Michael Clayton and Redbox and American Gangster

Redbox, I was beginning to despair but I think I love you. Because yesterday was President’s Day – a holiday, I had the feeling today was Monday. But it is TUESDAY! Tuesday is new movies at the $1 Redbox and I looked in and, even though it is almost noon, managed to get Michael Clayton and American Gangster.

Michael Clayton bombed, according to reports, at the Box Office, perhaps because it is about the big corporate law firms that consume lawyers. The “consume” word I grabbed from Slate Magazine’s piece on the movie.

Okay, I am going to go look up American Gangster and see if I’m going to get my dollar’s worth. Uh, four stars from Roger Ebert. Well, that’s good. Here’s his review. I may have to buy these when they go on sale at the video store.

Yes, Redbox, these past few weeks of nothing too good coming out of your little disc ejector . . . and now this. So, it’s okay.
