 | | 7. Casino | | | Starring: Joe Pesci Robert De Niro Director: Martin Scorsese | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 |  | Casino - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/18/2008 8:15 PM | |
The way I see it, Martin Scorsese has one problem: He's in love with the sound of his own voice, as it comes out through the dialogue of films like GoodFellas and now, Casino. Clocking in at three long hours, Casino is an entertaining and engrossing film, but just drags a simple story into a sprawling, epic tale that desperately needs a little trimming.
Based on a true story, Casino is the tale of Sam Rothstein (Robert De Niro), the best of the old bookmakers, who is hand-picked by his mob bosses "Back Home" to go to Las Vegas to run the Tangiers Casino. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Righteous Kill | | | Starring: Al Pacino Robert De Niro Director: Jon Avnet | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/6/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Righteous Kill - DVD Review By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/11/2009 9:00 AM | | Pacino. DeNiro. Armed and dangerous. In a cop drama. In NYC. Together. Written by the writer of Inside Man. Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, the fact that it doesn't live up to expectations is not unexpected. Those are some lofty expectations. Both Dons Corleone in the same movie? Scarface and Travis Bickle mixing it up as New York's finest? read the full review | |

 | | 26. Ronin | | | Starring: Jean Reno Robert De Niro Director: John Frankenheimer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Ronin - DVD Review By: James Brundage - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/13/2009 5:25 PM | |
Ronin is one of the few action movies that I can chew on without having to regurgitate. Normally, the action film fills me with a sort of dread. In fact, per my recollection, Ronin filled me with a sort of dread the first time around (despite Robert De Niro being in the film). You see, the action film is a sort of black hole for the industry. Money gets sucked into the film but it passes a sort of event horizon, at which point no matter how much money is poured in, the movie is still terrible. Sure, it is so absolutely dumb that you can sit back and enjoy it anyway, but the fact of the matter is that by the time the action movie has passed this point of no return you know you are watching trash. read the full review | |

 | | 33. What Just Happened | | | Starring: Bruce Willis Catherine Keener Director: Barry Levinson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/24/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | What Just Happened - DVD Review By: Blake French - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/13/2009 5:25 PM | |
In Hollywood, hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars can hinge upon a leading man's decision to shave. Just look at Bruce Willis. Not in real life... but in What Just Happened, where Willis appears as himself. In the film, he's been cast in a big movie, but he's put on a few pounds since his last picture, and has decided to grow a shaggy beard. This doesn't settle well with the studio that's paying $20 million for a man with sex-appeal; they don't want someone who resembles Santa Claus. If Willis doesn't shave and drop some weight, the studio will pull the plug on the movie and sue for damages. But Willis has been growing the beard for six months and wants to make an artistic statement. read the full review | |
