This is the last of the series of four featurettes(six total, but the remaining two do not have pages here on the site) on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Casino, and thus the one with credits. It consists of interviews, clips of the movie, pans and such across still photos and behind the scenes footage. They go into all that comes after filming is over... post-production, carried by the talented, long-time editor of Scorsese, Thelma Schoonmaker, release, complete with the original reception, and awards, that Stone very deservedly won. It's paced nicely, at nine informative minutes that cover a nice amount, and not really boring at any point. Everyone has something to say, and Pileggi, for example, is always cool to listen to. This has some pretty funny moments, too. At the end of this documentary, Martin talks about the relationship between working in the medium and money, big and small budgets alike, what the situation is and whether or not it will change. There is no real objectionable material in this, as far as I can tell. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the subject. 7/10

Casino: After the Filming (2005)
*** (out of 4)
The fourth and final featurette on the CASINO special edition has Martin Scorsese, writer Nicholas Pileggi, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and producer Barbara De Fina talking about what happened once the filming was complete. This includes the editing of the picture, the music selection, the rough cut and the mixed reaction the film got. In all honesty, I don't remember the film getting many negative reviews. Some complained it was too much like GOODFELLAS but I remember the film having mostly positive reviews. For the most part this is a good way to close all the featurettes, although obviously had it ran longer it would have been better. Still, fans of the film will enjoy the interviews.
