The Manliest Cocktails In The World

ev003904What’s manlier than going mano-a-beero with a pint of the world’s thickest stout mixed with a shot of whiskey? Knowing that if you don’t chug it fast enough, you’ll be downing chunks of curdled Bailey’s cream. The Irish Car Bomb is just one of 11 ultra-manly drinks on the following list.

You wouldn’t be caught dead drinking a cosmo, but all your friends will be drinking these at your funeral.

One drink is even notorious for being the favorite drink of the Italian Mafia, who are notorious for killing people. I’m not saying killing somebody makes you a man, but it’s probably not the best idea to call someone who just threw someone off a bridge a “cherry drinking pansy.”

If you consider yourself a man’s man then check out the following list of manly drinks, bottoms up!

This Better Not Be My Nanna

Flickr is a crazy little website. Pictures from all over the world, from crappy and boring “here’s me on the lawn, now here’s me laughing on the lawn” photos to beautiful, artist renderings of pristine landscapes — everything is contained, and easy to find, on this user friendly website.

Why, Flickr is so simple and easy even your grandma could do it!

And someone’s grandma certaily has.

I really can’t say how our office stumbled across this set of photos, but I can say that after searching through about 100 of them, I have never wished there was eye sanitizer more than at this exact moment. I mean…what.the.hell.IS.this?! (more…)

Mafia’s “Ten Commandments” Found in Sicily

Salvatore Lo Piccolo

After the arrest of Salvatore Lo Piccolo, a Godfather of high power in Sicily, police found the Mafia’s “Ten Commandments,” a list of rules to be strictly followed with respect.

Some of the commandments are typical and well-known by any gangster-movie enthusiast while others are more disturbing in their reality.

Read the Mafia’s “Ten Commandments” after the jump. (more…)

American Gangster Review

american gangsterAmerican Gangster is a perfect gangster film. A rise and fall film, but it is done better than both Empire and Carlito’s Way put together. Where Empire fails, American Gangster prevails where historical accuracy is needed as well as a good background story. It’s violent and sometimes shocking, but being an avid gangster/crime fan i know that compared to others this is almost nothing.

A brilliant biopic of New York gangster Frank Lucas the film also utilizes Lucas’ relationship with the Italian Mafia perfectly, giving you almost a two way view of the city’s underworld. Denzel Washington excels at the part as Lucas, and Russell Crowe as the cop out to get him is almost blinding. Crowe does a great American accent, as well as portraying a cop out to just do his job but can’t properly. It’s a a film about Lucas’ rise to fame in New York’s Heroin business, and his fall due to both Crowe and police persistence.

Like with most gangster films, you are always put off by either the acting or the story. But here this is not the case, you have a true story that does not mask Lucas’ violent life but rather portrays it as a life of both murder and violence. It does not glamorize his life in any way, it’s a film that says criminals never get away with what they’ve done. Both Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe are perfect in the criminal and cop relationship.

I would say now do not listen to the negative reviews of this film, they do no justice for the film. I’d recommend this film to fans of crime flicks and those who just want a riveting film to watch.
