Get ready! … And another great movie opening in 3 weeks, The Many Saints of Newark, the prequel of The Sopranos. You’ve heard how great Michael Gandolfini is as the young Tony Soprano, originally played by his dad James, but there is so much more to this film! The writing is stunning and Ray Liotta could get a best supporting nod. Opens October 1st.
