Will I have to add BOARDWALK EMPIRE to my DVR rotation? With Steve Buscemi, Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter on board, it should be a no brainer and the teaser trailer is impressive in scope. So much so, you might think this is being released theatrically. HBO knows how to spend some money.

Hopefully this will be on the opposite spectrum of Scorsese's GANGS OF NEW YORK which like BOARDWALK, was also based on a non-fiction book. GANGS still stands as one of the most visually rich, yet dramatically inert pictures I've seen. Every passing year, the movie feels more and more slight. Fortunately, Winter has worked on THE SOPRANOS, a show that keeps getting better with age.

Oh, and did I mention that Michael K. Williams, AKA Omar from THE WIRE is in this.
