A Surprising 'Sopranos' Reunion

18 April 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

It's a "Sopranos" reunion, courtesy of ... Nickelodeon?

You read right. Cast members from the late HBO mob series will reunite in the Nickelodeon TV movie "Nicky Deuce," which stars "iCarly's" Noah Munck and "The Sopranos" star Steve Schirripa.

The movie, which is based on the children's book written by Schirripa and Charles Fleming, centers on Nicholas Borelli II, a.k.a. Nicky Deuce (Munck), a nerdy teen who finds himself in Brooklyn with a mobster uncle (Schirripa) he never knew he had after his plans to attend math camp go awry.

Schirripa (a.k.a. Bobby Bacala) tapped many of his former "Sopranos" co-stars to make appearances in the kids mob movie, which is sure to have fewer f-bombs and trips to the Bada Bing than "The Sopranos" did. Look for James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Curatola and Tony Sirico in The Huffington Post's exclusive "Nicky Deuce" trailer above.

Blu-ray Review: Talented People Falter in ‘Killing Them Softly’

11 April 2013 1:59 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Andrew Dominik delivered one of the best movies of the ’00s the last time he worked with Brad Pitt when the two made “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” And so there was intense anticipation for their follow-up collaboration, “Killing Them Softly,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD. Call it a sophomore slump but “Kts” is a film with tons of style and some interesting ideas that nonetheless feels like a dirge and plays like a film twice as long as its running time.

Rating: 2.0/5.0

Based on “Cogan’s Trade” by George V. Higgins (the name change is the first thing to raise eyebrows), “Killing Them Softly” attempts to graft a commentary on our increasingly dire economic times with a thriller about a mob hitman with a trio of assignments. Pitt plays the guy brought in to clean things up when a couple of numbskulls (Scoot McNairy & Ben Mendelsohn, »

Exclusive: Andrew Dominik Talks Killing Them Softly Blu-ray

26 March 2013 1:31 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Director Andrew Dominik discusses his critically-acclaimed drama Killing Them Softly, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD

Although it didn't take off at the box office like I had hoped it would, director Andrew Dominik's brilliant Killing Them Softly was one of my Top 10 movies of 2012. Chocked full of brilliant performances from Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Ray Liotta, and Scoot McNairy, this adaptation of George V. Higgins centers on the fallout from a high stakes poker game robbery, set against the backdrop of the 2008 Presidential elections. I recently had the chance to speak with Andrew Dominik about his fascinating drama, which debuts on Blu-ray and DVD March 26. Here's what he had to say.

I'm not normally a huge fan of deleted scenes, even in movies I love, but I really enjoyed these deleted scenes. Are these the ones you were trying to fit in and you just didn't have room for? »

Killing Them Softly | Blu-ray Review

26 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

Director Andrew Dominik is obviously upset about the current political climate in the Us. His latest, Killing Them Softly, unsubtly comments on the empty Cspan chatter of the 2008 presidential campaign by bluntly displaying an America deaf to the bureaucratic business of national politics, one of underground, not-so-legal activity. Though the perpetual motion machine of small time crime is certainly nothing new to the world of cinema, the film takes pains to avoid genre tropes by curiously composing its A-list cast of characters as crooked archetypes. The criminal cutouts are allowed guttural dimension, all but drenching them in the blood baths of botched circumvention and the cash-driven enunciation of hired hit men.

As if to show his irreverence of the figureheads running our country, the opening credits sound of Obama being cut off by the opening title cards and bracingly set against an ominously humming ambiance. It’s a harrowing beginning »

Killing Them Softly Hitting On March 26th

1 February 2013 9:32 AM, PST | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Mark your calendars for your chance to pick up Killing Them Softly. A worthwhile effort, and great turn by Brad Pitt (I don’t say that often), this is one that didn’t get enough attention in theaters.

I’m actually curious to see how the special features turn out, and, given the lack of information, what they turn out to be. A Making Of is bound to be of some interest, but I’d love a commentary track here.
