Didn't know that Nos. Not actually got round to watching Casino yet.

It's a terrific film and, as with the similarly lengthy Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street, the three-hour running time doesn't feel long or in any way excessive. The soundtrack, like with most Scorsese films, is brilliant.

I found The Wolf Of Wall Streets running time very excessive, I couldn't stand it. Casino is a masterpiece though, I actually prefer it to Goodfellas.

I think we should change the title of this place to Mainstream Labs.

Does no one discuss cult movies anymore? Frankie reviewed I Drink Your Blood and The Woman and .... nothing.

Someone dislikes a huge box office crunching movie such as Wolf of Wall Street and we have pages of discussion.

Still at least it's discussion.

Next up Bridget Jones Baby.

We all know that DePalma is a huge Hitchcock fan and he plays this gag to great effect in Raising Cain and even manages to add a nice jump scare into the mix as well

I actually watch a vast amount of films through the week which I wouldn't dream of bringing up on here, more so lately which I guess is why my reviews have been few and far between

Yes, but, Bridget Jones Baby?

I thought the first film was watchable but the second one was truly dire, in fact cringe inducingly so.
