Peter Travers is a quote whore. He loads his reviews with little lines that can be quoted on everything.

Hmm, I actually like the cover art for the 1-disc version better, but I'll buy the 2-disc one.

why is this priced $34.99 at Amazon? even if it changes prior to release, i've never seen such a price for a mere 2-discer only a month before...

Now THAT'S a cool cover!! I dig the single disc cover over the 2-disc version.

Why the hell can't they just stick to using the movie posters?!?!?

- 9 additional scenes with introduction by Martin Scorsese
- The Story of the Boston Mob featurette
- Crossing Criminal Cultures
- Theatrical trailer

Pretty lackluster overall.

I thought another bonus was an overview of Scorsese and his career?

i think the biggest bonus for this release is the movie itself. one of the best of the past 10 years!

nope. the TCM documentary Scorsese on Scorsese did not turn up as anticipated. its a shame since all of his WB work is out in the box set, so this would be the last chance to release it without a double dip down the road. hopefully it will turn up as a retailer exclusive

It's 86 minutes long. I doubt they would hide something like that as an egg.

The extra disc doesn't seem worth spending the extra $10 or so. I may just pick up the single disc release for this one.

I'm in for the 2-disc, regardless. This is still my top film of 2006.

I'm sure he would have done one, but Warner just doesn't seem interested in doing them anymore. Look at the last several Warner special editions, no commentaries to be found.
