DVD Reviews of Casino [HD DVD]

DVD Review: Wouldn't work on certain Blu-ray players
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this item (Casino) along with another (Goodfellas). Goodfellas worked fine on my Samsung player, and Casino couldn't get past the 'Play movie'!...The customer service at Amazon is Superior! I had another 'Casino' blu ray video the next day!...It, too, did not work!...So I figured it might be my Samsung player...So, rather than purchase another blu-ray player, I purchased a Playstation 3 which has Blu-ray capabilities...Guess what...the Casino dvd worked with the Playstation 3...The bottom line...the Casino dvd will not work on some Blu-ray players!

DVD Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars

Casino is one of my favorite all time movies and the Blue Ray transfer is impeccable. All the color of this movie (Vegas) is really shown off.
This is the type of movie you show your friends.

DVD Review: Blu-Ray Review
Summary: 1 Stars

I have this on HD DVD and I just bought it on Blu-Ray and out of the 150 plus Blu-Rays that I own this is the only one that takes a long time to load. Anyone else have any problems with this disc loading?

DVD Review: classic restored
Summary: 5 Stars

The first time you see Ace Rothstein's salmon pink suit you will know you made the right choice in buying this blu-ray if you already have the dvd. No need to go into the story since you should know it by now.

The blu-ray really makes this movie look good, especially since there are so many bright and colorful scenes. Audio is good and Scorcese's soundtrack delivers plenty of funk and glamour.

DVD Review: Worth the buy, even if HD DVD is dead!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is basically a must own in your movie collection- why not buy it in HD?
Not much to say- movie is great and image quality is fantastic. Buy it!

Description of Casino [HD DVD]

Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire. Las Vegas, 1973, is the setting for this fact-based story about the Mob's multimillion-dollar casino operation, where fortunes and lives were made and lost with a roll of the dice.

Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. (It's modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi's true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein's wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese's earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it's still absorbing. And, hey--it's Scorsese! --Jim Emerson
