every morning?

Not every morning. Usually a Saturday and Sunday morning ritual. Through the week, I eat a bran muffin and drink a black coffee for breakfast.

 

Biscuits is good. Bacon is good. Try them together.

Thanks for ignoring the fact that I forgot the b in capability.

 

And I believe you, but I can't handle bacon. I can only eat scones with plum jam and cream.
