MAFIA MAMMA COMEDY

I'll wait for the trailer to decide which way to go on Mafia Mama. That one sounds like it could go either way for me, and I don't mind a mafia flick here and there.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Hardwicke did comedies before.
DeleteMay it be funny for all the right reasons. Hello Dez.
ReplyDeleteYou never know.
DeleteDid I mention... Monica!
DeleteI was surprised that you haven't.
DeleteOhh good Hotel Portofino is coming to PBS. Just hope its PBS and not just that thing in Amazon where you have to pay twice to watch series when some are free in most cable systems.
ReplyDeleteI think it is PBS Masterpiece, but I guess it depends on how good or bad the series will turn out to be, they were shooting it this summer in my neighbourhood of Croatia.
DeleteI checked PBS masterpiece content, they have some seriously good international period pieces, but I can only access it through Amazon Prime, it ends up being $20 monthly
DeleteThey really are robbing people blindly.
DeleteMonica Bellucci always looks so stunning!
ReplyDeleteShe is showing the signs of getting old in some of the latest photo shoots, but I did not use any of those.
DeleteDear friend! Mafia Mama sounds good. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMamas do like to rule mafia.
DeleteA funny mafia movie, now that sounds interesting. One of my favorite book series is about a mafia family with special powers. So I don't mind mafia stories.
ReplyDeleteHope they did not use them for killing but making pasta.
DeleteAnother comment has mysteriously disappeared!!!! I don't really watch Mafia movies unless they're factual. I don't believe in fantasizing something so serious!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me, Blogger ate it!
