In Reply to: The Natural, Somewhere In Time. You nailed it with Casino! posted by Road Warrior on June 9, 2006 at 20:45:43:
Road Warrior,Yes! Thanks- "Boogie Nights" just has everything, Wahlberg and Reynolds both were amazing and the clothes, sets, and hair were perfect.
Isn't "Casino" a great one? I pair with "Goodfellas"- another great one of the genre I can see multiple times. I'm surprised "Casino" isn't talked about more-every character was great- Whats-her-name did her best ever. DeNiro and Pesci can make that kind of violence and underworld come alive and those two movies for me ring true- that life has to be just like it's shown there.
Cheers,

Was that it had been done before and it was called Goodfellas.I'm not so sure that's justified. There are similarities, Pesci's characters are both cut from the same bolt of cloth. Remember our glee when he met his denoument in both? However, I don't think Scorcese repeated himself in these movies. He told a similar, but far different story from quite differing points of view. And yes, Sharon Stone has never been better!! She owned that character as few actors/actresses have EVER owned a character. Bravo madame Stone.
