We consider ourselves movie connoisseurs.  I've been obsessed with going to the movies since I was a boy.  It was a rare treat for our family to go to a cinema, so once I was grown and on my own, it's a guilty pleasure I've gladly indulged on the regular.  I do research as to what's coming out when, I could watch trailers for hours, etc.  You get it.  So, Debbie and I RARELY get burned like we did last weekend.  This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

On the surface, how could it miss?  For starters, the director is Ridley Scott.  He's a genius.  He directed "Alien," "Gladiator," "Blade Runner," "Thelma & Louise," and many more.  He's been nominated for Oscars!  Lady GaGa, ALSO a former Oscar nominee, she's the lead actress.  The cast also features, Oscar WINNERS Jared Leto, Al Pacino, and Jeremy Irons.  And folks, I don't know how else to put it, this movie is terrible.  To say it is slow is an insult to turtles without legs.  So, beware.  Just because the cast is can't miss, don't think a movie can't, because it can.  And "House of Gucci" did-BIGTIME!
