I finally watched Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and I just want to give a shout out to the writers because, wow.This is a really important scene, and what the whole plot hangs on really, when Tom Cruise draws Michael Nyqvist’s face on his hand which Jeremy Renner then identifies for him from this drawing which seemed to take less than 10 seconds. Drawing skillz!

In GoodFellas, the hoods, even with all their cheerful sociopathy, get progressively smaller and pettier as the movie progresses, it is, after all, about the grind of small timers. Casino, on the other hand, elevates Scorsese’s favorite themes—greed, hubris, the primal lure of violence—above the street corner and into the inner working’s of America’s Sodom. The film is a weighty one; an anthropological exploration of how the mob lost their westernmost outpost to more rapacious forces like Steve Wynn and Disney-style real estate corporations. The three personalities at center of it all—The Accountant, The Gangster, and The Hustler—are rendered so large, so loud, that they match the mythic level of a true rise and fall. Casino has scope and depth that GoodFellas can’t achieve.
