\t\"\"Just watched “Casino<\/a>” on the DVD. It’s not the first time I see this movie, and it’s not the first time I like. It is rather long running 3 hours, but overall it is a very fine piece of cinematography. The story is somewhat typical. It’s about a street gang getting cooler and more powerful and then screwing it all up. Both Robert De Niro<\/a> and Joe Pesci<\/a> have a few films that go over similar lines. The acting, on the other hand, is good and the movie holds a certain suspense. Sharon Stone<\/a> was good too and the way she changed over the cause of the movie is unbelievable, but predictable. :)<\/p>\n

Bottomline – it’s a good crime movie to have in the home collection and watch it once in a few years.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
