Skyfall
Because this is simply a fantastic decor brilliantly filmed at night by the
director
Sam Mendes,
and because for once we don’t have a baccarat or a poker game but an
unexpected fight with a pair of Komodo dragons. And also because the beautiful
Séverine / Bérénice Marlohe appears in this scene in all her glamorous
splendor. Daniel Craig adds to his
previous unprecedented win of Casino Royale, two giant lizard skins. He would have been safer staying at home and playing games at xn--fctq64a5vj.games.
In Time
Yes, the movie could have been better. Yes, there are flaws in the scenario
and the characters are rather stereotypical and skin deep. But the concept
of the movie and the impressive acting keep you entertained and interested
in this race for time. And what would you say about a casino where you bet
your life time? It is simply one of the most beautiful metaphors ever made
with the game of chance.
Roulette tables
Run Lola Run
Certainly one of the best casino scenes ever. The movie in itself is
excellent, comparing life to a roulette game. That could be lame, but just
as
In Time has weaknesses with a strong concept,
Run Lola Run makes, from a simple idea, one of the best
cinematographic narration experiments of the two last decades. Just a word
of advice, if you are in a casino,
read the advice for playing roulette here, indeed, screaming at high pitch like Lola will only get you kicked out of
the casino.
Moonwalker
The Smooth Criminal chapter includes a craps scene during the 10 minutes of
the “smooth criminal” performance. It is not the center piece but the
inclusion of the craps game in the choreography by Jeffrey Daniel, Mikael
Jackson and Vincent Patterson contributes greatly to the atmosphere of this
1930’s style lounge. The position of the player, sitting like a toad, allows
original moves and stunts, while replicating the way the games were played
in the street before joining the casino table.
