Carlito's Way (1993)

  The story follows Carlito, a Puerto Rican mobster who just got out of prison. His notorious name and deeds get in his way of trying to stay away from his dark past while he struggles to clear his name and start fresh. His dealings with an ambitious and dirty lawyer stall even longer his getting away from New York for a new place and life...
  Brian De Palma has a secret but easily recognizable recipe for a crime drama film! Carlito's way follows paths that had already proven successful with Scarface but still, De Palma manages to create a fresh crime classic. Carlito's way focuses not only on the face-value of  sex, drugs and rock n' roll of the mafia life but also on the vanity and pain that surrounds such a lifestyle. Topped up with a mood-setting soundtrack and a nostalgic-y cinematography, this film makes for an instant viewing pleasure.
  Not much needs to be said about Pacino's acting on this one or in general. You get what you expect ; a solid performance of a character that is both a cruel son-of-a-bitch and a lover too. Sean Penn, on the other hand, is what really catches the eye. His personification of the lawyer that's much too eager to get his hands dirty but doesn't really have the balls for it is really something unique. Penelope Ann Miller also contributes an extra something to the plot as the girl madly in love with Carlito but so out of anything criminal that it hurts just to see them together.
Must watch this : on a hot summer night together with four hefty glasses of your choice of poison. Getting a bit drunk will help you get the feels with this movie even more. Just be careful of the ending! The real lesson of the movie is Regret Nothing but Regret Everything!

I know how you feel but we will try to get back that teddy bear

"Bye, Felicia"

Goodfellas (1990)

  Henry Hill, James Conway and Tommy De Vito start from the bottom of the Mafia ladder as teenagers and work their way up through numerous violent deeds and criminal acts. Their 30-year service in the Mafia is violently put to a stop when they start dreaming too big...
  Martin Scorcese's thing for Mafia films is more than evident and we certainly can't argue with his addiction. Being a biography, this film focuses on the personalities of the heroes and how they evolve through time and hardships rather than staying on the criminal deeds. Glamor and luxury seem to come and go with money and power but this film reminds that way down the road it's all for nothing! A classic Scorcese!
  Ray Liotta steals the show here, even though the rest of the cast is equally talented. His character's way up the Mafia hierarchy and then his way down is vividly portrayed in his expressive face and eyes. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are his best friends from the start and just when everything seemed to be getting great, the toll of greed for money and power evens things up...
Must watch this :  on a rainy November afternoon. After the film, make yourself a cup of coffee and sit yourself down and consider why on earth are you still doing what they tell you!

What is the matter with the world these days?

Gimme my kush or more ketchup is coming.

Livin' La Vida Coca

Casino (1995)

  The story of wo best friends, Sam 'Ace' Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, and how they reached the top of the mafia world starting from small-time thugs to big time corrupt entrepreneurs. A wild ride through money, casinos, gambling, booze, drugs, violence and a trophy wife!
  Martin Scorsese definitely has a niche for filming movies about people that came to power by looking down upon the society's laws and how the uphill turned them into greedy monsters that eventually kill their own selves. He certainly does it so poetical;y, though, closely examining each element of their psychosynthesis and portraying its positive and negative side as a harmonious two-steps-forward-three-step back ride to death. Hats off!
  Robert DeNiro  and Joe Pesci go together like hamburger goes with fries, like gambling goes with losing. One completes the other in this wheel of fortune that is bound to turn against them. Sharon Stone completes the main cast as the poisonous woman that has to have everything. James Woods, Don Rickles, Frank Vincent and many other classic, mafia faces appear and elevate this movie to the top of the mountain of coke they just imported!
Must watch this : with your best buds only, pizza and  heavy atmosphere. This movie doesn't need any women around, this is about Rocknrollas! After the film, daydream about being out of the law, rich and full of women. Keep daydreaming until it hurts and then listen to that mellow sucka to calm you down.
