(So this was written last week but I didn't realize until I saw "One saved draft" that I realized I had clicked 'save now' instead of publish. Whoops!)

So I watched Goodfellas for the first time the other day. Yes, ever. My significant other told me he couldn't bare date someone who had never seen it, thus the movie watching activities convene. I have learned that gangster movies are not for me. My nerves are consistently on edge waiting for the main character or one of his best friends to be shot. And guess what? It happens. Throughout the whole film. I got the same thing watching "Notorious," the movie about Biggie Smalls. One bad word and the other could bust a cap. But, the glamour of being in power and having people to your disposal would be very attractive to most. I also find mutinous amounts of cocaine use in movies to be disturbing- and this movie had a lot of that as well. You saw the deterioration of the main character and his wife due to a dangerous life and cocaine use. This is said to be one of the best movies made (most men will attribute to this) and I can mostly see why. There are a lot of different shots used, but it is done mostly with a medium long shot. Overall, I liked it but the nerve-wrecking nature of it made it not as appealing to me.
