If he didn’t find security in being one of our finest filmmakers, Martin Scorsese might almost be annoyed with Raging Bull II. But total confusion about an unneeded, bizarre, William Forsythe-led follow-up to his 1980 masterpiece — a follow-up, it should be said, that neither he nor Robert De Niro will have any involvement or say in — is the extent of his own reaction. That’s one of the few things Scorsese and I have in common. (Supreme talent is… it’s not one of them.)
Now, Variety reports that unknown director Martin Guigui (he’s got the first name!) has a full cast; lo and behold, it’s a decent lineup that, amazingly, is filled with people I’ve actually heard of. Joining Forsythe, we have Joe Mantegna, Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller, Natasha Henstridge, Alicia Witt, Ray Wise, Harry Hamlin, Bill Bellamy, James Russo — the lattermost of whom...

Of course, if you've seen Goodfellas, then the name Henry Hill should ring a bell as he's the main character played by Ray Liotta. Now, a documentary about the point shaving of 1978-1979 at Boston College is underway via Steel Titan Productions, which includes recent documentaries with the late Hill. The Boston College Fix looks at the scandal through Paul "Paulie" Mazzei's eyes - the Mafioso mastermind who worked with Hill and nabbed around $400,000 during the 78-79 college basketball season. Interestingly enough, the doc also has Mazzei going back to his Pittsburgh hometown 35 years later to confront his accomplices, and of course Hill. "He was a normal guy who had lived an extraordinarily historical life," said the film's director Cayman Grant.
