Being a big fan of gangster movies (my favourites are of course Godfather, Goodfellas and Casino ), I'm pretty excited about some upcoming projects:

#1 American Gangster ( 07 )

#2 Brooklyn Rules ( 07 )

Plot: Brooklyn, 1985. With the mob world as a backdrop, three life-long friends struggle with questions of love, loss and loyalty.

Director: Michael Corrente

Plot: The story of Al Capone's arrival in Chicago, his dealings with cop Jimmy Malone, and his subsequent rise to power.

Director: Brian De Palma (Scarface )

I simply love this genre, that's why The Sopranos is definitely my favourite show ever. I'm still in denial that the final episode has aired I started a Poll about the final scene in the Sopranos forum (grenius of stroke or cheap cop-out) and it's pretty much 50-50. As I see it, Chase just wanted to tease the experienced Sopranos-Fan who always bargains for the next whacking.The whole scene indicates "something awful is going to happen!" and then, nothing happens, just a black screen, that's it. I guess Chase thought "Just because it's the finale scene,you want me to include a whacking? not gonna happen."

That's true realism
