All tag results for 'mafia'

There's a lot of racket coming from New York this morning as 100 suspected mobsters were arrested during numerous raids across NY and NJ. Turns out, this is the biggest mafia bust in New York history!

The gang was all invovled - FBI, NYPD and State Police officers - as the 100 mobsters were booked on everything from gambling to racketeering to murder. The FEDS report that they've snagged members from all New York Mafia familes, as well as associates of New Jersey's Soprano DeCavalcante family.

Well done, folks. You've performed a civic duty.

Hundred bucks says all 100 of them are released and acquitted by dinner. (What, you don't think there is a judge on their payroll? Forget about it!)

Looks like this could be a very promising one!

NBC will be picking up Jamie Foxx's new dramatic series Tommy's Little Girl, which stars Selma Blair, Paul Sorvino, Tony Sirico, and James Russo.

Impressive cast! The idea is being described as La Femme Nikita meets The Sopranos meets Awesome.

The story is about a young girl raised in a mafia family, who gets sent to an orphanage to hide after her family is killed. When she grows up, she becomes "an attorney by day, and a deadly, well trained killer by night." She seeks to avenge her family's murder, and searches for her last living relative.

We'll def be checking this out when it airs.

Does this type of show appeal to you? Will U check it out when it premieres?

Don't get too excited, Sopranos fans, he's NOT taking the Sex and the City route!!

David Chase, creator of the HBO mafia drama, plans to direct his first feature film with Paramount Pictures!!

The untitled script, also written by Chase, is apparently a music-driven coming of age story about a group of guys who form a rock band in the '60s.

That's a pretty vague description, but it already sounds like Almost Famous to us!!!

We'll remain cautiously optimistic until more details emerge!! We still haven't forgiven him for The Sopranos finale!!

What do U think?? Will U go see David Chase's first film as a director??
