While it's visually stunning, Casino has just never compared to Goodfellas for me. The story is fascinating, and Sharon Stone really earned that Golden Globe, but when you watch the Casino Special Edition DVD, you get a good sense of what went wrong, as well as right. The bonus features are really great, getting into the details behind the film's look and feel and the difficulties the crew encountered while filming in Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps.

The 2.35:1 anamorphic picture looks stunning. Check out Robert DeNiro's pink suit (not to mention the exploding car) in chapter 1. The opulent Vegas sets look crisp, clean, and impressive. I love the scene in chapter 3 where Ginger throws the poker chips all over the casino. It's so colorful and presents so much detail. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack sounds excellent, as is to be expected from any Scorsese film. And, as much as I hate the voiceover narration, it comes through clearly over the music.

The extras on this disc are abundant and of very high quality. My favorite is the "Casino: The Story" featurette, in which Scorsese and writer Nicholas Pileggi (who also wrote Goodfellas) discuss how the project got started and how it differed from Goodfellas. Whereas Goodfellas was adapted from the book, Pileggi was writing Casino as he went, and Scorsese just threw the whole thing together in his head—not too shabby under the circumstances.

I can confirm that I had a difficult time finding anything that I could play swiftly and effortlessly. I'm glad I was informed that there were ggbet1.net here because I only play there now. I hope you find it helpful, even if you can just read about it here, and know that this is unquestionably the safest and most dependable location to play.

Just checked out the 'Casino Special Edition' and it's fascinating to see how Universal has crafted such an immersive experience around the iconic movie. Interestingly, I came across an article on authentic rewards exploration recently that explores real money online experiences in Australia. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in how the digital evolution of casinos is creating new opportunities for players.

Really loved this night, guys. Because I could spend some time with you and hear your thoughts on gambling. I am a huge fan of all that is new and entertaining. Today I found tojiwin and thought it would be my ideal day for earning some cash on playing games at the same time. I also see there is an invite commission, so if you register and share the link that will not be in vain. Good, isn't it?
