Gangs of New York

Oddly enough, I guess Disney announced yesterday that this will be released on BluRay July 1st.

I guess we'll just have to wait.

just watched this on my flight home last night

don't know what took me so long

really enjoyed the whole movie ..... while not a cameron diaz fan, I think it was a good role for her and one of the few movies I actually found her to be attractive in

interesting, albeit brief, performance by Neeson ..... also interesting to see John C. Reilly in that role

The show went to Daniel Day Lewis though .... every scene he absolutely owned

Was a gritty portrayal ..... i didn't even find the love angle all that sappy as there was usually some tension bookending it

overall I really liked this movie and now absolutely must see There Will Be Blood (interesting how few movies he actually does, but his performances are usually spot on)

It was okay. Leo's accent was iffy at best, but overall not a terrible show.

Daniel Day Lewis rules.

Yes, you MUST now watch There Will Be Blood.

Loved that show.

Yeah - Leo seemed to have some accent troubles .... some of the secondary characters as well ... they would kind of float around a bit.

I think I also would of liked the narrative to come from a different character for the bulk of the action

I asked Tyler Anbinder, who wrote the book Five Points, about that and he told me that the Dead Rabbits gang was most likely an invention of the newspapers at the time.

I'm surprised that there isn't more of a discussion on this movie.

Just rented it over the weekend. The cinematography was awesome. Scorcese really captured the brutalness and squalor that existed in the Big Apple during the middle of the 19th century.

DDL was amazing. I was watching this and couldn't believe it was him. For some reason, I was just picturing Geraldo Rivera

I have never beed much of a Leonardo fan, but he did the job adequately. The opeing sequence was just riveting and almost operatic. Phenominal music, dialog and action.

It was quite a bit more brutal than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be somewhat of a chick flick - but it wasn't at all.

Man life was tough back then.

I think I read somewhere that the set was built in Italy or something and was a very accurate portrayal of NYC then.

I rewatched this for the first time since watching it when it was first released on dvd. I had forgotten most of the details; all I remembered well was the incredible opening scene.

DDL was absolutely amazing. He was larger than life in every single scene.

I can't believe it was shutout at the oscars. Screwed over by Chicago in a few categories IMO.

Any category where Chicago won something screws over everyone.
