A favorite cable television series in recent years for me has been USA Network's In Plain Sight about U.S. Marshals charged with relocating and protecting federal witnesses. The dramatization of people who must adjust to a new life with a new identity is engaging and thought provoking. How does a person not only leave behind their friends and relations, but also change their occupation or interests to avoid detection?
Based on by French crime fiction author Tonino Benacquista, writer/director Luc Besson's The Family provides darkly humorous insight of a former Mafioso and his family's existence within a federal witness program. When extortion and illegal activities are all you've known for your entire life, it's not easy to adjust to a different lifestyle -- even in the idyllic setting of the French Riviera or the historic and slower-paced Normandy.

We've seen Michelle Pfeiffer sing, we've seen her slink around Gotham City, and we've seen her as a drug lord's trophy wife, but now we'll get to see her as a mafia badass.
From "Dangerous Liaisons" to "Dangerous Minds," the Oscar-winning actress gets dangerous yet again in this week's "The Family" alongside Robert De Niro. Pfeiffer's Maggie Blake may look like a sweet little blonde lady, but don't judge a mob boss's wife by her cover -- she'll blow up your convenience store if you make fun of her French.
Pfeiffer has been on both the big and small screen for the last 34 years, but there are still a handful of facts you probably didn't know about her, such as her penchant for oil painting. Check out 20 little-known tidbits below about the actress below.

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. Does it get much more intimidating than that? I've chatted with plenty of celebrities during my time at the site, but I doubt I've ever been faced with two such imposing acting legends paired together. It's a good thing you can't see me sweat. (I have make-up on.) In Luc Besson's The Family, De Niro and Pfeiffer play Fred and Maggie Blake, the heads of an American mafia family hiding out in France and attempting to adjust to life in a foreign country....

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer may play ruthless Mafiosi in their new crime comedy "The Family," but at the film's world premiere Tuesday night, they looked like they couldn't hurt a fly.
Pfeiffer, who plays Maggie Blake, wife and mother of a mob family, was looking flashy in a purple velvet suit on the red carpet alongside co-stars De Niro, Dianna Agron ("Glee"), and John D'Leo.
"The Family," co-written and directed by Luc Besson ("Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"), stars De Niro as Giovanni Manzoni, a mob boss who moves his wife and kids to France (and changes their last name to Blake) under the witness protection program. But this seemingly sweet family is far from sweet, and when their violent tendencies come out, it threatens to blow their cover.
The red carpet became a gangster affair as Jean Reno ("Leon: The Professional"), Mafia movie favorite Vincent Pastore,...
