"Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe team with director Ridley Scott ('Gladiator') for an epic story as powerful as it is true.

When outcast cop Richie Roberts (Crowe) sets out to bring down Lucas's multi-million dollar empire, it plunges both men into a legendary confrontation." "American Gangster" is rated R for violence, pervasive drug content and language, nudity and sexuality. Mini-Review: I'm a fan of Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe, and Denzel Washington, so I was interested in seeing "American Gangster." After watching it, I found the film to be entertaining, but it was like a marathon watching it. I viewed the Unrated Extended Version which was about 3 hours long.
Wall Street Noticing That The Math On iPhones Doesn't Add Up

Cats gain confidence, even in defeat
Ramon Harris added a career-high 12 points. Each was "the best he's ever been," Gillispie said. Stevenson acknowledged that Tennessee's lack of a dominating presence around the basket helped. "But they're all pretty much bigger than I am," Stevenson said. "I'll have that problem every evening." Tennessee forward Wayne Chism credited Stevenson's effort. "He's long," the UT player said. "You can get anything if you're that long. He worked hard for those rebounds. And I worked hard to keep him off." Derrick Jasper equaled a career high with two three-pointers. Noting his 3-for-14 three-point shooting last season, Jasper said, "I'm not scared shooting the ball." Harris equaled a career-high with three made free throws and three steals.
