Initial Thoughts: Scorsese is way more fascinating than any lame clout-chasing Twitter idiot makes them out to be. More soon.

Glenn Kenny pulls off a mostly enjoyable take on the 30th anniversary of the legendary gangster movie, one of my all-time favorites. He gets a little too hung up on specific details and the lives of bit players. He also is a bit too much of a fan to give this one an appropriate level of objectivity, though he's willing to criticize its racism and violence when need be. If you like the movie, you owe it to yourself to read it as you'll learn a lot.

An enjoyable read, but perhaps better suited for a "Goodfellas" fanatic than a mere enthusiast like myself. Much attention is paid to the craft of filmmaking, and about half the book is a shot-by-shot deconstruction of the movie, so watch or rewatch it before you read.
