Casino

CASINO (1995) - Feb. 5, 2005 (Fourth Viewing? Fifth?)
I don't care what anyone says, this movie is right up there with Goodfellas. Perhaps not quite as good, but definitely right up there. Martin Scorsese's direction is brilliant and about as good as anything he's ever done. Robert DeNiro gives one of his last great performances as an oddsmaker who attempts to run a casino. The movie is extremely long but it moves by at such a quick pace you don't feel it at all. ****
