Do The Hustle

Super Bowl Sunday = Sherry goes to see a film nominated for Best Picture by the Academy.  Today, I decided to see "American Hustle".


  • Is it a rule that Bradley Cooper must dance in David O. Russell's films? Mandy Jo Moore also choreographed the dance in "Silver Linings Playbook".
  • I also think that they used that same set from the SLP dance for the scene in which the mayor tells his constituents that he's bringing casinos to Atlantic City.
  • APPARENTLY, Amy Adams' character does not own a bra.
  • Great performances by all of the actors.  All four of them are well-deserving of their individual nominations.
  • Robert DeNiro!  I didn't know that he was in this movie, too.  
  • I also enjoyed seeing Louis C.K. in his role.  I've just recently discovered his comedy, and he cracks me up.
  • "Some of this actually happened."  Oh, is THAT what Abscam was?  I didn't understand it at the time.
  • Great soundtrack!  Tom Jones, Duke Ellington, Wings, and more.  Thanks, Danny Elfman!
  • OMG, the hair!
  • Science Oven + Metal = Another Fire
  • Can we get Christian Bale to play someone with six-pack abs again?  Because I miss those.  
  • The ice fishing story.  What happened?!?
Great movie.  David O. Russell and his actors have done it again.
