Dear Wiseguys,
Not too long ago, a topic on the forum was "books we'd like to see Written." I got a real kick outta that one, and had a lot of fun adding to the list. THAT got me thinking about "movies I�d like to see made," and of course with my screenwriting talents just two weeks ago...
SO... here are some of today's latest movies that could be rewritten to become mob classics:
"Elizabeth" 4 stars
"Francesca" 4 nail files
Biographical drama about Americanmafia.com's official Mafia Princess. (yes, written by, directed by, and starring ME!!!!!)
"The Deep End Of The Ocean" 2 stars
"Throw The Rat Bastard Into The Deep End Of The Ocean" 2 guns
The harrowing tale of an informer in the Federal Witness Program who resurfaces 9 years later straight into a pair of cement shoes!
"Shakespeare in Love" 4 stars
"Wiseguy in Love" 4 guns
A comedy/love story about a frustrated young soldier trying to work his way up the ranks to impress the daughter of his capo.
"Baby Geniuses" no stars (it was THAT bad!)
"Ain't No Geniuses" NO guns (but DOES get a pair of cement shoes!)
An infantile comedy about the thought patterns (if there are any) and language of wiseguys.
"The King And I" 1 and 1/2 stars

"Six ways to Sunday" 3 stars
"Six ways to Marion" 3 guns
A "how to" movie for those interested in life in a max security federal pen. Each way, graphically highlighted, guaranteed to take you straight to Marion's electric fence.
