The Movie: I like this movie so much that even though I already own it on widescreen VHS, I wanted to get it on DVD too. So I did. But truthfully, I have a hard time watching it past the first half of the movie because well, I don't like seeing a guy who has it all get his life ruined by a woman he falls in love with... but this movie is great. It's about Sam Rothstein, a guy with mob ties, that runs the fictitious Tangiers casino in Las Vegas... but the story is actually based on real-life events that occurred at the Stardust during the 70's.

It's one of those loooooong movies, but it's very well written and acted, and has Joe Pesci using the "F" word more times than you can ever imagine. Plus it's got Robert DeNiro playing the lead role, so how can you go wrong?

The DVD: You'd think there would be a "special edition" of this movie out there, but amazingly there isn't. What you get is a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that is of mediocre quality. You get a trailer, production notes, and that's it. As popular as this movie is, you'd think there'd be some director's commentary, or a documentary or something, but nope, nothing of the sort. Hrm.
