We have 2 exciting events going on this week. On Thursday November 20th, at 9:45 pm, at the Tribeca Cinemas, as part of the Big Apple Film Festival, the movie, "Lynch Mob" which features Tony Darrow (Larry Boy Barese) will screen. Scream Magazine describes it as "Life imitating art, or art imitating life, that is the question! Come see the movie Christopher on the Sopranos was trying to make. 'GoodFellas meets night of the Living Dead'!"

Then on Friday, November 21, The documentary; "Beyond Wiseguys: Italian Americans & The Movies" will be screening at the The 5th Annual Big Apple Film Festival, Tribeca Cinemas, 54 Varick Street, NYC at 8:15 pm. Executive Produced by John Turturro and narrated by Paul Borghese (BAFF Board of Directors), the film uses interviews with well-known contemporary filmmakers to show how Italian Americans transformed themselves from "outsiders" – stereotyped by the Hollywood establishment – into a creative force to be reckoned with. The film also explores the prevailing gangster stereotypes from the silent era, the advent of the "talkies," groundbreaking films like "The Godfather" and the TV series "The Sopranos". The documentary is illustrated with film clips, stills and family photos – many supplied by the interviewees themselves – including Chazz Palminteri, Marisa Tomei, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee, Jack Valenti, David Chase, Ben Gazzara, Isabella Rossellini and others. Tickets can be purchased here on line or at the box office.
