I just finished watching Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas," and I thought why not just do a review as it's fresh in my mind....

Ray Liotta and Robert DeNiro took control and they delivered in this classic. After I finished watching the film, I went and googled "Henry Hill" and "Jimmy Conway." lol I found out that Henry Hill is regarded as the biggest "Mob rat" of all time and Jimmy, well, his real name was Jimmy Burke and his daugther wanted $100,000 so they could use his name, instead they settled for Conway, his mom's maiden name.

Ok Now for the movie. Over 2 and a half hours, this movie does not let up at all; there are certainly no boring parts and you are fully concentrated on the proceedings throughout. Very rarely can a movie have that affect on me. I haven't watched many serious, and hard hittng Mafia movies but this is definitely my current favorite (Though I will be watching the Godfather series in the future). There is no doubt in my mind that this is an instant favorite for me and an instant classic for Hollywood.


********* (9/10)

Scenes:

Ending: I loved how they did it. They set it up to the point where you knew that Henry
will eventually have to Snitch on Paulie and Jimmy. (Jimmy only giving Paulie
$3,200 and Jimmy almost trying to Whack Karyn lol)

Turning Point: Tommy Getting Whacked on the Day that he is supposed to be made. That was a
very powerful scene.

Funniest: Come on this was an Italian Mafia movie... of course there are going to be a lot of
laughs, lol

Memorable:

Oh! This officially means that The GAMBITT has officially started!!

Stay tuned for more!!
