      New York Post had an op-ed piece that said the same.

        If there was actually an op-ed rather than a review about a movie I have to see that.

          It's a Scorsese movie made after the year 2000, so of course it's probably a self-parody of his usual tropes, right down to having his usual cadre of actors. Surprised he couldn't work DiCaprio in there somewhere.

            He didn't stop doing that after The Departed? I thought we all got the joke?

            You can only make "The Bowery Boys Meet Dracula" so many times until people start to think that's all you've got left.

                The reviewer sounds like an idiot. I'm intellectually predisposed to hate everything about that movie (it sounds like the same overdone adolescent mafia crap churned out to cash in on the rubes ever since the GF 2 revenue stream went cold), but it won't be because of that review.

                    At least one exception.

                    Patti's heroes may be gone, but she is both with us and for us, so strongly that her music is something, finally, to rally around. For one thing, she has certain qualities that can make her a hero to a whole generation of young girls, and may not be what you think. Suffice to say that Patti has done more here for woman as aggressor than all the Liberation tracts published, and has pushed to the front of the media eye that is just as much a process (ordeal) of learning to "become" a "woman" as it is for men wrestling with all this ballyhooed "manhood" business. It's this tough chick who walks like Bo Diddley and yet is all woman that we've been waiting for for so long, a badass who pulls off the feat of being simultaneously idol of women and lust object of men (and women, no doubt).

                      The Cincinnati Kid:
                      Up and coming poker gambler ends up taking on the best in the business. Solid movie. Kept you wondering what kind of ending it would be, as it should be. Some nice foreshadowing, some nice red herrings. If you know poker at all, that's a bonus; you find yourself trying to read the hands.

                      Plus....Ann-Margret.


                      As far as The Irishman goes....Pesci's best role ever, and he never raised his voice. Who gives a sh* if it's the same actors? If that is what they do best, so be it. Just sayin'.
                      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                        Tonight was the last night A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was playing at my local Emagine, so I squeezed it in.

                        Solidly written. Hanks was Hanks, love him or hate him.

                          Not bad, not good.
                          Not worth another viewing.
                          Mookie would rather spend 3hr + watchin major league 1&2

                          And was Alec Baldwin not available?
                          Would have loved to hear Scorsese say “just make deniro look like Alex then” in makeup
                          a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.
