Casino is superior.
Both are pretty forgettable. But, yeah, Casino is the better of the two.

Casino is way too long and boring. Stone's star lost its shine at this point in her career and pesci had overstayed his annoying welcome

Casino is easily Stone's best performance.

So weird how that happens sometimes. If you watch it, let me know how it is.

Because it's not very good? Bill Murray kind of phones it in and Tim Robbins does his "I'm crazy but am I really maybe maybe not" thing that he does way too often. Mackenzie Crook I don't even remember being in the movie and I'm a fan. It's just pedestrian and another studios attempt in the post Harry Potter world to find a book series that will take off. Too many good books were ruined around the same time.

At the after-party at meatpacking district eatery Vento,[7] the pic's baddie, Bill Murray, said, "You can't help but feel that this film is speaking to you right now, when you really feel a little bit lost, a little abandoned." Added pic's Tim Robbins, who was joined by cast mates Martin Landau and Saoirse Ronan at the premiere: "I just loved the script. It had such a good, optimistic spirit about it. It's fun to play against this bleak, dark world."

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Love gremlins. The theme tune is awesome too.
And that scene of them all singing hi ho in the cinema is just one of the underrated all time best moments in cinema.
