American Hustle is one of those films you can enjoy in the moment and the second you leave the theater and think about it, the flaws start to become really apparent. This is not to say that American Hustle is a bad movie, it’s pretty good actually, just that it doesn’t live up to the many parts that make up the whole.
Did you all happen to be on the interwebs today and see the news about Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver and John Turturro are joining the cast of Ridley Scott’s Moses? If you are unfamiliar with this film Christian Bale is going to be playing the titular Moses and Joel Edgerton will be playing Ramses. Weaver and Turturro will be playing the parents of the pharaoh Ramses (Edgerton) and Paul is in negotiations to play Joshua, who leads the people onto the promised land. Now when you see the actors selected, you totally envision ancient Egypt right?
