Movie Reviews of Casino [HD DVD]

Movie Review: Wouldn't work on certain Blu-ray players
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this item (Casino) along with another (Goodfellas). Goodfellas worked fine on my Samsung player, and Casino couldn't get past the 'Play movie'!...The customer service at Amazon is Superior! I had another 'Casino' blu ray video the next day!...It, too, did not work!...So I figured it might be my Samsung player...So, rather than purchase another blu-ray player, I purchased a Playstation 3 which has Blu-ray capabilities...Guess what...the Casino dvd worked with the Playstation 3...The bottom line...the Casino dvd will not work on some Blu-ray players!

Summary of Casino [HD DVD]

Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire. Las Vegas, 1973, is the setting for this fact-based story about the Mob's multimillion-dollar casino operation, where fortunes and lives were made and lost with a roll of the dice.

Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. (It's modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi's true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein's wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese's earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it's still absorbing. And, hey--it's Scorsese! --Jim Emerson
