Top 10 Greatest Mob Movies Of All Time
Its been awhile, but I have returned to my top 10 countdown which I started back in November and vow to wrap up the top 5 in a week
#10) The Last Don Series (I and II)
#9) A Bronx Tale
#8) The Sicilian
#7) Once Upon A Time In America
#6) The Untouchables
#5) Casino
Five years after Goodfellas, Martin Scorcese decided to give Writer Nicholas Pileggi and actors Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci a call and said lets do it all over again. And thank goodness they did. Along with Sharon Stone and James Woods, Deniro and Pesci put on a masterful performance playing former new york mobsters that move to Las Vegas and fall into corruption. Deniro plays Ace Rothstein who gets caught up with Sharon Stone and Pesci plays Nicky Santoro who falls victim to drugs and eventually (in one of the greatest mob movie scenes of all time) gets beaten to within a breath of death and then buried barely alive.
The third person narrative from Deniro proves crucial as well as the flashbacks. Scorcese proves that he truly is a genius.
Blast From The Vault
Posted February 12, 2004
So me, nest, chrissy and sam are sittin in the moutain lair eating our mean genes yesterday, when we here this extremly loud collison of metal, very very loud and we were still far away from it
Everyone looked over and the place instantly got quiet, I couldn't really see what had happened so I thought nothing of it and carried on with my eating of the Spicy Mahntahneer Chicken Sandwich with no mayo
So earlier this morning I am reading blogs and I stumbled across Rachel Butera's always humoruous and informative blog and after I got past the part of her jumping through a dumpster I read about her wait in the McCoys line
Apparently while in line she knocked over the HUGE ketchup dispensor that was metal and sent it crashing to the ground creating a loudness rivaled only by that of a sonic boom
So whenever everyone at the table eating asked about the loud bang, what the fuck was that? I now have an answer
It was RB, in the Kitchen, with the ketchup dispensor
Be sure to check the vault for classic posts like these

Colin and Christie have finally become the team to beat, moving away from the pack after a couple of excellent decisions by Colin. Christie continues to slow the team but Colin will figure out to not give her any more roadblocks, cause she is just awful. But they captured the fastforward and have a good 20 hour lead on the rest of the game. They are ensured to be in it until the final four.
The next four teams represent the main pack, they are led by Charla and Mirna who have become a favorite and serious conteders. Charla is a genious at the airport and Mirna uses her midgetness to get strangers to help her. Right behind them is the christian couple of Brandon and Nicole but they are nothing and should be out within 2 weeks. The black parents, Chip and Kim are in fourth and Chip has literally taken over the game, just showing utter domiance while taking Kim along for the ride. The 2 Jews are at the back of the main pack and they might even drop down to the battle for last place after the one jewish brother hurt his knee badly and can barely walk, along with the fact that they are both out of shape.
The battle for last place rages on and for the third week in a row is between my twins Kami and Karli and the Bowling Moms who finished in last place in a non elimination route and now will lose allll their money and not get any money at the beginning of the next leg. They WILL be gone in the next episode, there is no doubt about it. The twins continue to fight to get to the top, they are sooo cute and in great shape so that should help them, just not very smart.
Tuesday 10pm, I know you'll watch
