SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND! I decided to check out Scarface again. Why? Because I just got a new 100″ screen with my new Panasonic PT-AX200U projector. SWEET. Oh and the movie was good too. 
I’m sure MOST of you (except moviemonkeychick) knows Scarface but just for grins here my review.
Scarface is a classic gangster / drug lord movie. An Oliver Stone pic, it has all sorts of interesting dynamics. Al Pancino plays Tony the hard core gangster from Cuba. Michelle Pfeiffer is the “love interest” back in Michelle’s good lookin’ days. Although, admittedly she was just too damn skinny for my tastes.
Anyway, its a story of the rise and fall of a drug lord. One who is brutal, greedy and goes to excess with everything. Ultimately he breaks rule #2 of never get hooked on your own supply. Everything goes to hell and in the end he’s taken out as expected. You can see it building to it and yet you still feel interested.
Scarface is a classic movie that any fan of gangster movies should watch. You’ll see other movies take the same approach that were made years later because it was so good. 5 of 5 monkeys.
