Gambling
English attitudes and opinions prevailed in the "New World", and created gambling in America. Settlers brought with them the view that gambling was a harmless diversion. In these colonies, gambling was a popular and accepted activity. Legal gambling tended to be those types that were considered gentlemen-like.

Gangs of New York
Gangs of New York is just perfect entertainment. It is an enthralling, bloody, melodramatic epic that more than justifies its two and one half hour running time. In Gangs director Martin Scorsese spins another tale of the New York underworld but with a twist. Instead of the mid-twentieth century organized crime milieu of Goodfellas, Scorsese ventures back to the 19th century to show us the origin of the modern street gang. It's the early 1860s

Gangs of New York Review
Martin Scorsese’s latest film, Gangs of New York is a failed anti-war film. It is 165 minutes of some of the most violent footage ever seen in a film intended for mainstream entertainment.

Even leaving aside the violence, I admit that I am
