Bugsy Warren Beatty, Annette Bening
Sony Pictures, 1999
Twenty dwarves took turns doing handstands on the carpet
+ This may be a case of `too much glamour, not enough heart'...
'Bugsy' tells the story of mobster/visionary Benjamin (don't call him Bugsy, at least not to his face) Seigel. Sure he was a killer; but he also was a family man, a lover, a multi-tasker, a man of exquisite fashion sense, and a visionary. His vision, you ask? He had an epiphany in the desert and ...

Mobsters Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey
Universal Studios, 2003
Mobsters
This movie is one of the more realistic movies to date. It is more of a biography of a man that is not as well known as Al Capone from Chicago. Not only he created a organized commission of all mob families which is not part of this movie, he was also was a patriot to the United States of ...

The Godfather, Part III (Widescreen Edition) Al Pacino, Diane Keaton
Paramount, 2005
Is it worth it?
+ A good third entry. + Excellent in nearly every way, except as a Godfather film
The Godfather Part III is a great movie if you have watched the other two parts. As a stand alone movie, I can see why some people were not happy with it.
My sweetheart and I (reluctantly on my part) watched all three parts in a row for the first time this summer. It was a spellbinding story, ...
