Review of Once Upon a Time in America (1984) by Jimmy H — 28 Sep 2014
This movie came out the same week I started doing my show, 30 years ago. I loved it then, I love it even more now. The original (which also is out on DVD) is two hours and 24 minutes long. This new release is four hours and 18 minutes.
The beauty of a DVD, you can create your own intermissions. Pop up a bvig bowl of popcorn and enjoy, or should I say experience this cinematic masterpiece. Both Robert DeNiro and James Woods have told me it's their favorite, yet least known films.
FOR ADULTS ONLY!!! Very graphic, very violent. A perfect period piece spanning the 1920s to the late 1960s. For you home library, you must buy and you must buy in Blu-Ray. Of the thousands of movies I've seen, "Once Upon A Time In America," is in my top three.
