I am Jarrett Abernathy. I have been writing film reviews for more than twenty years for various publications, including the New York Press.
After watching countless movies in cinemas and on television, the desire to review films was born in the distant past. Later it was DVDs and VHS.
While watching, I always wanted to tell you what I thought of this or that scene, the camerawork, or the director’s work on the picture as a whole.
Then, when I watched the next film with my friends or family, I would immediately give my comments. I always thought it would help movie lovers like me to choose a worthy movie to watch, whether at home or in the cinema.
Canada produces a lot of good movies, both joint projects with other countries and just Canadian projects.
One of my favourite themes in movies is casinos. This love came after watching Martin Scorsese’s “Casino” in the 90s. Since then, I have been fascinated by the world of gambling and how it all works. I started doing various research, researching information and visited many different land-based and the best online casino. I now devote a significant portion of my publications to this topic, along with movies.
Movie gambling is a fascinating investigation of reward, risk, and the psychology of the human condition. Whether it’s the glamour of the casino floor or the intensity of high-stakes poker games, these movies deliver gripping stories, strong feelings, and enduring characters that have cemented their place in movie history. Gambling movies offer a unique window into the world of wagering, whether it’s the tension of a high-stakes card game or the excitement of a high-stakes roulette roll.
The Best Movies About Gambling
Casino (Martin Scorsese, 1995)
As I said before, this is one of my favourite gambling movies. This is a must-watch film by Martin Scorsese. It’s about the life of casino managers in Las Vegas. The danger and the violence that goes with it are the basis of this gambling epic.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Guy Ritchie, 1998)
Fun British crime film tells us a story of four London-based friends who invest in a gambling scheme. A combination of a high-energy action sequence, quick-witted comedy and outstanding performances by actors make Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels a classic that will leave you quoting its famous lines for years to come.
Owning Mahowny (Richard Kwietniowski, 2003)
It tells the story of a bank clerk who embezzles more than $10 million from his branch to feed his gambling addiction. Owning Mahowny is an entertaining look at the downward spiral of one gambler. This movie was on the list of the best movies of the year in 2003. Now it’s on my list of the best gambling movies too.
The Best Movie Producers
Steven Spielberg stands out as the director and producer in his long and very successful career who has influenced contemporary filmmaking more than any other individual. His enormous successes in the industry, which have won him numerous nominations for Academy Awards, make him Hollywood’s best-known director.
