Movie Review: Goodfellas is great
Summary: 5 Stars
This has always been one of my favorites movies and it is even better in HD.Movie Review: One of my favorite movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I can watch this over and over and never EVER get sick of it. It is about three decades in the Mafia, Narratted by Hank Hill, a irish/silician wiseguy, who in the end, rats out his crew in order to save him and his family's life. De Niro is incredible and doesn't fool around with his acting in this movie. This is the second movie, that I think that really "made" him (the first is the 1973 classic "Taxi Driver" by Director and long time friend Martin Sorcese.)Pesci is memorizing and Hilarious as Tommy, The silician wiseguy that is up for being "made" by the big wigs of his crew. Director Sorcese made a Mafia Masterpiece, which is now a staple in my DVD and VHS collections. If you like biographies, interested in Mafia History and movies and Love to see some great acting by a slew of incredible actors and actresses, do get this film. This mafia masterpiece will never grow old and stale with film viewers.Movie Review: Politically incorrect and awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like a good "Mafia-slaughtering-everybody-film," then you'll discover that this is the very best one ever made to date. I seriously doubt that Hollywood will ever yield a better one.
The story is one of the Mafia glitz and how they were, to a man, ruthless murderers that we love to glorify because they got to do all the stuff we couldn't afford to do, either financially or legally. Only the best for these guys. The setting is the 50s, 60s, and early 70s.
The top character is played by Joe Pesci, who loves to shoot and stab any fool who gives him the slightest bit of verbal guff. He's a diminutive figure who is out to prove that a hunting knife and a .357 Magnum manifest all the equalizer he needs to become a "Made Man".
So this pack of Mafia scoundrels steal from, hijack, rob, and assault all whom are unfortunate enough to enter the circle of their realm and this even includes a number of their own brotherhood when the FBI begins to turn up the heat, generating an insider snitch here and there. The old conflict about some mafia members not wanting to enter the dope business also raises the stakes.
This is a violent and graphic film in terms of language, murder, and darn near everything else.... and I loved it all. The soundtrack is equally incredible. Political correctness be damned!
Movie Review: The Italian mafia at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say about this movie is that it has to be the best Italian Mafia movie ever!! Definitly my favorite. Out of 10 I give it a 10Movie Review: Hang On to Your Seat
Summary: 5 Stars
Go to the bathroom and have your snacks ready BEFORE you pop this disc in, you will not want to leave during this very fast paced and rewarding 2 hours of gripping drama.
Dialogue is great,action served up stylishly and tense mood of ambitious and motivated Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) is captured brilliantly. Hill is a man with a million things on the to-do list, very few of them legal or moral. Even the romantic scenes where he meets his wife (Lorraine Bracco), an area where directors do an obligatory slowdown, have a fast pulse.
If I can criticize anything about this fine film, it would be-
*There is no Harvey Keitel cameo.
*The accuracy of the tales of real life mobster/writer Henry Hill are disputed; after all he did become a government informer, and snitches often have low credibility.
*There is a coke deal scene in a crummy motel-with the windows WIDE open-guess Marty needed the lighting more than the dope dealers needed their privacy!
Regardless of my nitpicks, this is one of my top 20 favorites of all time.
