He may not have won the
Oscar for directing The Aviator, but Martin Scorses will forever be in
hearts and minds as one the greatest directors of all-time. When you
look back in his career and you see the achievements he has accomplished,
you wonder why the Academy is waiting to give the Golden trophy that
any in the film business wants. Coming out on June 14th is the 10th Anniversary
Edition of Casino. Outside of The Godfather, and The Godfather II, Scorsese
pretty much own the best mob movies. This three hour epic revolves around
the life of Sam "Ace" Rothstien and his move to Las Vegas with his wife,
played by Sharon Stone, and his best friend, played by Joe Pesci. Stone
was so good in this film that she won a Golden Globe award and nabbed
an Academy nomination. What this DVD offers is much more than the original,
which didn't include much. Besides enjoying the film once again, you
get to see some scenes that were deleted and plenty of interviews ranging
from the screenwriter Nick Pileggi to Martin Scorsese. We have seen Scorsese
speak on many occasions, but to see Pileggi talks about the mob and his
take on it is a real treat. |
