Your lucky you came back! I just sent Vinnie looking for you
Why Mexicans, Russian and Italian mafias much better than the CIA and the DEA?
Nobody is looking over their shoulders – to kill and torture with impunity.

Mob Hits – Music From and a Tribute to the Great Mob Movies $12.39 As you may already know from seeing it hawked incessantly on late-night TV by Jerry Vale, Mob Hits is a compilation CD that attempts to capture the ambience of the modern gangster pic by assembling songs heard in key scenes of such films as The Godfather, GoodFellas, Donnie Brasco, and Casino. While licensing restrictions keep the music of Frank Sinatra from being part of this collection (odd, as … |

The Sopranos: Music From The HBO Original Series $3.71 HBO’s Mafia masterpiece The Sopranos is a remarkable television series–it’s witty, creative, and truly unique. The same praises could be sung for a show’s soundtrack, an odd but fun mix of beats, classic rock, and–what else?–Mafia-staple Sinatra. A3′s theme “Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)” gets things off to a lively start, as does bluesman R.L. Burnside’s “It’s Bad You Know” (from his C… |

Il Divo [Blu-ray] $5.94 Subtitled “the extraordinary life of Giulio Andreotti,” director-writer Paolo Sorrentino’s Il Divo details the latter portion of the reign of Italy’s seven-time prime minister, the leader of the Christian Democratic Party for some 50 years and a guy with more nicknames than James Brown: in addition to Il Divo, Andreotti, who is now in his nineties, has been known as the Sphinx, the Salamander, the… |

Johnny Stecchino [VHS] $19.98 During its release, this was the most popular film of all time in its native Italy. A typical Roberto Benigni comedy of mistaken identity, this 1991 work stars the actor-director in two roles, one a tough mafioso named Toothpick and the other a meek bus driver who is the gangster’s look-alike. When the bad guy’s girlfriend comes on to the clueless innocent–and she brings him along to her Sicilian… |

Last Don [VHS] $9.99 If you have an appetite for Sicilian soapers, then you’re like all those other people who made Mario Puzo’s The Last Don the highest Nielsen-rated show for the week in mid-May 1997 when it originally aired. And who could blame you, since the story line of this TV miniseries is chock-full of all the familiar elements that make up a bestseller–power, money, sex, murder, gambling, madness, fame, Ho… |

A Bronx Tale $8.54 Chazz Palminteri wrote the script for this excellent story of an Italian American boy (Lillo Brancato) who grows up in the 1960s caught between the strong influences of his blue-collar, straight- arrow father (Robert De Niro) and a Mafia chieftain (Palminteri) who is his all-purpose mentor. De Niro makes his directorial debut with this production and, except for a little stiffness, does very well … |

Miller’s Crossing $3.98 A compelling, modern twist on the gangster genre, courtesy of Joel and Ethan Coen. Albert Finney is an Irish-American mob boss ready to go to war with a rival gangster, and Gabriel Byrne is a loyal lieutenant who tries to prevent the conflict, until a woman comes between them. Double- and triple-crosses abound in this violent tale of honor among thieves. With John Turturro, Marcia Gay Harden. 115 … |

My Blue Heaven $3.02 The idea is clever but the movie can’t seem to pull its comic weight: Steve Martin plays a mob informer who is placed in the witness-protection program and doesn’t fit into the suburban California life the Feds have picked out for him. Rick Moranis is the FBI agent assigned to protect him. Martin mugs his way through the role of an Italian wise guy from the New York streets, but his performance is… |
