Jack White committing this crime in revenge for the death of his cousin, makes a lot of sense. "I think everything about this explanation. Better known as "three-fingered Jack," he was motivated by revenge for the Moran gang having killed a relative. Edgar Hoover.įarrell claimed a man named William White led the hit squad. The letter written six years after the murders by state highway employee Frank Farrell was sent to director J. "Well, I think we solved the Valentine's Day massacre," said Eig.Įig says a letter from the FBI archives proves Capone had nothing to do with it. Until this book by Chicago author Jonathan Eig.
When several hoods dressed as Chicago cops stormed Moran's North Clark Street headquarters and gunned down seven, it was always presumed that Capone ordered the ambush. In real life 81 years ago, Capone's South Side Italian gang was in a bootlegging war against the Bugs Moran Irish gang on the North Side. So either mobologists have been mistaken all these years, or the Chicago author of a new book is dead wrong in his contention that a mobster other than Capone was responsible.įor decades, Hollywood has validated history's educated guess that Al Capone called the shots on St.
It’s gone horribly, hideously wrong.Since February 14, 1929, it has been widely accepted that Al Capone was behind the machine gun murders of rival gangsters lined up in a North Side garage. To say Jones’s effort pales by comparison is like saying American politics has taken an odd turn.
Warcraft makes it impossible not to draw comparisons to Peter Jackson’s trip to Middle Earth. Worse, the visuals are clumsy, particularly compared to cinema’s history of onscreen Orcs. The plotting itself just makes you sad – so much time is wasted setting up sequels that will never, ever happen. When she’s captured by the humans, will she betray them, or has she finally found her clan? And will she be wooed by Travis Fimmell’s bizarre Paul Rudd impression as the knight Lothar? Patton plays Garona, halfbreed slave to the magic-wielding Orc Gul’Dan. When solid actors, including Ben Foster (who needs to fire his agent), look ridiculous delivering this faux-archaic dialog, what chance does a hack like Paula Patton have? Weak writing by Jones and Charles Leavitt (who’s never written anything worth seeing) doesn’t help matters. Gaudy CGI and caricatured performances rob the film of any chance to pull the viewer in – the video game itself looks about as realistic. Though Warcraft proved too great a task, even for him.
SHOTTY CAPOGNE CODE
Moon (2009) and Source Code (2011) proved his mettle with fantasy and action, and showed him to be an inventive craftsman. But if anyone can turn this into a worthwhile cinematic experience, it’s Jones.
SHOTTY CAPOGNE MOVIE
It’s a medieval fantasy with Orcs, dwarves, elves, bearded magicians – basically it’s a movie based on a series of video games that amount to little more than Lord of the Rings fan fiction. Warcraft, directed by one of our most exciting new filmmakers, Duncan Jones, is not the harbinger we were hoping for. Maybe leveraging honest to god talent will be enough to meld these seemingly similar art forms? Or is the impending onslaught of high profile gamer flicks just an opportunity to waste some of cinema’s greatest working artists? Has the problem been lack of talent? Assassin’s Creed will feature Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, and Splinter Cell will star Tom Hardy.
