I am a huge fan of mob movies, I love them. Gangs of New York, Goodfellas, all of the Godfathers, Casino, and oh yeah, I have seen every episode of the Sopranos. Last Night while walking through Best Buy, I discovered one that I have never heard of. Once Upon a Time in America, it's a movie directed by Sergio Leone, and has a great cast. Robert DeNiro is the main character, in the movie are James Woods, Joe Pesci, and a very young Jennifer Connely. It's a four hour long movie with an amazing ending. I bought it and came home to watch that instead of the Celtics, Lakers game. And while it's a long movie, if your a fan of the genre, I highly recommend the movie.
Something else that I discovered last night, the Portland Trailblazers are actually a good team. They are completely flying under the radar. The Blazers right now are sporting a 30-18 record, and until Wednesday nights loss to Dallas, they were on a 5 game winning streak. Their next five games are against sub-par teams, and they are currently the fourth seed in the West. They are ahead of some teams that were great teams when the season started. They have better records than New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Utah, and Phoenix. They have a talented starting five anchored by Brandon Roy, and also have a lot of depth on their team. If Portland doesn't fall for any trades, this team could be here to stay in the years to come.
To sum up, watch Once Upon a Time in America, and watch out for the Portland Trailblazers.
