Casino - DVD
Director: Martin Scorsese; Cast: Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci
Scorsese in typical mob-style, only this time set amongst the glitz of Las Vegas. For any fan of Las Vegas this is a fascinating semi-true historical piece, detailing the rise and eventual fall of mob control in the City of Sin. De Niro is great, Pesci incredibly violent, but it is Sharon Stone that steals the show in an Oscar nominated performance. <read more>

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - DVD
Director: Terry Gilliam; Cast: Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro

Leaving Las Vegas - DVD
Director: Mike Figgis; Cast: Nicholas Cage, Elisabeth Shue
Lets get this straight, this is not a fun film. What it is is a compelling look into one man's descent into alcohol induced suicide. It is an astonishingly moving, frighteningly powerful story, with superb performances from Cage (who won an Oscar) and Shue, who plays a Las Vegas hooker who falls for Cage, despite being almost as sunk into despair as he is. <read more>
