Cinessentials: Unforgiven

Joe Leydon • Feb 21, 2005 • 0 comments

Editor's Note: This year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture feature the work of two acclaimed directors operating at the top of their game, Martin Scorsese's The Aviator and Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. So it seemed liked a good time to revisit reviews from UAV contributor Joe Leydon of earlier films from these same artists: Scorsese's GoodFellas and Eastwood's Unforgiven. The reviews cover the two-disc Special Edition of Unforgiven and the single-disc release of GoodFellas. A 2-disc Special Edition of GoodFellas is now available for $26.99.
