Have you seen 'Heat' with deniro, pacino, ashley judd, and val 
kilmer? If not, judging by those three deniro flicks listed, you'll 
like it.

I read the book 'Casino' and the movie is a scene for scene 
adaptation of the book-- all completely factual.

I saw Heat in the theatre when it first came out.  I liked it.

The one thing I didn't like was the gimmicky way they had De Niro 
and Pacino reunited because it was the first time they had ever 
appeared on film together, although they had been in the same film 
before (Godfather II). So, this was supposed to be the cool thing 
about Heat and I find that this distracted from the movie.

 adaptation of the book-- all completely factual.


I've read both Wiseguy (upon which Goodfellas was based) 
and Casino, both by Nicholas Pileggi. Pileggi appears prominently 
in both the Casino and Goodfellas DVD extras.

It was a really enjoyable movie, but yesh, little nits to it. I 
personally didn't think DeNiro's girlfriend in the film wasn't his 
type, at all. No edge to her. Suzie Creamcheese all the way. And he 
wasn't here type either.
