Okay, Okay, okay...I'm a Cosmic City movie critic...here goes...(nothing here about Joe Pantoliano)--- I found "This Thing Of Ours" at the Blockbuster here[size=4](yay).[/size] A riveting, intelligent, authentic, originally humorous gangstermovie, but not a comedy. James Caan makes an appearancein a mob flick that is
deeply into pasta and software, of course thenormal flagrant usage of the highly-touted "F" word. Most every gangster in here is of Italian origin. [font=Arial Narrow]The mafioso idea or philosophy is by now[/font] much corrupted. As they say in the mob,killing is part of the business, but there is a lot of corruption (if one can call it that), of the ethos and credos of gangsters ofthe '40's. It's almost all now about ego and power, instead of some type of honor among theives. Naturally all the major families have been diminished or fragmented so much thateveryone is basically out to save own skins, held together with bare thread to other fellow gangsters. "This Thing Of Ours" wuz not presented in theaters. I found it pleasantly refreshing, a change of pace from Hollywood intercourse. Directed by Danny Provenzanowritten by Danny Provenzano and Ted A.
