Page 1 of Casino (10th Anniversary Edition)...

Just ploughed my way through this film and all the extras, and am gobsmacked at just how good this is. Came to this whole genre late as I only watched the Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas when I picked them up cheaply on DVD last year.

One word: amazing 8)

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Bloody hell, It`s already been ten years!?? :o

After picking casino up as part of the universal gangster box set with Carlitos way and Scarface earlier this year , i still cant make up my mind about it . I loved many scenes , it has fantastic acting and direction but theres iffy something about it . I think its ultimatly that it feels too much like its trying to reach the untouchable `goodfellas` . There are also certain scenes which felt like they were being shocking for the point of being shocking , whereas violent and brutal scenes in other scorsese films felt like they were justified.

maybe its just me , as many people love this film , i think ill have to give it a second watching as recently many films which i didnt really like on first viewing improved hugely on second.
