GoodFellas (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Buy This Item GoodFellas (Two-Disc Special Edition) by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $11.49  on 9-21-2008     Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece <i>GoodFellas</i> immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program. The director's kinetic style is perfect for recounting Hill's ruthless rise to power in the 1950s as well as his drugged-out fall in the late 1970s; in fact, no one has ever rendered the mental dislocation of cocaine better than Scorsese. Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to summon a particular time but to set a precise mood. <I>GoodFellas</I> is at least as good as <I>The Godfather</I> without being in the least derivative of it. Joe Pesci's psycho improvisation of Mobster Tommy DeVito ignited Pesci as a star, Lorraine Bracco scores the performance of her life as Hill's love interest, and every supporting role, from Paul Sorvino to Robert De Niro, is a miracle. Reader Reviews Don't buy it unless you have a Toshiba or regular HD player. It is no longer practical. I gave it 5 stars because, the DVD itself, is very good - nothing to complain about it. It's a good quality HD DVD. If you have a copy keep it because maybe it will be a collector's item in about 30 years. Give it to your kids. It will play in standard players but will not work in a Blu-Ray HD DVD player and that will be the HD DVD standard player.
