Movie Reviews

This thing stank hard.
10/05/1999
(1 out of 5 stars)

"Looks like some high-school kids made this as a class project. I kept looking at the box to see where it said this was a joke. The first fifteen minutes are some kids with a video camera playing pretend "FBI raid" at their local motel. After that disaster it moves on to a confusing and hard to hear narrative over some crappy old stock footage of "bad guys". After about 10 minutes of the man with marbles in his mouth, I couldn't stand it any more and I shut it off. Perhaps the other four discs are better, but I wouldn't hold my breath."
First Few DVD's Are Informative, Then They Repeat Themselves

"This is a pretty good expose on the history of the Mafia. I am nowhere near an expert in such things, but this set interested me as I have read the occasional Mafia novel, and this set was just so dang cheap. The first few DVD's were pretty entertaining and informative, going through the history of how the Mafia came into existance. From Bonnie and Clyde to John Gotti it was pretty good.After a few DVD's though it started repeating itself. The same Bonnie and Clyde clips, same Gotti stuff too. One of the DVD's as a matter of fact seems to be just a summary of what the other four DVD's went through.I probably won't watch these again, but I learned a little anyways.The quality is pretty poor, but I didn't expect much. I knew it was just some type of program copied from an A & E special or something. Plus what do you expect from old news clips anyways."

"Some good bits and pieces of information. Nothing you can't learn by just researching on the web or other books. I had to catch myself from falling asleep several times. Repeative as well. Don't waste your money."
