Speaking of Daniel Day-Lewis, I just watched "The Gangs of
New York" last night, and he did a masterful job playing the
bad guy.  Leonardo DiCaprio also did a good job.  The nice
thing about this movie (speaking of accents) is that
although the gangs included "fresh-off-the-boat" Irish and
African Americans, and "natives" (the "we were here first"
group), Scorsase did not feel the need to focus on accents.
There were some characters who had accents - probably
natural - but most of the time I was unaware of them (so
either they were very good or not there at all!)

The film was filled with violence - but not gratuitous
violence (or I would have been "outta there").  I really
felt like I could almost smell the scenes - the filth and
poverty were well depicted.  This certainly isn't a "feel
good" film, but very well done and worth seeing, especially
now that it's available to rent.
