Someone said there 2 favorite movies are Casino and Paid in Full.  That is just an abomination to think they are even close.  I rarely recognize when people are excellent actors, as I do notice in Casino.  On the flip side I rarely notice bad acting.  But when I watch Paid in Full I grimace in complete embarrassment about the HORRIFIC acting.  What a complete insult to Scorsese to compare one of his movies to Paid in Full.  Some where along the lines of, "My favorite players are Jordan and Shawn Bradley". 

Paid in full ain't that type of movie though.  So it's more like saying "My favoritee players are Jordan and that one dude I went to highschool with that's from the same place as m that be BURNING boys up at that one Ju-Co." -- which is understandable. 

We LOVE paid in full for several reasons. Here's 15. Got a hunnid 50... 

1. Cam'ron as a rapper
2. It's a relatively true story that some of us relate to
3. Cam'ron as an actor
4. Cam'ron as a one-lie dropping hilarity bomb
5. It's hood.
6. Cam'ron, in general
7. Everybody eats B. 
8. @+@%** get shot everyday. Rest up, get you some soup..
9. Whatsup Kermy?
10. That's how you %+%! right there!
11. It's 14 bricks right there? 
12. etc 
13. etc
14. Cam'ron. 
15. $%*!% you heard me..

Paid in Full is a complete joke. The lines are so horrifically acted and I blush in embarrasment, especially at Ace's acting. There are good parts but just so poorly done. Like a $50 dollar budget. The only part I liked was seeing the 1980's style KITs and BBS rims.

Man, the thing about films like Casino, is that you really only have a few films to compare them too. The acting, the cinematography, the story. These aren't characters, their gods.

One of my favs. Its crazy how their lives really were and how they all really met. Ginger and Nicky met in AC before she met Ace in Vegas. She also had a kid prior her marriage to Ace with her pimp, Lester Diamond. She also went to HS with Lester.

My top 5 in order.

1. Godfather II
2. Godfather I
3. Goodfellas
4. Casino
5. The Departed

I can explain why but I'd be here all damn night writing essays.

Agree with Godfather II being the GOAT

Casino
Godfather
Goodfellas
Once Upon A Time In America

My top 5

overlooked, but a gem

You're watching it the wrong way, that's all I'm saying..  Complaining about the acting in Paid in full is like complaining about the wardrobe in King of Comedy. Wait a second....  There's actors in Paid in Full? Where? I musta missed that part. You know what Ace, You right. You right. *Puts gun away* *kicks ncmalko1 in the !$+*
