Casino
A fantastic look at the sleazy and violent underbelly of Las Vagas. Pesci although plays a similar part to what he did in Goodfellas, is a very frightening nut job, who meats a nasty end. DeNiro is on brilliant form, but the biggest suprise is Sharon Stone, showing her true acting talent.

What a film, one of the best Gangster films since Goodfellas. Nicholson is brilliant, in a violent and funny look at organised crime and police corruption.

Gangs Of New York
A bit of disappointment, but with visual flair and strong performances all round there is still much to enjoy. Maybe one day a directors cut will be available, as it seems a lot of the film ended on the cutting room floor, to cut back on the original four hour running time.

The Godfather Part 3
A very underrated sequel, hated when released back in 1990, but the truth is although the weakest in the trilogy, this is still a very good film, but could have been so much more.

Road To Perdition
Hanks is great as the hitman out for revenge. Also it's great to see one of the final performances by the legend Paul Newman. Look out for a nasty Daniel Craig as Newman's spoilt son. Jude Law is very nasty and funny as the Assasin assigned to stop Hank's Wrath.
