Sold As New But Wasn't
Added 10/3/2009
I dont believe the item I bought was fit into new status. All DVD's have some sort
of plastic packaging and or security labels. This did not. If I wanted used I could
have saved a few bucks instead of paying into the new classification.

GOTTI movie
Added 4/15/2009
I watched this video for an assignment in college. I found this movie to be very informative on the making of the Gambino/Gotti organized crime group. The movie touched on the makings, the roles, and the types of businesses they were involved with from the 20's up to 1996. I strongly suggest this movie as part of your research, with the help of this movie, you can easily search out more data from http://law.jrank.org/pages/11944/Organized-Crime-American-Mafia.html to get the fine details of what you see in the movie! This was a very interesting movie!

Gotta Get GOTTI
Added 12/6/2008
The movie GOTTI id a must for all of us Mafia-Movie-Buffs! Armand Assante is amazing and very convincing at the part. John Gotti never talked to the FBI so we have to take into consideration that a lot of this movie is John's portrayal - not necessarily FACT! Overall it is a fantastic movie and 1 of my top 3 movies!

A string to facts about the unfolding Gotti story
Added 11/1/2008
Gotti (1996) (TV), is informative to the extent that it is able to
tell a string to facts about the unfolding of the Gotti story in
the 1980's and 90's.
Not being an scholar, taken at face value, a lot of what this HBO
production tells, is apparently accurate and factual.
For example, indeed, on Sep. 29, 1986, TIME magazine featured Gotti
on the front page.
Also, the testimony of Sammy the Bull is public, and as such, would
not require much imagination to weave into the script of this
movie the the script writer.
Also, a fair amount of detail seems to match what is seen in another
movie, Boss of Bosses starring Chazz Palminteri.
If there are weak points in the work, it would be the excess
swearing on camera, as well as the juvenile, introverted dialog
that is often shown on screen, as if Gotti was unable to see things
from any other point of view or angle, than his own. This is an
absurd notion, cheapening the fact that this was the leader of the
Gamino family, a major organization, and not of a high school
project or small fry association.
On the other hand, the legal implications of the underlying
operations runs by Gotti, are well demonstrated, in their
seriousness, definitiveness, and far-reaching potential, in
particular, of the RICO statutes in catching, convicting and imprisoning
alleged organized criminals.
At the end of the day, perhaps what did Gotti in, was his mass
media prominence, exposure and macro and micro influence in society
which threatened its integrity, risking creating millions of
negative copy-cat, non-compliant behavior of normal citizens, something
that could not be tolerated by the elite or by the majority at large.
On the other band, the recession of 2008 in the USA, economic
failures and misconduct of Wall St. organizations and the
victims of the war in the Middle East, ( since the turn of the
decade), is as serious, if not more, than organized crime,
yet ... gets a free pass simply because the integrity of society is
not at risk, nor does running the printing presses with fiat
currency, and indebting future generations (who have no voice
today) result in any protests today.
In sum, the movie's script is somewhat shaky, by making the
success of Gotti seem too easy, too juvenile, too simple, taken for
granted ... as if anyone who is trigger-happy is only a step away from
making a million dollars when that is anything but the case. A
street killer with a pistol does not a millionaire make.
