Recent events in California gambling have shown that the film Casino is not out of date. This movie, an unlikely cable TV all-star (how many times did this air on TNT? 10,000 times?) is one I understand more as I get older, particularly in regard to DeNiro's terrible bet on Sharon Stone's character (justice for Ginger? I find myself empathizing with her more and more on revisiting of the film). Pesci, Scorsese, DeNiro, Stone - this film is often considered the more minor entry in Scorsese's gangster oeuvre but I've watched it more times than any of his other films. Is this a Watch This Tonight all-star for you? Let me know at
